las cruces: A Trip to the Gila Cliff Dwellings - 10/06/11 05:39 PM
When you live in Las Cruces you have access to so much. One of our favorite areas is the Gila Wilderness where you find the Gila Cliff Dwellings.
About 700 years ago the Mogollon (muguhYON) people lived in the cliffs high above the Gila River. They hunted and fished, grew corn, beans, and squash. They used native yucca for food, sandal material, needles and even soap and shampoo.
The dwellings that remain are within the rugged Gila National Wilderness, the first wilderness area established by the US Government. The national park is only 43 miles from Silver City, but takes … (3 comments)

las cruces: A Day Trip to White Sands - 08/11/11 03:42 PM
The White Sands National Monument is a must-see for any family in Southern New Mexico. The White Sands National Monument is a vast 275-mile white sand desert sitting just a short drive from Las Cruces. The scenic beauty of the white sands offers breathtakingly beautiful recreation your whole family will enjoy.
The White Sands National Monument is a vast desert of huge, undulating white sand dunes. Our family loves walking barefoot through the sandy dunes. Keep your eyes open for animals or even small footprints they leave behind in the white sands as your family explores the White Sands National Monument.

las cruces: Innovative Education in Las Cruces - 07/21/11 02:12 PM
As a parent, I know how important education is to a child’s life. We all know that teenagers especially need a little extra guidance. If put in the right environment, it’s wonderful to see your young one grow and flourish into an independent, compassionate adult. I’m glad to see that Las Cruces has provided such an environment at the Early College High School.
Early College High School isn’t just a school; it’s an opportunity! Las Cruces is home to the first early college high school in New Mexico. What’s an early college high school? It’s a joint effort between the … (0 comments)

las cruces: Tips for Building a New Home - 05/26/11 05:27 PM
Designing a new home in Las Cruces is part art, part science. It takes both to make a house that's energy-efficient, uses less material to build, and connects with its building site - what we call "green building."But, beauty is skin deep and sometimes "green" is, too. A truly green home is green from the inside out; the "green" can't be separated from the "home." Sure, you can make any Las Cruces home more energy-efficient, but that's usually just cosmetic surgery. Loading up a house with energy-saving gadgets helps a little, but a green home in Las Cruces is born that way, starting … (0 comments)

las cruces: 2 Patios for Enjoying Las Cruces Evenings - 05/16/11 10:19 AM
One of the best things about the weather in Las Cruces is that you have more time than just about any other community in the county to enjoy afternoons and evenings on the patio.
Other than a few weeks in the Summer and a few weeks in the Winter, you can spend most of your Las Cruces afternoons or evenings on the patio enjoying a drink, meal or just good company. That's why back patios and courtyards are a center piece of most Las Cruces homes. Many Las Cruces homes have outdoor kitchens, entertainment centers with outdoor TVs, seating and covered areas.

las cruces: What do You Think About Southwestern Style? - 02/09/11 12:42 PM
Every year we work with new people who fall in love with Southwestern style homes. Las Cruces' Southwestern style, sometimes called Santa Fe or Pueblo style, has a unique blend of southwestern architecture that matches our unique culture.
There's no doubt about it, if you're moving to Las Cruces from back east, you will fall in love with the space, privacy and designs that you find in the Southwest. We have yet to work with someone who has asked if they can buy an apartment on the 4th floor of a high rise.
Southwestern style is unique with clean lines, rounded corners, … (0 comments)

las cruces: Avoid a Foreclosure! - 02/05/11 10:09 AM
At some point, many homeowners come to the realization that they can't afford to stay in their home. Those who plan to give up their home, but want to avoid foreclosure (including the negative blemish it will cause on their credit report), consider a short sale. A short sale allows you to sell or walk away from your home without incurring liability for a "deficiency."
The Short Sale In many states, lenders can sue homeowners even after the house is foreclosed on or sold, to recover for any remaining deficiency. A deficiency occurs when the amount you owe on the home … (6 comments)

las cruces: Why Spaceport American Matters to Las Cruces - 10/25/10 10:26 AM
The runway dedication at Spaceport America was on October 22, 2010. This was just one more step in the process of seeing the spaceport come to life. During the event WhiteKnightTwo flew over the spaceport and to the crowd's surprise, eventually landed.
Having the first commercial spaceport just up the road from Las Cruces is pretty exciting and knowing that we are nine to 18 months away from tourist trips to space is even more exciting. Here's why.
The Economy
The Future
The Local Education

las cruces: Tough Enough to Wear Pink! - 10/07/10 08:07 PM
This weekend is the 4th annual Tough Enough to Wear Pink NMSU Football Game, in support of national breast cancer awareness month, which occurs each October.
Since 2007, the group organizing the event has raised over $1 million in cash and in-kind contributions. The best part is that 100% of this money stays in New Mexico funding nationally recognized cancer research at NMSU and UNM.
In 2008 this money contributed to making more than 300 free mammograms available to Dona Ana County women who might not otherwise have had access to this life-saving procedure.
In honor of this … (0 comments)

las cruces: Ideas You've Never Heard of to Stage Your Home - 10/01/10 11:24 AM
If you are selling your home let me share a story with you. Last week I took buyers to a few homes. Here's what happened at one of them:
The family was inside eating dinner. Since they had just sat down to eat, there were dirty dishes on the counter. Two kids were crying because they wanted ice cream. The TV was on one of the news channels with a controversial political debate taking place. It smelled like spaghetti. And worst of all, the husband tried to talk to us as he was walking out of the bathroom.

las cruces: 3 No-So-Obvious Ways to Know if You Should Buy a Home - 09/27/10 10:26 AM
In a perfect world, you should buy a home. You need a place to live. You have to pay for that living. Hence, real estate is a great investment for you. Right?
Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world. More and more people are realizing this. Okay, maybe I should say that more and more banks are realizing and enforcing this.
The 2 most obvious factors in deciding if you should own a home are credit and money. Simply put, if you can't afford it, you can't buy it. Our website has comprehensive information on real estate and has a … (3 comments)

las cruces: How is the Market? - I still say it’s GREAT! - 09/18/10 11:40 AM
I wrote a Blog Post in June with this same title. Then in August, I wrote "NOW is absolutely the best time ever to buy a home." I stand by both of those statements. You will find some home owners, potential home buyers, and even some REALTORS who say the market is terrible. Whatever that means!
I say,
"Chicken Little don't worry, the sky is NOT falling".
But, Chicken Little says look at what I see:
Based on the first 6 months of 2010, we said sales are up over 2008 and 2009, and … (4 comments)

We’ve had a hot summer, but surprisingly not too many triple-digit days this year. Nonetheless, I wanted to share a couple simple tips with you on how to stay hydrated and cool for the next couple months and maybe even save you some money, buy better utilizing what you already have: windows and blinds!
Keeping Your Body CoolMy advice is to stay inside between 12p.m.-4p.m. if at all possible, but if you do have to be outside though, it is best to wear a lightweight, long sleeved shirt, a hat, sunscreen, and to drink at least 8 ounces of water every … (1 comments)

las cruces: Be kind to your skin this summer - 05/18/10 02:26 PM
Though we haven’t officially hit summer— June 21st—the fact that we live in the desert pretty much means that summer has arrived sometime mid May! And I don’t know about you, but this summer I plan on being out in the sun a lot—showing houses, watching grandkids swim, gardening, farmers market, vacations, etc—so I know that I’ll be piling the sunscreen all over myself along with reminding my grandkids (and my adult kids) to slather it on!!
Here are a few common mistakes that I ran across the other day when I was surfing the web. For more on your … (0 comments)

My husband and I went out with a couple of friends on Friday to wrap-up a fantastic week, so of course what better way to do this but to go out and have a couple margaritas and some delicious Mexican food. By the way, I hope you don’t get tired of me ranting and raving about Las Cruces’ red and green chile—I can’t help it, it really is that good! We decided to go to Cha Chi’s, located at 2460 South Locust Street, where we had only been a couple times before. I couldn’t even remember for sure if they had … (3 comments)
