north valley: Garden Tips for Albuquerque, NM: Create Beauty and Help Sell Your Home!
- 04/06/10 03:15 AM
Its Spring Time! If you are selling your home, a beautiful garden creates a wonderful, abundant, and peaceful outdoor environment. Unless a home buyer is looking for a zero maintenance yard, well-established, low-maintenance landscaping is more often than not attractive to buyers in search of a place that feels like they have come home. As the days warm up here in Albuquerque, NM, I am struck with garden fever. Although we are not free from frost-free nights yet (looking out the window this morning, I see lots of gray clouds in fact), especially for those of us who live in the North Valley, South Valley, … (1 comments)
north valley: North Valley Albuquerque Homes and Real Estate
- 03/30/10 07:02 AM
North Valley Albuquerque homes and real estate are often surrounded by an environment of peacefulness. Winding streets, long, narrow parcels, acequias, and fertile landscapes fill the North Valley landscape. Many homes sit on lush acreage, surrounded by colorful gardens, small orchards, and ancient cottonwood trees. Because many homes are set on one acre or more sized lots, this is one of the few areas in Albuquerque where the city permits horses. It is also common to see chickens, llamas, peacocks, and goats roaming in people's backyards.Existing housing is very diverse in price, size, quality, and type. Most residential areas are marked with custom … (0 comments)
north valley: Green Appraiser in New Mexico
- 11/11/08 12:12 AM
Does anyone out there (in New Mexico) know of an appraiser that specializes (or at least has a wide knowledge base) in green home appraisals? Green built homes -should- carry a higher value per foot than do "non-eco" homes but there are so few green homes out there to compare. In fact, The National Association of Realtors reports that Congress is actually considering legislation, HR 6078, which would require energy efficient, energy-conserving, and renewable energy sources be considered as improvements in an appraisal. The house I am building right now is located in Albuquerque's North Valley, which anyone who knows, is itself … (5 comments)
north valley: Book Recommendation: Earth Spirit Living: Bringing Heaven and Nature into Your Home
- 11/10/08 06:45 AM
As I am in the midst of building a green home, it is important to me to make sure that the aesthetics and "energy" of this home reflect, honor, and bring forth the power and beauty of the earth. I want the "what" and the "how" to converge, so that not only do the building practices honor this planet as much as possible, but also that the energy which the home creates inspires whomever inhabits this home to also honor the earth. OK. You might think this sounds a bit hookey or new agey. (New agey I am not - maybe just a bit crunchy). … (0 comments)
north valley: To Microwave or Not?
- 11/09/08 04:38 PM
As mentioned in an earlier entry, I am a green builder and am currently building a totally eco-friendly home in Albuquerque's North Valley. One of the questions my wife/partner and I are deliberating over is whether or not to install a mircowave into the home. We have made the mindful choice to not own one for over the last five years. Our decision has been based on the reseach which shows that microwaves change the mollecular/ cellular structure of food and that they emit large amounts of electromagnetic waves/pollution. Health is our number one priority. Now becuase we are building this home … (9 comments)
