emily medvec: Why the Talk About A 2022 Housing Bubble is Poofy! - 11/13/22 04:04 PM
Even though the top 2022 housing market headlines predicted a crash or a housing bubble burst for 2022, I think this terrier has the right idea about bubbles...they are poofy! Without dismissing buyer and seller fears fueled by media, here are some important realities and facts from housing economists, who are typically pessimistic, to seriously consider.
This is not 2009 or a housing bubble 2.0.  A market correction is not the same as a crash or bubble burst. Historically LOW home inventory or 3,000,000 million homes short of meeting buyer demand according to Freddie Mac estimates Buyer demand is still consistent … (16 comments)

emily medvec: Buyers: A Solution to Create An Affordable Mortgage - 10/27/22 04:14 PM
Lenders and Realtors are exploring ways to create a more affordable mortgage for a Santa Fe home purchase.  "It's a fact that many households are impacted by higher mortgage rates as they no longer earn the qualifying income for the median-priced home." Nadia Evangelou, NAR Economist. Today, new financial loan products and negotiation together can make it possible to purchase in this Santa Fe market.
One of the things we are doing to help buyers lower their house payments is to suggest an adjustable-rate mortgage.  The rates on these types of loans are tied to indexes that reflect the current market rates and … (7 comments)

emily medvec: Awesome Cloud: The Santa Fe NM Storyteller - 10/02/22 03:01 PM
Meet Awesome Cloud. In Santa Fe, NM when clouds come over the mountains, they have a different story to tell. This cloud appeared over the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range on a day in late July. It was not a typical cloud by any means. It was a cloud created by the movement of the Hermits Peak & Calf Canyon fire still burning far to the east of Santa Fe. 
Two weeks ago, fire crews were still cleaning up the land and northern New Mexico communities damaged and in some places destroyed. Three days ago, the U.S. Senate passed a spending bill … (8 comments)

emily medvec: Santa Fe Real Estate: It Does Snow In Santa Fe - 02/11/18 07:04 AM
It does snow in Santa Fe is the answer I frequently give to buyers seeking to relocate to the Southwest. This is often a surprise to people in the northeast who dream of never shoveling snow again. However, Santa Feans know snow is a blessing of water from Mother Nature. And an opportunity to see our adobe walls differently. Here is what I discovered this morning just before sunrise. 
And the rest of the story is our nearly 365 days of sunshine often melt the snow quickly. There is no need to bring your snowblower when you relocate to Santa Fe, New … (5 comments)

emily medvec: A True Story: The Power of a Blog Comment on Activerain - 01/29/18 03:33 PM
 Here is a true story about how my comment on a blog turned into a radio interview. I'm sitting in front my laptop screen in my home tuned into the Activerain web site browsing for a blog to read. It is January 28th 2018 at 4:28 am MST. Sipping my 2nd cup of coffee, this blog title Don't Expect To Be Spoon Fed written by Margaret Rome caught my attention. You may be wondering why? For years, I have been quietly passing forward the wisdom in her book, Real Estate the Rome Way to new agents as a loaner. [And of course, … (20 comments)

emily medvec: Speechless Sunday: There Is Nothing Like A Passing Cloud - 03/26/17 11:17 AM
There is nothing like a passing cloud to wake up my imagination. This one chose to introduce itself when I looked away from my other so-called "window" on the computer for moment...as if the cloud was calling me to say hello. Clouds on a blue sky are one of the things my dad always taught me to look for when I was five and growing up, without much of a view between buildings, in a factory city in Connecticut. The way I could always find them was to lie down on the ground and look up at the sky and wait for a … (12 comments)

emily medvec: That One Bite At A Time Strategy For Accomplishment - 07/27/16 02:46 AM
Today real estate for many buyers and sellers is often beyond a challenge. For many involved in the process it can become overwhelming quickly.

Take a moment and see if his advise can help you handle your next challenge with less stress to reach your goal. 
There is that old question, "How do you eat an elephant?" Answer: one bite at a time. In real estate deals, large projects, weight loss goals, oftentimes the whole thing at first … (3 comments)

emily medvec: A Picture Is Worth More Than A Thousand Words On Instagram - 06/23/14 09:08 AM
Earlier today I wrote a post about what happens when you leave the screen of real estate and look around at what nature has to offer outside your door. The lead character in the blog A Natural Beauty Discovered in Santa Fe New Mexico was a prickly cactus yellow blossom. What I forgot to mention was the rest of the story. Since I made the photo with my iphone, the first thing I did next was post it on my Instagram site. Why? I have been intrigued by the fact that the Instagram app is beyond easy to use and an … (4 comments)
