santa fe real estate: 2011 National Association of Realtors Survey Says... - 01/08/12 03:33 PM

In this new landscape of real estate online, everyone seems to be asking about what buyers and sellers are actually doing in the real estate market place. The 2011 National Association of Realtors (NAR) Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers is a resourceful guide when looking for trends in home buyer and seller preferences and behavior. Here are some interesting results which stood out for me about buyers and sellers.
The median downpayment for all buyers was 11 percent. The range was 5% down for lst time home buyers with a range of up to 15% for repeat buyers. Buyers … (27 comments)

santa fe real estate: It's A Bird It's A Plane... - 01/08/12 02:02 PM

It's a bird, it's a plane and sometimes in Santa Fe the conversations get interesting when we wonder if it is a raven or a crow. This one found me getting out of car at the office on the early side of nine this morning while the sun was still gleaming before the snow began to fall. This one was having a conversation all by itself. When I looked up, she hopped from one branch to another and kept on talking or crowing. It was clear she wanted me to do something besides look and ask her if she was … (6 comments)

santa fe real estate: Real Estate Is Going Social - 01/08/12 11:40 AM

Have you heard? Real estate is going social more and more every day. Social networking is now a familiar buzz word for most of us.  With over 750 million active Facebook users and 200 million tweets per day on Twitter, the use of social media in real estate is now a hot topic.  Only two years ago, anyone using social networking for real estate was a pioneer.  Now it is the new craze in the industry.  There are mobile smart phone apps and iPad and tablet ones for the top global real estate web sites:  Realtor.com, Zillow.com and Trulia.com.

santa fe real estate: What Is My Santa Fe Home Worth Now? - 01/01/12 11:47 AM

Today is the first day of the first month of 2012 and we all feel everything is automatically different. If you are a Santa Fe homeowner wondering if 2012 will be a good opportunity to catch the wave of improving real estate sales and news stories, then now is a good time to check on your home's market value, current solds and overall trends in your Santa Fe neighborhood.

santa fe real estate: What Happened Next... - 12/27/11 03:12 PM

At times I think our new landscape of real estate is all about "what happened next" and then some. Today was one of those days. It began in the office with another one of those watercooler conversations about why NOT to use social networking. You all know the lines: no time, no energy, no return on investment, my clients prefer face-to-fact contact... etc. Given I write a column about it, I am like a magnet for comments and questions. I listened without comment, got my hot water for tea and went back to making appointments for showing selling a home … (75 comments)

santa fe real estate: Lew Wallace: All things based on our experience elsewhere fail in New Mexico - 12/26/11 04:34 AM

True or False? All things based on our experience elsewhere fail in New Mexico. At least, this was what Lew Wallace believed when he was the Territorial Governor of New Mexico in 1881. Of course, he was writing Ben Hur at the same time while living in the Governor's quarters on our now historic Santa Fe Plaza.
My answer is false. Why? Santa Fe has some of the cleanest air in the country along with blue skies most of the year. We are continually rated as a top destination for travel and also for living. In fact, Case Shiller recently … (2 comments)

santa fe real estate: Santa Fe, New Mexico Today: December 22, 2011 - 12/22/11 03:46 PM

Today was the first day of winter in Santa Fe, New Mexico and mother nature decided to bring both snow and sunshine to make a difference in my day. These three bears can be found in the Gerald Peters Gallery. I usually pass by them once or twice a day as my office at Santa Fe Properties is across the street. Today, they were exceptional in the way they wore their new snow clothes. Somehow, just looking at them warmed my heart and made me smile. From Santa Fe, New Mexico... Happy Winter!

santa fe real estate: Taking a Horse Break Or Braking For Horses... - 12/18/11 01:02 PM

I love horses. There is nothing like seeing one that will stop us from just enjoying their company even when they are wandering free (this one got away from home) on a side dirt road along Santa Fe's Highway 14. Now we are always ready to rescue lost dogs and cats standing in our path... but horses, well that is different story. Fortunately, moments after we stopped to admire this one who was too busy eating and enjoying freedom to care about our horsepower, his owner appeared from around a nearby barn. This is just another reason why I love … (3 comments)

santa fe real estate: A Slice of Santa Fe Heaven... - 10/15/11 05:30 PM

The other day someone left me a voice message asking me to find them a slice of heaven in Santa Fe. And like some home buyers today, they forgot to tell me their name or really anything else. They appeared to be fascinated by the fact that Val Kilmer's ranch just sold for over $18 million and they wanted to know if there were other slices of heaven left in Santa Fe. And like some home buyers today, they forgot to tell me their name or really anything else. Yet, their request intrigued me to think about all the possibilities and … (5 comments)

santa fe real estate: Print To Postcards To Web To... Market - 06/11/11 05:00 PM

In this new landscape of real estate it is a challenge to stick with a marketing challenge and make it work everywhere where buyers are fence sitting. This year has been no exception given the explosion of real estate online and the way people are using social media to communicate and obtain information. So how does a listing agent break through all the clutter and position the seller's home in this market?
Here is what I am doing to make a difference for my sellers. First, I advertise only in color. Why? People see in color not black and white. … (3 comments)
