New Mexico Real Estate Market Holds Steady as Historic Santa Fe Homes Continue to Gain Value

(PRWEB) May 4, 2007 -- Santa Fe is definitely “The City Different” in terms of the New Mexico real estate scene. Santa Fe homes maintain a unique and historical architecture dating back over 1,600 years. “Buying a place in Santa Fe is an exciting experience with rewards lasting a lifetime,” according to Brad Bealmear, Associate Broker with Sotheby’s International Realty and owner of the new Web site High-Desert-Properties.com.



For those who revel in the brightest and sharpest stars (due to the city’s 7,000-ft. elevation), glorious sunlight almost every day, incredible turquoise skies and billowing clouds overlooking gentle pinon-covered foothills, pine-covered mountains and the meandering Rio Grande Valley – what other place will do?

In this dry, high desert air (meaning some powdery snow in the winter with warm days and cool evenings in the summer) one will discover a delightful small city of earth-colored, softly-rounded homes set snugly into the landscape. Visitors and residents alike enjoy world-class opera, dance, theatre, music, and visual arts of all types. Afterwards, relax for dinner at one of Santa Fe’s hundreds of restaurants with variety and quality on par with any city. But most favored is New Mexican fare – blue corn enchiladas smothered in red or green chile with refried beans, posole (hominy cooked with pork or chicken) and of course sopapillas (hot puffed fried bread, hollow inside) with a squeeze of honey. A margarita or cerveza completes this scene…

Many visitors become so enchanted with Santa Fe they find they simply have no choice but to buy a home here. Luckily the New Mexico real estate market seems eternally buffered from the sharp spikes and drops found elsewhere. While prices do move up and down a bit and the housing supply may drop or occasionally become slightly overloaded for a time, generally a “Santa Fe Continuum” maintains a steady supply of nice adobes and keeps prices increasing at a rate beneficial to sellers and buyers, while not setting off alarm bells. It’s almost always a good time to buy – or sell – Santa Fe homes.
