The real-estate market has been impacted by the Coronavirus.
There is no topic more pressing on the world’s attention than the coronavirus. The safety for ourselves and our loved ones is the first and foremost concern and hopefully the infection and death rates begin to decline.

A time of transition
Over the next month or so this blogsite will undergo some changes in authorship and management. Eventually the style and design will likely change also, but that will be up to the new administrators. A little review; many years ago I started a monthly newsletter with information about Santa Fe residential real estate. It has […]

Welcome to 2020
My first impression was to tag this year as the year we are all going to have perfect vision. Then I got to thinking maybe I should just hope that we keep our eyes open and woke to what is happening around us everyday. Not a day goes by that I don’t think we could […]
Continue readingWhat a decade it has been

Read and copy or print if you like; newly calculated statistics are now available on the site for Santa Fe residential real estate sales thru the end of April 2019. Sales continue to be strong and there is a small increase in inventory which should be absorbed fairly quickly. Even the $1 million plus price […]

Just when you thought our Dear Leader might run out of ways to misrepresent the facts of any given topic, he comes up with new and unique ways to tell lies. And some of them just seem to be told so he can stay consistent in his lying. But when you hear some of them, […]
