The hubbub encompassing the POTUS contest and many of the other positions up for voting is unique in United States history, say those who might know. This year may go down as the least active year for the Legislative branch of our national government, while the contest to see who gets to live at Casa Blanco lumbers on. I am not predicting anything, nor am I telling you what to do, but please do vote as if your future depended on it. The belief that your vote does not matter is the same mistaken belief that if you throw your trash along the roadside, it will not matter, And yet it does.
In politics, as in real estate, there is not always a fact-checker around to verify or dispute what someone says. If I say to you that if you buy that home on Main Street and keep it well maintained, it will grow in value 7% a year for the next 10 years, would you believe me? You should not. First I cannot predict the future. The chance of that coming true is quite small anyway. Because I said it does not make it true, either. If I say it 100 times it is no more true. Best to verify what I am telling you, along with those talking heads on TV that say they will lower your taxes, end all wars and make our cities and neighborhoods safer. A chicken in every pot? How about reducing nepotism and corruption. closing some special interest loopholes and keeping big, unaccountable money out of our decision making process?
Let us debate the relative merits of living in Santa Fe versus other towns in the Southwest. Let us debate the types of views you like from your portal, the number of interior steps are OK with and the sex appeal of radiant heat. Do you mind living on a dirt and gravel road? Are you aware of alternative energy sources people are using to heat and cool their living spaces? Are you interested in a rural area where you will have a water well and a septic system? Is the walkability of your new home important to you? When you and I discuss Santa Fe real estate, I will do my best to share my 30 plus years of experience and good judgment to help you accomplish your goals. If your ideas and goals are not supported by market statistics, I will tell you that also. Please fact check me and vet me for the type of professional you want to work with. My reputation speaks for itself. I approve this message.
