Another Monday in Santa Fe

Well today is the Monday before Election Day, an hopefully all of you have already voted or have plans to. Today is also the first "work" day after the time change, and I am still finding clocks which haven't been changed. So confusing.
But our weather has been unbelievable during the last week - it has been in the mid 70's! This week is very promising in Santa Fe, New Mexico - great weather, wonderful people, incredible restaurants, and beautiful museums and galleries.
Give me a reply and I will be happy to give you a few numbers to my favorite places. Like Clafoutis one of the best new restaurants open for breakfast and lunch - 505-988-1809.

Daylight Savings and Fireplaces

How fun we get to turn our clocks back one hour at midnight on Saturday, November 1st, and wake up to bright sunshine and leave work in the dark. But here in Santa Fe that will also signal that it is time to start lighting the fires. How wonderful the smell of pinion and cedar wood burning is. It is a smell almost as wonderful as the roasting of green chile in August. The best time for me is coming home and my wonderful husband has a fire going. I don't even mind starting dinner then. So if your here in Santa Fe you know what I'm talking about and if not - come to my town and inhale the beauty.

1031 Exchanges in Santa Fe, NM

Well I just finished a two day 1031 exchange course which was great since I have done so many recently. What a wonderful way to defer capital gains tax and have a piece of income generating real estate. Santa Fe is fortunate that we have not felt the impact in the real estate market the way so many other markets are. As a resort area we have a year round tourist season and many people are coming in and purchasing single family homes, condos and townhouses to have as on the short term and long term rental market.
As always it is a good time to buy in Santa Fe, New Mexico!
