Rio Rancho, NM

Rio Rancho Coyote

This photo of a beautiful Coyote was taken last year in Albuquerque’s sister city of Rio Rancho New Mexico. Coyote's are seen quiet frequently in the Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and surrounding NM areas. Coyotes normally present no harm to humans but we are advised to speak loudly and keep moving when we encounter one. Coyotes are however a threat to small pets and small children.

I would love to exceed your real estate expectations in the purchase or sale of your Albuquerque, Rio Rancho or Central New Mexico home. Contact me, John McCormack, Realtor®, with Albuquerque Homes Realty and put my NM real estate knowledge to work for you!

The City of Rio Rancho is prepared for the next Snowstorm.

During the December winter storms, the City of Rio Rancho, NM failed its residents due to poor planning. Apparently the city did not have the necessary snow removal equipment to clear the roads, so it basically went for days under lockdown. Schools, local government, and businesses alike were closed for days.

Considering the fact that Rio Rancho gets more snowfall than Albuquerque, it seems strange that the city did not have the snow removal equipment. Albuquerque roads were cleared be the next day. In response to the loud public outcry, the city has invested about $100,000 to retrofit more vehicles, and to buy the necessary equipment to clear the street for future snowstorms

Good Luck to t residents of Rio Rancho.

Rio Rancho Real Estate Market Update - Detached Homes, November 2011

Below you will find six of the most important market statistics for Detached Homes in Rancho, New Mexico. As we compare today’s real estate market to those of six months ago, there has been a decrease in the average price of homes. By understanding today’s real estate market, we will be prepared to price your home appropriately to sell for the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time.

The data indicates that more homes are entering the market than are being sold, so we are in a still in a "buyers market." There has been a 18% decrease in the amount of homes available for sale. The expected result is a increase in price which maybe reflected in the List Price...however, the Average Price of Sold Homes decreased approximately 7% from $177,670 six months ago to $165,864 in the month of November.

2011 NMAA 5A FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS

Last Weekend Football Fans Across the State of New Mexico were treated to some great football action. All of the games were outstanding, but I believe the 5A Championship Showdown between the Cleveland High and Mayfield High was the game of the week and will be the focus of this post.

I picked Mayfield to win, and they performed very well but they came up short. This is not to take away anything from Cleveland's Spectacular Performance.
