In news brief from the Taos Chamber of Commerce it was announced that %u21CTaos and the Enchanted Circle were ranked thirteenth in %u21C133 Destinations Ranked%u21D in the November/December issue of National Geographic Traveler. Taos is tied with the Kruger National Park in South Africa! It even appears that we are ranked fifth in the country! Taos is truly a place not only to visit, but a wonderful place to call home.%u21D

For cultural diversity, a fabulous 4-season climate, and the rich artist community makes Taos and the Enchanted Circle one of the best places to live in the USA!

Our fall was spectacular! The Fall Arts Festival brought a wonderful sampling of Taos established and emerging artists. I am so please and honored to report that I won First Prize for Contemporary Art and Drawing in the Taos Invites Taos exhibition!

We got our first real taste of the winter to come with 6 inches of snow in Angel Fire. The mountains surrounding Taos glistened with the fresh crystals of snow!

This is a great time to buy Taos Real Estate. We have had several lovely homes reduced in price to sell before the winter season begins. With the passing of the extension for a tax credit for all home buyers, not just first time buyers, even though winter is approaching and the outside temperature are falling, Taos Real Estate is hot!

Here is an excerpt from the latest bulletin from the National Association of Realtors:

The Extended and Expanded Tax Credit will contain the following provisions: Amount: $8,000 Eligibility: ALL HOME BUYERS (Step-up buyers will have to have lived in their current home for SEVEN* years to be eligible) Income Limits: $125,000 for single filers and $225,000 for joint filers Time Frame: December 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010 plus 60 Day extension if binding contract is in place by April 30, 2010
