January 2013 brought a surge in buyers for Taos real estate. It's unusual for our Taos market to show such strength in the dead of winter, but real estate agents aren't complaining a bit.

Lower prices on homes, condos and land, coupled with low interest rates, have brought out the buyers. We hope this is the beginning of a great sales year here in the Angel Fire area.

Lots of buyers are taking advantage of the foreclosure market. But there are other hot deals out there that do not involve the foreclosure process. People are interested in land again, dreaming of building their perfect place in the paradise of New Mexico.

We expect to see more homes, condos and land lots entering the market this spring. Sellers are realizing, as buyers are, that capitalizing on the low interest rates offered could be just the ticket to a successful sale this year.

If you're a buyer, it's good to look on Zillow.com, Trulia.com, Realtor.com and Homes.com websites, but remember that we as agents for you can do a more comprehensive search for you than those you use on other internet sites. Email us or call us with your criteria and we can send you a direct link to all homes that may fit your needs.

If you want to sell your land or home, do the same. Email us or call us for a complete and complimentary market analysis of your property and what it could bring in the marketplace.

Remember, New Mexico Mountain Properties services the entire MLS system, including all of Taos, Colfax and Rio Arriba Counties.

We're here to help!

All best,
