Happy Thanksgiving to our Rio Rancho friends!

Thanks to so many of you, we have so much to be thankful for!  We are so blessed with wonderful family, friends, and yes, real estate. Being able to do what we love and be successful at it is awesome!

We celebrated Thanksgiving with out of town and in town family already... but plan to get together again tomorrow for a simple meal of chowder and plenty of board games and simplicity.  With the technology available to us it seems we almost never just turn off work. 

May you have much to be thankful for and enjoy the holiday!  We appreciate you and look forward to many long friendships.

Make Over to Alegria Community

Pulte Homes is a familiar home builder to the Rio Rancho area and it’s good to hear that Pulte will be investing one million dollars to rejuvenate the Alegria Community. Pulte recently merged with Centex who started the Alegria Adult Community. Welcoming Pulte into the mix includes Del Webb who also merged with Pulte 8 years ago. Having all these excellent builders now under one roof is a win-win situation.

ABQJOURNAL WEST/BIZ: Welcome, Del Webb!

Rio Rancho Homes and Land update

Home sales and prices for homes in Rio Rancho continue to outpace Albuquerque. Recent statistics by the NM Board of Realtors shows that Rio Rancho is holding it's own in home sales and value. We believe a lot of that has to do with the Hewlett Packard employees arriving to town, along with the great school systems and low crime levels.

If you're interested in homes in Rio Rancho or Albuquerque, please call or email and we'll be happy to assist you. Buying or selling, we can show you how to take advantage of the real estate market here in New Mexico.

All the best, Tracy
