Green2V project draws concerns and questions

Bringing alternative energy employment opportunities to Rio Rancho is truly beneficial to the City of Vision. The prospect of being the “Solar Valley” of the US is not only good marketing but could be practically true. Not that the over 300 sunny days in Rio Rancho would mean anything, but developing solar panels in place that does boast a lot of sunshine makes sense. Please take a look at the very informative article in the link below by Christopher Ortiz that helps explain the concerns that have come up regarding the Green2V solar panel company.

Foreclosed and Bank Owned home sales in Rio Rancho

Many Rio Rancho home buyers are looking for a great deal on their home.  I analyzed homes sold in the Rio Rancho area to see how much of a discount buyers were getting off of the listed price of bank owned and foreclosed homes. For the past 6 months, with an average days on market of 37, I found 47 closed homes meeting the criteria with the sales price to list price at 97.53% .

That means for a house priced at $200,000 the average price a buyer could expect to get this bank owned or foreclosed home would be $195,060. This may be surprising to many as there seems to be a perception out there that bank owned homes are available to make low offers on or buy well below listed price. It seems that these bank owned homes are already priced quite well and the banks aren't discounting them much beyond their offering price.

Thinking of taking advantage of the deals available in homes right now in the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho areas? We've helped many people buy bank owned and foreclosed homes and know the ins and outs. Give us a call today.

Homes for sale in the Rio Rancho, Placitas and Corrales areas

I've had the opportunity lately to show homes in Rio Rancho, Placitas, and Corrales to several buyers considering any of these areas.  My take away from looking at houses for sale is that there are some great homes on the market, and quite a variety of home sites... from the "Georgia O'Keefe" Santa Fe look of Placitas to the open mesas of Rio Rancho, to the variety afforded in Corrales... low to the Rio Grande River or up on the hillside taking in stunning views.... there's something for every home buyer to choose from.

Relocating to Rio Rancho?

We've assisted many people and families in the relocation to Rio Rancho NM.  Many will be working in Rio Rancho, but others will commute from Rio Rancho to Albuquerque or even Santa Fe for employment. 

When Hewlett Packard announced their relocation to Rio Rancho, we were fortunate to work with many in their relocation.  Some needed help finding a rental or temporary housing, while others purchased homes.  We are full service realtors, and will help you in all facets of your move. 

We strive to make your move as stress free as possible and be valuable resources to getting to know the area and your housing options.  Whether you are looking for a new home, or resale, we know the market well.

Rio Rancho's Solar announcement! Good for homes and Rio Rancho.

Rio Rancho NM made a big announcement this week in that it has plans to buy and develop the 124 acre land west of V. Sue Cleveland High School, and that Green2V has committed to build a combined campus of corporate headquarters, research and development hub and a 1 million-square-foot manufacturing plant employing up to 1,500 people eventually.

While many are skeptical (as other announced solar facilities haven't come to fruition in Belen and Santa Rosa) I believe this one will happen.  With the head of Green2V having a history of working at Intel in Rio Rancho. I believe his choice to partner with The City of Vision was intentional. 

What does this mean for home owners in Rio Rancho and Albuquerque? Judging by the impact Hewlett Packard made... I think very significant.  We worked with many people relocating to New Mexico and Rio Rancho to work for Hewlett Packard.  I have no doubt that Rio Rancho suffered less because of the HP impact.

My hope is that there will be new neighborhoods developed near this future site and close the the High School as people like to live close to where they work.  Pulte Homes, DR Horton Homes, Centex Homes, Sivage Homes, Joe Boyden Homes, Stillbrooke Homes... perhaps some of them will be looking for land to develop near this area and be ready to sell houses as the Green2V is ramping up.
