2011- Find Gold n Silver in Silver City

Now's the time to look for the "gold" that lies waiting for you in New Mexico. Less than 5% of the available and accessible gold has been mined (according to most experts).

If they were talking about Real Estate gold, I 'd say that a much larger % has actually been claimed.

There are, however, pockets of the precious commodity (both real gold and real estate gold) available if you know where to look.

I have been treasure hunting for close to 40 years, and have helped many folks learn to prospect during that time. For most of the last decade, it's been helping folks find treasure when they purchase or sell a New Mexico home. I take pride in getting a fair price for you when you sell and the same pride when you get real value when you purchase your version of Dream Home. Lessen the pain and worry of closing too. Careful attention to your time frames and details should help you with a less stressful purchase and closing.

Note to Visitors: The phrase "All that glitters is not gold" applies to real estate as well as to prospecting and treasure.

Unless you live here and are intimate with the demographics of the area, when you shop for homes and are ready to make a purchase, you are pretty much at the mercy of folks who give you their version of our market. The resource you choose to rely upon might not always put your interest's first.

Occasionally we have families, well to do singles, retired couples and others who are not familiar with this area, purchase very nice homes and settle comfortably into the Silver City life. Too often it seems a purchase is completed at a price which to me seems high for whats available (fair) in the market.

I understand that to new friends coming here from other markets that our asking prices may seem like fantastic opportunities based upon where they came from (there are some if you know where to look). It's when numerous properties sell in a short time frame at well above fair value that it can artificially inflate values for similar type properties for a long time.

If no "pricing" red flags are brought up or investigated while in the looking process, it's possible some purchasers make decisions upon an asking price they assume normal, reasonable, and probably fair in the current market.

As the first REALTOR to support IDX web searches in this community with the Dream Home New Mexico website (proudly the Premier site for Silver City), I am making available another outstanding resource on local information including Finance, Education, Business and Personal Demographics, Way and Quality of Life, Weather and Environment (plus lots more)..

I think it is important to know fair value and to be familiar with LOCAL SILVER CITY NEW MEXICO INFORMATION FAQS - not gobbldygook from hungry wolves looking for an improved payday.

Regarding the Local Info site: You will not be required to register, but if you decide to, you can also save listings and property searches as well as receive notification when something about one of your favorite's is changed.

Finally you have a real ability to see what our community is about and what we have to offer.

Please enjoy.
