Las Cruces NM, The Secret Is Out. Great Weather and Great Value in Real Estate has Made Las Cruces New Mexico the Nation's Greatest Place to Live
(PRWEB) July 2, 2006 -- Todd who are coming to Las Cruces? “The consensus from my clients, builders and my co-agents is the majority are baby boomers purchasing second homes. A lot are retirees.” The AARP in its most recent issue said that Las Cruces is one of the best places to retire in the U.S. “Many are just fleeing the outrages housing market in the East and West coast, having sold their home for a nice profit,” Todd said.
Why are these people moving here? Todd continues “Well, there are many reasons. Our weather is wonderful. The cost of living is affordable and comfortable. Las Cruces is large enough to have amenities but small enough to provide a hassle free daily life. Oh and the Organ Mountains, absolutely beautiful. Friendly people, the University Theater the symphony, art events. Come on, living here is great.”
The awards and publicity from AARP and Forbes were cited as factors as well as near by recreation such as Elephant Butte, Lincoln and Gila National Forests, Ruidoso, El Paso as well as Mexico. The Sun News reports that housing appreciation is up 5 percent when March of 2005 is compared to March of this year. The number of homes sold in March 2006 -- the last month for which the Las Cruces Association of Realtors can provide statistics -- is 20 percent ahead of March 2005.
Is the the housing market still looking good for all the newcomers? “Absolutely, let me give you some statistic, existing single family home sales for June, 2006 indicate the following median prices. (1 to 2 Bedroom - $129,273, 3 Bedroom $182,812, 4+ Bedroom $255,321, Condo $126,516.) The total units sold for February was 147 for an average sale price of $190,767. There were 740 active single family units for sale at an average price of $269,875. There were 23 condos at an average unit price of $192,345. So you can see it could not be a better time to buy or sell a home in the Las Cruces area.”
Todd, how is this effecting business in Las Cruces? “Business is booming! My web site traffic ( http://destinationlascruces.com ) goes through the roof." Forbes Magazine recently named Las Cruces one of the best smaller metros for business and careers in 2006. Las Cruces is ranked in the top 10 cities in the areas of income growth, cost of doing business and job growth.
A vibrant real estate market and booming business will continue in Las Cruces as long as we can keep the characteristics that make Las Cruces attractive. " What has been our little secret here in the south west as been gaining attention for the past few years." Todd continued "Those of us who live here have known all along that Las Cruces is a great place to live, raise a family and retire."
