Warren Buffett's Advice to Secretary | Now is the Best time to Buy your Retirement Home

Debbie Bosanik, Warren Buffet's secretary decided it was a good time to buy a retirement home and is quoted as saying;

            "Warren tells me that it will be the best opportunity in my lifetime"
 
This is a fact for people who have dreamed for years about an opportunity to buy a retirement home or those who have worked diligently to secure employment, build credit and are now ready for home ownership, today's market offers low prices and the cost of money is at a record low with banks offering mortgage loans at rates below 4%. The big question is, is it time to buy that home?  My advice is to take seize the opportunity because if you are waiting for the real estate market to hit "the bottom" it is certain that it will have come and past before you know it.  The real estate housing inventory is already decreasing in many parts of the country so the time is right with the low prices and interest rates in your favor.

Mesa Del Sol Going Green

It is no secret that Mesa Del Sol will be a unique self-sustained master planned community but did you know that Mesa Del Sol has plans to Go Green? Albuquerque is currently the number 5 greenest city in the country and now Mesa Del Sol plans on doing their part to keep with the theme "Keeping Albuquerque Green".

Mesa Del Sol will make the most of every drop of water by employing a systematic storm water and waste water harvesting system for re-use in a high desert landscaping design. Mesa Del Sol will also dedicate 3,200 acres to parks, trails and open space which will account for approximately 25 percent of the Mesa Del Sol Community.  We would love to hear your thoughts on this!
