With all the nation-wide media hype regarding the sub-prime mortgages and impending foreclosures, many people have FEAR about buying real estate. Our media forces us into this fear-based mentality so that many buyers have adopted a "let's wait and see" attitude. 2007 saw a definite slowdown in the real estate market in Taos and Angel Fire, New Mexico even though Taos, Red River and Angel Fire are vacation and retirement destinations and are not really affected by the same conditons as many parts of the country. However, 2008 looks extremely promising as people begin to come out of their shells and begin to see that there are real values out there. The selection is diverse from single family homes to a wide variety of condos and town homes.
