December 2009 was a very good month for selling real estate in Alamogordo, New Mexico and it looks like January 2010 may be following suit.  We have hardly any rentals available after the influx of new personnel at Holloman AFB the past several months.  Many of the folks that would have normally ...

We've made to the Christmas season once again, however it seems that at least 30 (out of approx 200) of our local associate brokers will be hanging up their hat at the end of the year and will not be re-newing their association dues.  It has been a tough year, but all in all, it didn't seem reall...

A year has passed and I survived being a REALTOR during my first year licensed in New Mexico.  Probably wouldn't have if it hadn't been for my military retirement and a good savings.  It has been hard, even in our community where sales have only declined a little.  Our market lagged here only bec...
