Why ABQ?

1.  Albuquerque Is Ranked Best Metro For Home Appreciation
Forbes Magazine (Aug. 25, 2008) has ranked Albuquerque the number one place where home prices are most likely to rise.  Albuquerque's top ranking can be attributed to local business expansion as well as future job growth.  Forbes writer Matt Woosley stated that homebuilders and economists are "bullish" about Albuquerque's potential going forward. Housing starts are expected to grow over 26% in 2009 according to the National Association of Homebuilders. ( learn more+ )

2.  There is an organization called Albuquerque Economic Development www.abq.org
AED is comprised of over 450 local businesses that are investor members.  They each contribute somewhere between $1,500 to $50,000 a year.  This money helps the AED engine "run."  President Gary Tonjes and his crew go outside of the city and they bring new jobs to the area.  One example is Schott Solar (from Germany): they currently have about 30 employees but when their new plant gets built and is in operation (south of the airport) their company will grow to 1,500 with-in two years.  New jobs equal new growth.

3.  Weather and climate is almost perfect.
We don't have hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, floods, etc. We are a mile high up and so even in the summer we don't get too hot. In the winter we rarely have snow, and if it snows it's usually only a couple of inches. One winter two years ago we did have two feet of snow for about a week, yet that was a fluke.

Why now?

Now is the best time to buy a home (or a home as an investment property).  See reason number 1 above under Why ABQ?  The rates are almost the lowest they have been in almost three decades.  If a person has an excellent credit rating, a good steady job, with few debts, they will be able to qualify for a loan.
