Snow on the Sandias and the sun coming up!

12/03/2025

It's winter on top of Sandia! When you get about 300 days of sunshine a year, cloudy days are kind of charming.

Although the tendency is to stop looking at residential real estate over the holidays, you might find the hidden gem if you want to look... Don't hesitate to reach out to us!

A little geography / history / trivia from the city we love. And a Bugs Bunny reference doesn’t hurt 😀

Did you know you can stand on the corner of Route 66 and Route 66 in Albuquerque?

You might notice Route 66 signs in all four directions at the intersection of 4th Street and Central Avenue in Downtown Albuquerque. When Route 66 was established in 1926, the federal government paved the highway north to Santa Fe and south through Albuquerque and Isleta Pueblo to Los Lunas – one of the pathways of the historic trading route, El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro.

In 1937, New Mexico Governor Arthur Hannett rerouted Route 66 to thread east to west through Albuquerque’s bustling Railroad Avenue. Today, we know that street as Central Avenue. In popular culture, this Downtown intersection is at the heart of Bugs Bunny’s running joke: I knew I shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque!

Real estate transactions often follow standard patterns, but sometimes we're called upon to help with unusual plans. We recently completed a transaction for a friend who wanted to simplify his family's estate planning, improve their 2024 income tax situation and help a family member transition from renting to home ownership. This is a pretty sophisticated plan, and, of course, we were only working on the real estate portion. Quickly organizing a small team (attorneys, escrow company, notaries. and our brokerage) was, in fact, a little challenging, but also gratifying. And we were reminded of some of the technicalities that we don't always think about in a "standard" residential transaction. When you start in real estate, many established brokers warn you to stay in your lane. They have a point. But we continually and carefully try to widen our lane whenever and as much as possible.
