Posted by Carlos Martinez on
Every year when January rolls around you vow to lose weight, save money or spend more time with family and friends. But what goals do you set for your home?

This year go room-by-room clearing anything that you don't use, wear or love and donate it to charity. Clean out your closets and any other space that is packed with things that you haven’t seen in years. Sell things (ebay, criaigslist, throw a yard sale) and turn those things into money that you can use towards a home improvement project that you’ve been putting off.

Take a look back at 2013’s dynamic year in real estate. Low mortgage rates, all-cash buyers and bidding wars played a part in the housing market's recovery. In 2013 we saw the housing market recover a lot faster than we anticipated. It was a great year for seller and homeowners who saw their home values appreciate. 
The reason we picked this home was because it was brand new and had all the bedrooms that we needed. Each room was the perfect size. WE love the three car garage it is perfect for two cars and more. The area we live is quite and safe. Rio Rancho is growing and is close to anything that you need. We love the fact that we have an amazing view can see from Belen to Santa Fe. We have natural wood burning fireplaces one in the master bedroom that is basically at the same height as the bed. We are on one acre so skies the limit.

No matter what type of furnace you have, there are several things you can do to keep your heating system in top condition. Heating systems are usually trouble-free and easy to maintain.

We moved into this spacious home because of the open floor plan. There are four bedrooms upstairs along with a balcony from the master suite. The balcony has beautiful views of the east Sandia Mountains and city of Albuquerque. There are also the same views from the landscaped backyard. The view will never be compromised. There are wood floors throughout and has recently been painted. The location is great. We are close to the I-40 freeway and are near a park and a walking/bike path. Nearby is also the new stadium. Our neighbors are great and are very nice. This is a great home that is spacious and great for entertaining.

A "down-payment" is the difference between the home's purchase price and its mortgage amount. The down-payment must be paid up-front and can vary by lender, location, and loan program. A higher down-payment generally translates into lower loan interest rate. Down-payments typically come from personal cash savings, but it can also be a borrowed amount secured by assets.
