I really wish we could get rid of Debbie O'Malley and Michael Cadigan. I live in Cadigans district so you can count on me to not vote for him again. These two have their own agenda at keeping ABQ small. They fight everything Mayor Chavez does, it is time for change.
Ya i also too live in Mike Cadigan's district, and once i almost got into a fight with the guy i cant stand him at all. I have another house over on the far westgate heights area and Ken Sanchez is the councilor over there he is far better than mike, but the dem councilors are just wack.. we need more republican city leaders, funny how i say that cuz i'm hardcore democrat.. haha
Today was so exciting! we started to talk about mesa del sol at our city meeting, according to the developers.. its the largest masterplanned urban center being planned in the US, i doubt it.. but go figure haha.. we also watched this video.. and the presentations were really nice, mesa del sol will see lots of green grass areas.. what albuqerque needs
Progress and maybe some more progress,.. evrything is on track for the mesa del sol project. Of course this picture is from June so many things have changed, we took a drive out there today and its really going good.
ALbuquerque top 25?.. Were #1 in 2007, something i didnt know ...
I'm sorry, Bradly, but I don't take these too seriously. They are based on forecasts -- and we have the data now for 2007 and part of 2008 -- why still look at forecasts?
The OFHEO data based on same house sales shows an one-year appreciation for ABQ at the end of the first quarter 2008 of about 1%. That makes ABQ the highest in NM by a very small amount and 124th nationwide. It is still positive, when it is negative many places -- but is nowhere near top 25.
Also who is it exactly who is doing these forecasts that you cite? They seem to believe that mortgage rates have dropped. Have they been to the bank recently?
Also why is that the ten "Hottest Markets" that they list http://www.housingpredictor.com/hot.html are not identical with the first ten of their top 25 Markets http://www.housingpredictor.com/top2008.html (broken link) ??? ABQ is number 10 on one list and 17 on the other??
