queensbrook,

Could you clarify? Are you living in Las Vegas NM or NV? It sounds like you are saying you are in Nevada.

I don't know anything about Los Lunas...but I would guess they do not get much snow....and housing may still be reasonable there.

Santa Fe is very expensive as far as housing goes. Santa Fe does get snow.

Los Lunas and Santa Fe are two very different areas. I am wondering why you are interested in those two places in particular.

Can you define "snow much?" What would you consider "much?"

> i`m sure the homes are somewhat cheaper ...

Las Vegas is an inexpensive area - relatively speaking.

You'll get much faster answers by using the search function
and searching on [snow] or [weather] and [Albuquerque].

Los Lunas and Santa Fe weather are similar to Albuquerque
with Santa Fe a few degrees cooler and Los Lunas very
slightly warmer.

Try The Weather Channel for your research.
National and Local Weather Forecast, Radar, Map and Report
That way, you can get the answers you want as opposed
to what people want you to know.

You posted a couple of times in the Denver and Colorado
forums in March. Did you decide the snow was too much
for you there?

If you hate the snow and you hate the heat, check out
Las Cruces or Tucson as a compromise. Tucson is nothing
like Vegas in terms of heat and it is much cooler at night.
Las Cruces might get snow once during the winter and rarely
goes over 100 degrees.
