Does the climate make a difference to you and your wife? Some places such as Alamogordo and Cruces are hot in the summer and warm in the winter. In the mountainous parts, such as Ruidoso/Capitan where I live are cool pretty much year round as in using the A/C maybe 2 months out of the year, and maybe not using the A/C at all.
Just throwing that in, in case it makes a difference.
