Hello [firstname],

Happy New Year!

Here are up to the minute photos of The Alameda job site progress. As you can see, despite the (unusual) amount of snow in Santa Fe in recent weeks, construction is fully underway and moving along at a truly impressive rate. Now that we are vertical, inquiries continue to increase and sales are also accelerating as interest in the project gains more and more momentum. The building is already half sold-out!

Andy Sandoval, of the M. Kaplan Companies LLC, Senior Construction Supervisor, said "the slab on Building A has been laid and the 2nd floor is being framed. (We) hope to have (B,C & D) framing going up in the next four weeks, all the site and water infrastructure is being worked on and the utilities are being installed."

Please feel free to contact any one of the sales team members who will be happy to meet with you onsite for a personalized tour of the job site, if your wish. Additionally, you will be contacted shortly by Miles or Coronado Paint & Decorating to set up an appointment to complete your finish selection. The array of options is impressive!

See you soon!

Alameda Ground Breaking

noemail@thealamedacondos.com — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 15:00:00 GMT

On May 22, 2006 Tribble and Stephens, the general contractor for The Alameda Condominiums, officially broke ground and began construction. Since then they have continued to make progress. Donald McCullough (project director for The Alameda) said “over the next five to six weeks the site would be changing on a daily basis.” He also said “they were optimistic about pouring the slab for building A in the next two to three weeks.”

As of June 9, 2006 the Alameda sales team has placed 46 units under contract. They believe with construction under way and the summer months ahead, they expect the sales velocity to continue. Clerkly Watkins the architect and the interior designer have provided the sales team with the three color options and the upgrades boards. We are finalizing the pricing on the upgrades and will supply those to our clients when we complete.

We are planning a ground breaking party for the middle of July. The developer, general contractor, architect and the sales team will be attending the party to meet with the buyers and some of the business owners in the area. It is very exciting to see the project enter the ground and will continue to update all of you with the continuing progress.

Regards,

The Alameda Sales Team

Home Sales Rise In NM During The First Quarter

noemail@thealamedacondos.com — Mon, 15 May 2006 22:30:00 GMT

First Quarter State Existing-Home Sales Ease

WASHINGTON (May 15, 2006) – Existing-home sales, including single-family and condo, remained historically high in the first quarter but have experienced a downtrend since hitting a record in the third quarter of last year. Even so, 26 states showed increases in sales activity from a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors^®.

The latest report on total existing-home sales shows that the seasonally adjusted annual rate* was 6.80 million units in the first quarter, down 2.1 percent from the 6.94 million-unit level in the first quarter of 2005.

The biggest increase was in New Mexico, where existing-home sales rose 26.2 percent from the first quarter of 2005. Louisiana’s first-quarter resale pace rose 22.9 percent from a year earlier, while Montana experienced the third strongest gain, up 17.5 percent. Six other states recorded double-digit sales increases from a year ago. Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia experienced declines. Complete data for three states was not available.

David Lereah, NAR’s chief economist, said rising interest rates have dampened sales. “A steady rise in mortgage interest rates has slowed home sales in higher cost areas, yet job growth in some moderately priced markets is boosting sales in other areas,” he said. “The net effect is a modest decline in home sales for the nation as a whole, but sales remain historically strong and are providing a solid underlying base for the overall economy.”

View Quarterly Data

According to Freddie Mac, the national average commitment rate on a 30-year conventional fixed-rate mortgage was 6.24 percent in the first quarter, up from 6.22 percent in the fourth quarter; it was 5.76 percent in the first quarter of 2005.

NAR President Thomas M. Stevens from Vienna, Va., said the sales pattern is expected to level out. “We project home sales may soften a little further before picking up in the fourth quarter, but we’re not looking for any significant changes in the market moving forward,” said Stevens, senior vice president of NRT Inc. “This should provide stability in the market so that buyers and sellers will be on a fairly level playing field in most of the country.”

Regionally, the strongest performance was in the South, which reported an increase of 2.3 percent to an existing-home sales pace of 2.71 million units in the first quarter in comparison with a year ago. After Louisiana, the strongest increase in the South was in Mississippi, up 17.3 percent from the first quarter of 2005; resales in North Carolina rose 17.0 percent; Arkansas and Tennessee also posted double-digit sales increases.

In the Midwest, existing-home sales rose 1.1 percent to a 1.56 million-unit annual sales level from the first quarter of 2005. Indiana led the region, up 10.4 percent from a year earlier, followed by Iowa, up 9.0 percent, and Ohio, with an increase of 6.2 percent.

The Northeast recorded an existing-home sales pace of 1.12 million units in the first quarter, down 2.9 percent from a year earlier. Sales activity in Maine rose 4.6 percent from the first quarter of 2005, Rhode Island increased 2.0 percent and New York sales declined 2.2 percent.

In the West, the existing-home sales level of 1.41 million units was 12.4 percent below the first quarter of 2005. After New Mexico and Montana, the best performance the region was in Utah where existing-home sales rose 12.7 percent from a year earlier; Hawaii sales increased 6.3 percent while Alaska rose 5.9 percent.

The National Association of Realtors^®, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing more than 1.2 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

* The seasonally adjusted annual rate for a particular quarter represents what the total number of actual sales for a year would be if the relative sales pace for that quarter was maintained for four consecutive quarters. Total home sales include single family, townhomes, condominiums and co-operative housing. NAR began tracking the state sales series in 1981.

Minor revisions have been made to quarterly seasonally adjusted annual sales rates for 1999 through 2005. Each May, NAR Research incorporates a review of seasonal activity factors and fine-tunes historic data based on the most recent findings. Normally, revisions are for the past three years, but these revisions include some adjustments back to the benchmark year of 1999.

Seasonally adjusted rates are used in reporting quarterly data to factor out seasonal variations in resale activity. For example, sales volume normally is higher in the summer and relatively light in winter, primarily because of differences in the weather and household buying patterns.

South-side condominium project to feature three stories, 145 units

noemail@thealamedacondos.com — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 19:00:00 GMT

On the south side of town, a new condominium project featuring 145 units in a single three-story building will break ground in March with completion expected by May 2007. The Alameda, as the project is called, is on a 9-acre site off Vegas Verdes that is behind the former Yucca Drive-In and next to The Lofts. It is within walking distance of the Plaza Santa Fe, site of an Albertsons, Target and other retail stores and restaurants. The developer is Houston real-estate executive Michael Kaplan through his Kaplan Acquisitions. The 28-year old business has holdings in Texas and Florida and has developed properties in several states. Sales are being handled by Robin Zollinger, Artie Garcia and Warren Sacks of Barker Realty. The Alameda “has already received all its approvals” David Barker said, adding that critical comments from residents of The Lofts “have been addressed.” Barker said Kaplan was encouraged to proceed with the project because of what he perceived as the need for reasonably priced condos in Santa Fe. The one-and-two bedroom units, ranging in size from 645 to 1,275 square feet, will be priced from the low $200,000s to low $300,000s. Garages also will be available for sale. The units feature 10-foot ceilings, kiva fireplaces, stainless steel appliances and more. Among other amenities are a heated swimming pool and a community center with a wine-tasting room. The Alameda also will feature wireless Internet hook-up. The community is expected to be one for active adults and those who want a second home in Santa Fe. Condominium fees will start at $140 per month. Sales agents are taking reservations for the project, and 20 investor units have already been sold, Zollinger said.
