A remarkable combination of cosmopolitan, artsy, and outdoorsy elements, Taos, New Mexico is a city with its own unique feel. Most of the time, the glorious Sangre de Cristo Mountains can be seen resting against deep blue skies. These mountains are more than just a scenic background, however; they are home to a number of Taos Ski Valley real estate options. Here, visitors and residents both have the opportunity to live where they play.
Recreational opportunities in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and surrounding area range from backpacking and fishing during the summer months to the world-class Taos Ski Valley Resort, featuring some of the region's best skiing and winter sports during the colder months of the year. Both of these beautiful Taos seasons attract visitors and potential residents alike from around the world.
If you are one of those people who has been captured by the beauty of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, for either the short or long term, there is no time like the present when it comes to looking for Taos Ski Valley real estate. Because winter is the prime season in this area, and people typically find themselves captivated by the beauty, property sellers often list homes at this time of year. With today's bad housing economy, the competition for buyers is fierce, so as a prospective buyer, you might very well be in a great position to wheel and deal - and walk away with a great purchase.
Though the median income in Taos is quite a bit higher than most of the country, which has led to higher property prices in the past, some diligent research will reveal that there is housing in this resort area that is surprisingly reasonable. The housing collapse and the resulting foreclosures have allowed for great bargains in Taos and the surrounding communities. Unlike years past, you can actually find Taos condos and houses here from as low as $100,000 for a small but lovely one-bedroom condo, to properties at $1 million and up. Amenities for these properties, of course, run the gamut as well, but rest assured that those featured in homes at the higher end of the spectrum rival what you would find in resort homes anywhere in the world.
One need not be a major investor to buy a "ski-out" condominium and use it as an investment property when not making use of it themselves. Often, people defray the costs of purchasing a vacation home by renting it out when not in use. If you love to ski and have longed for either a permanent home or a vacation getaway in the mountains, Taos is a great place to look, and the time to look is now.
