The focus of the spotlight Sunset Magazine shines on Taos, is the designation of Taos as the Best Place to Own a Vacation Home.
"Regardless of what brings a person to Taos -- art, snow play, its ethereal spirit -- those who fall for the town tend to fall hard. It's this enduring appeal coupled with a limited housing supply that make for about as safe a second-home bet as you'll find."We say, "Well said!"
When we first drove up to Taos all those years ago, we hadn't even made it into the Plaza before we knew -- or at least strongly felt -- that this was going to be our home some day. It's that kind of place, really.
The dip in the housing market here, from our perspective, was a much about the national credit crisis than about any bubble. Taos' economic cycles have rarely mirrored those of the nation. With strong anti-growth forces in control of both the City and County governments for decades, Taos has never experienced what one might call a housing boom -- certainly nothing like what we've seen elsewhere throughout the Southwest.
Recent comments by the young, smart Mayor of Taos, Darren Cordova, appear to indicate a shift toward promoting some controlled growth. He represents a new generation of Taosenos who recognize that as the natural cycle of business plays out, people retire, businesses close, and new businesses must be allowed to replace them.
For those thinking of coming to Taos to shop for a Vacation Home, we'll welcome you at La Posada de Taos. Because we're right in the center of town, we routinely host folks who are looking to buy property in Taos. On several occasions during the past year or so, our guests have fallen hard for Taos, bought property, and moved here. Really!
Come pay us a visit, we'll show you why we think that this is a really special place.
