Olivia Wilde says “thanks” to Santa Fe

September 13, 2010 By

Olivia Wilde, who plays Dr. Hadley in House, was recently in Santa Fe filming Cowboys and Aliens.  She’s written a nice “thank you” to the city, mentioning her favorite spots – BODY, Downtown Subscriptions, Garcia St Books, Teahouse, Pasquales…..

Each morning I rode my bike through gorgeous tree-lined Garcia street to reach my coffee mecca, and after fueling up, wandered 10 feet next door to the greatest bookstore in Santa Fe, Garcia St Books. I have never left this bookstore empty-handed, which is why I am shipping home several boxes of books tomorrow so as not to unfairly weigh down the airplane. The owners, one of whom is pictured above, have impeccable taste, and offer a fantastic range of options. Whether you’re in need of Bukowski or Hergé, a Renaissance gardening book, or the latest Hitchens, it’s all laid out in irresistible, glossy piles for your splurging pleasure. I wish I could pack this bookstore in my bag and bring it back to Venice, CA, where we are desperately in need of a great, independently owned bookstore.

Santa Fe Foreclosures surge – Santa Fe New Mexican

July 30, 2010 By

Good story in the Santa Fe New Mexican about the continued growth in real estate foreclosures.  I was quoted in this article and in a radio story on KSFR, my opinion being it’s not over yet, and we have more foreclosures to come in Santa Fe County before we start seeing daylight.

Frank O’Mahony, who opened up his Evolve Real Estate Santa Fe last year — the worst in at least a decade for home sales here — has done an analysis of the market on his website. He sees inventory rising whenever sales percolate.

“There is a huge overhang of people holding back, waiting to put their homes on the market,” he said.

Compounds – not just for the Godfather any more!

July 30, 2010 By

Here in Santa Fe I’ve noticed more clients asking – and more agents marketing – for Santa Fe properties that could be described as Compounds.  I guess it’s the cocoon effect - the desire to retreat to a safe, comfortable place surrounded by familiar things and faces.  These clients are asking about homes that are “flexible” or “configurable” – reminds me of when people started asking for home-office space.  But in this case it’s extra bedrooms/bathrooms, preferably with a separate entrance.  In some cases it’s to allow the owner to generate some rental income, but more and more it’s to accomodate another family member – one they want close, but not that close!

I have a wonderful Santa Fe home for sale in the Museum Hill district, which is about 10 minutes from downtown.  The home has a guesthouse, a studio and a main house – all three could be separate or integrated, and that’s what people seem to like about the place.   I had one son & mother very interested in the property and their plan was for the son to live in the guesthouse, the mother in the main house and the studio for guests and a meditation space.

Another Santa Fe home for sale is in the exclusive East Side and it’s really a compound too, with a main house, guesthouse, chapel (!) and a number of outbuildings.

Room for Grandma, space for the kids or grandkids (both of these properties are in great santa fe school districts), space to stretch, indulge in hobbies, arts & crafts….
Is the Compound the next thing?
