A ‘Land Fair’ for potential buyers
By Paul Weideman
If you’ve been thinking about buying a homesite in Santa
Fe, there’s an event happening on Sunday, June 12, that you
may want to attend.
The Las Campanas Clubhouse is the venue for the
Northwest Land Fair, scheduled from 3 to 4:30 p.m.
and sponsored by Santa Fe Properties (SFP). The firm’s
marketing director, Candy Brenton, said, “I believe it
will be of great interest to anyone who has considered
building a custom home but is unsure, particularly in this
market. After this event they should have a very clear
idea of what is involved, the options available, pros and
cons, what financing offerings and obstacles there are, and
how incredible the land values currently are compared to
historic prices.”
A few of the discussion points:
• Premier local builders discuss aspects of purchasing
land and custom building;
• Discussion of current vs. historic valuations of home
sites;
• Northwest Corridor real-estate market overview; and
• Financing discussion on lot sales and construction
