❤❤❤ I am looking to relocate next spring to Santa Fe.
Thank you for all this amazing information as well as quality videos!
New Mexico 🇲🇽
You’re welcome!!!! Thanks for watching.🥰
Benji and I would love to meet you next time you visit. Just let us know when you plan your next trip. 😁
It sounds like my type of city! I'll definitely keep you in mind.
I've lived in New Mexico for almost ten years, and actually live at the southern end of Santa Fe County. I just want to compliment you guys on an *amazingly* well-balanced and *very* professional production with this video. I only get to (the town of) Santa Fe once or twice a year, but I think you've summed it up well. My wife and I both enjoy Santa Fe greatly, and if we were to choose to live in a city instead of the countryside, it would be at the top of our list.
Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know. People would be shocked at how much time and energy go into our videos. It’s good to hear feedback that people are seeing it.
Everyone has their own perspective on Santa Fe, but we’re doing our best to share ours. :)
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful. I have to decide if I'm going to move there for work or stay in New Orleans. So many things appeal to me, but I really don't want to deal with winters ever again, and I am all about the nightlife. We have 24/7 bars and clubs here, so that would be a huge adjustment. I look forward to visiting next month to test the "gut reaction."
*Also curious about the potential for water shortages.
**Not really concerned about crime, because honestly it can't get worse than New Orleans. You just learn to live with the constant threat of carjackings or getting jumped or held at gunpoint. It's one of the things I would NOT miss.
I’ve visited New Orleans several times over the years, it’s one of my favorite cities. It’s similar to Santa Fe in a lot of ways. With the many cultures that influenced the city over time, with all its rich history, with its historic look and feel. With the amazing food! And the world class music!
Santa Fe shares so many elements with New Orleans, but it DOES NOT match the night life. Not even close.
Santa Fe does have a cool bar scene, live music, amazing food… but most everything shuts down early. We don’t have a Bourbon Street and we don’t have a stay up all night scene.
Santa Fe nightlife would definitely take some getting used to coming from New Orleans.
Santa Fe ❤
I'm sold - count me in.
Haha! That’s great! Well when you’re ready to start looking around, be sure to reach out to us. We’ll be expecting you!
I looked at some beautiful homes on private acres only to realize they are in a Home Owners Association. The draw for me would be not living too close to neighbors and having some space and freedom. An HOA kind of defeats the purpose for me. Why would you need an HOA when you have an acre or more of private property? Is it for security?
I thought I had responded to your comment, looks like it didn’t go through!!
My understanding of an HOA is really to protect property values for everyone within the HOA. If you have an acre of property with beautiful views, and then your neighbor decides to turn his acre of land next to you into an RV parking lot, or piles up trash, or builds a fence that messes up the ambiance, or brings in farm animals that you can smell every morning, it ruins your enjoyment of your own property and could hurt your property value.
The idea of an HOA is simple, but the people that run the HOA is really what makes it run well or make it a nightmare for people living within the rules.
And then there are some humans that just don’t want to be told what to do! I mean sometimes when I’m driving around town, I’ll get bugged about a stop sign telling me to stop! Don’t tell me what to do sign!
Seriously though, if you’re the type that just wants the freedom to do whatever you want with your property, you’re better off looking for land/property in Santa Fe County without an HOA. But keep in mind that your neighbors ALSO might be buying for the same reason, no rules, it’s a free for all! Pros and cons.
Santa Fe is even worst, lol. Thanks for responding and your insight. We decided on Eugene Oregon instead of NM. I’m ok with HOAs if it comes with pools, spas, lawn up keep, or gated communities, etc.. But HOAs with fees that seem to provide no service at all (aside from common rules) is less appealing
Great video.
Good stuff
Great video fellas...but one "pro" you didn't mention...Santa Fe Fuego Baseball at Historic Fort Marcy Ballpark! A beautiul setting for the great game of baseball. Santa Fe's only professional team. Opening Day is June 1st! You are both cordially invited to attend. Sincerely, Bill The Fuego Manager.
Bill, how could we have forgotten the Santa Fe Fuego! Our apologies, looking forward to the season. Thanks for the invite!
@@Livinginsantafe No worries. Keep up the great work and see you guys at the ballpark!
How’s the water situation? Would an investment be worth it with an uncertain future?
Excellent video 👍 I will be in touch 🙏🏽
Todd, thanks for watching. Let us know how we can be of service.
Great video, thanks for the tips!
Thanks for stopping by Nick! Let us know if there is anything else you'd like us to cover in future videos.
@@Livinginsantafe Actually, maybe if you could recommend some resources/tips for finding short and long term rentals in Santa Fe?
Any water shortage? Also any new builders you guys are familiar with?
Its absolutely amazing to visit. I couldn't imagine living there though. I get bored after 2 weeks. I'd stay no longer than 1 month at a time! .... food is okay
Where are you from? I'm afraid of getting bored too, especially with the lack of nightlife. I'm used to Chicago and New Orleans! The food looks great to me (I actually don't like most of the food here in New Orleans).
@@Nightmarigny I’m from New Orleans 😂
Me and my husband are moving to Santa Fe (he's there already, I'm following after our home is sold). We are in an apartment for a little while until next April. I dread how hard its going to be finding a house.
Congrats on making the move!
Benjamin and I are working on releasing an new video explaining how the market is starting to soften up, a little bit.
Not a drastic change, prices are NOT falling, but there’s less offers on homes right now and buyers are starting to have a chance. It’s been a crazy competitive market, and all the buyers were having to throw everything they had to chase a house.
But your timing buying next April could work out really well. Let’s see what the market does.
Thanks for watching and let us know if we can be of any assistance.
@@Livinginsantafe Thank you! Good to know there's a glimmer of possible hope. lol
I have heard they also have bad drug and crime issue, yes thats everywhere but to the extreme in SF. Its so beautiful and interesting place.
It’s all in the eye of the beholder I suppose.
Looking at the crime charts online where they track crime per capita, Santa Fe is still looking much safer than the bigger cities.
Ultimately if crime is a concern, people are probably better off living in some remote location where there are not many people.
The way I came across this video is because my band and I just produced a song a few weeks ago called "Santa Fe, New Mexico", that has nothing to do with Santa Fe, other than the fact that it's a good place for lying low. I don't know if it is, though, but it certainly seems like a really cool place to come visit and hang out. BTW Please check out our song if you can. Just go the sleeping tiger icon and it will bring you right to it. We're a new band in Chicago, all our stuff is original, but this new version of this Santa Fe song may be my personal favorite.
Great video! Professional and informative!
Thank you!
Lack of nightlife is a PRO for me! 😂
Same with me!
Hows lgbt scene in Santa Fe?
Hows tolerance towards them?
I want to move to New Mexico so badly. I love California but I want something new within the next 7 years.
When the time is right and everything comes into alignment, you’ll make it happen someday!
Great video guys. I'm a property manager in Michigan. I'm thinking about selling my home and moving to Santa FE. I'd like to contact some rental properties in that area to see if they are looking for a manager. Any suggestions? Thanks! Mark
It's 505 o'clock somewhere.
Yes it is!!
i like santa fe but not too impressed by the restaurants--i think i can cook better than most
cant forget legalization
It’s gonna be interesting to see how that reshapes things. It was a huge deal when Colorado went first with it. When New Mexico went live, feels like it’s just business like usual.
It’s making a big impact to the tax base, that’s for sure.
A good vid mates and you create a positive vibe for Santa Fe, perhaps too good because you neglected, understandable if intentional, two of the biggest turn offs about the place, to wit: high crime and snobbery. Santa Fe is notorious for both of these little, erm, hiccups - although to be fair the snobbery one encounters in Taos is far, far worse. On the surface it seems quite natural to not mention such things, after all you're singing its praises not airing its dirty laundry. But if such things are continually ignored then its promoters (your good selves) run the risk of becoming irrelevant if not ignored. Most, if not all, places in this wonderful country have their downsides, but too much pollen and not enough hangouts for teenagers/young people is just stretching the optimism a little too much. I apologize if I'm coming across as a finger-wagging naysayer, Santa Fe is indeed wonderful and you've done an otherwise great job with this presentation. Cheers!
Hey there, thanks for the comment. I could see how not discussing crime in our video as a con could be seen as a strategic oversight on our part - Santa Fe being our home town and all. But truth is, crime is a topic that Realtors are not allowed to discuss because of fair housing laws that were put in place to protect people against discrimination.
But talking in generalities and using data from websites like BestPlaces.net, you can compare and contrast crime rates from city to city. According to that website on the whole, Santa Fe doesn't stand out as a crime ridden city when comparing to places like Albuquerque, St. Louis, Detroit or Chicago. Looking at the data, Santa Fe is sitting around the averages for all cities across the country.
As the population has increased over the years, we definitely have seen more stories about crime in the news, but that's happening everywhere.
With regard to snobbery, that's always going to be in the eye of the beholder. I've met some amazing people in Santa Fe over the years, both life long residents and people relocating and making Santa Fe their home. And on the other hand, I've run into some jerks! But I can almost guarantee if I go to one of my favorite restaurants and sit at the community table or at the bar, I'm going to strike up 2-3 great conversations with people I've never met before and leave feeling like I just made some new friends. Snobs will be snobs, I just avoid them and connect with the friendly folks.
We appreciate your feedback. We're just wrapping up the first wave of allergy season and the people allergic to juniper would disagree with you that pollen isn't a serious consideration! People walking around for almost a month with eyes nearly swollen shut! lol!
@@paulo7200I’m sure Realtors do it all the time. It’s all fun and games until we get sued for discrimination. Whether it’s right or wrong, I was taught to allow buyers to do their own due diligence when it comes demographics of who’s living in a neighborhood, crime rates and other topics that could be interpreted as steering people into or away from certain areas / neighborhoods.
Even though this information is public, the Fair Housing Act DOES actually prohibit us from talking about things that could be interpreted as references to race. It could be a grey area, you could walk the line. But why put your license in jeopardy when there’s plenty of public information available for people to make a decision?
If your afraid of getting sued for speaking truth, then you just committed a grave disservice in your video. Being disingenuous for the sake of being politically correct motivates me to seek other videos that will actually show the true nature of Santa Fe.
Having said that, I don't want to bash you, just saying.
I don’t think you understand. Realtors CANNOT talk about certain things. We can lose our real estate license and in some cases even serve jail time. We have to abide by fair housing laws. This has nothing to do with being politically correct.
I’m sure there are plenty of other Realtors or content creators that will break the rules, but we’re not those guys.
Appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
I get it
My in-laws like to go to Arizona to vacation but that state is full of crazy people... which got me thinking. What about New Mexico? And now I'm down a rabbit hole watching tour videos and looking at AirBnBs.
Unfortunately, the last time I was in New Mexico, I was with a broadway show and squandered what little free time I had getting drunk and stupid. Youth is wasted on the young.
Haha! But did you have fun though?? Was it worth it?
There are crazy people everywhere you go unfortunately. We have our fair share.
But after you’re here for awhile you’ll learn the places that you feel most comfortable in and places you’ll avoid. Everyone’s different, there’s something for everyone.
COST OF HOUSING IS WAY WAY OVER PRICED VISIT SANTA FE DO NOT MOVE TO SANTA FE YOU WILL REGRET IT IT BECOMES VERY BORING THERE AFTER A SHORT TIME
Lived in Santa Fe five years. Expensive. Rude, phone-distracted drivers. Climate dries out nasal passages to bleeding point. Culturally imbalanced (Spanish conquerors obscenely glorified). Tourist infested. Noisy (traffic racket from I-25 as well as surface streets). Local outdoor venues too crowded and trashed up. Hordes of pushy panhandlers. High property taxes. City government inept and fiscally irresponsible (e.g. the infamous business process management Technology Upgrade project which failed to the tune of >$7M taxpayer dollars).
Santa Fe definitely isn’t for everyone. It’ll either make you fall in love and wanting to stay forever or it’ll chew you up and spit you out.
Most of these issues are happening in every city across the country. More people, more noise, more homeless people going through financial hardships, higher crime rates, tough local political scenes dealing with the ever changing landscape.
Santa Fe isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty good.
What city did you move to that solved most of these issues for you?
@@Livinginsantafe None. Santa Fe broke me of the city habit after it failed to meet expectations. Started my own business and moved from there more than fifteen years ago across the mountains to wilderness property abutting national forestland and will be living here to my final breath. Cities are just too toxic in too many ways to waste anymore time living in any of them. I don’t bother going into Santa Fe anymore. Nothing there of enough interest or value worth making the 200 mile round trip, especially since the pandemic started. Best to keep a safe distance.
@@fluxfaze that doesn’t sound half bad actually! Peace and quiet away from the drama humans can cause. Good for you making that move! We all gotta do what we gotta do.
One of these days I’m going to buy some land and build a cabin with a stream to do some fishing and just relax out in the country. Nothing better than spending some time out in nature.
Tel us how you really feel.....LOL!!!!
when you say climate dries out nasal passages, does that happen more so in the summer or winter or throughout the year for you.
