Welcome to Eldorado!

by Lisa Smith on April 23, 2009

Eldorado is truly a unique community which offers something for everyone:  hiking trails, biking, swimming, tennis, basketball, stables, soccer fields, dog park, children’s parks, a 4,000 acre nature preserve and more.

It’s just 20 minutes to the heart of Santa Fe and the art, culture and history our beautiful city offers as well as excellent year-round climate, gorgeous views, clean air and a variety of recreational activities.

There are 2,600 homes on 8,000 acres with about 6,000 residents. Singles, families, artists, couples, sports enthusiasts, writers, historians, – you won’t meet a boring person – believe me!  Residents have moved here to escape big cities, raise their families in a peaceful atmosphere or just enjoy the beauty and privacy.

The homes are primarily pueblo style with a few Northern New Mexico (pitched metal roof) style mixed in.

The Agora shopping center has restaurants, shops and mail services as well as a beautiful landscaped courtyard.  Meet your neighbors on the patio at Copa de Oro.

Dues are an extremely low $300 a year and the county maintains the roads.  Eldorado also has the top ranked Volunteer Fire Department in the state. Click on covenants for an explanation of the sensible rules and regulations.  There are lots of photos to enjoy too.

I would not live anywhere else!  Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this wonderful community.

Eldorado 2011 Real Estate Report

by Lisa Smith on January 8, 2012

Below is the year-end real estate report for Eldorado. Activity remains steady, particularly for this time of year.
 
 - 47 active listings which is about half of what it was in August. What is interesting is that pendings and solds are still strong with 10 each.
 
 - $168 was the average price per square foot for December, but remember it depends on the size of the house, the larger the house, the lower the price per square foot.

 -153 were the average days on the market. Sellers continue to price properties more aggressively and they are getting them sold more quickly. About 100 days less than last January.
 
95% is the sales price vs. listing price for December . This has ranged from 94% – 96% for the last 3 years.

 - 368K is the average listing price for December, a little less than November.
 - 313K is the average sales price, which is down, but it means less expensive houses sold.

 4.7 months of inventory which means the length of time it would take to sell all the homes listed at the current rate of sales. In February of this year is was 32 months!! Eight months is a healthy neighborhood, so Eldorado remains an in-demand neighborhood.
