" Tracy:

So much as usual. You know, let's start with Volterra. So for those of you who don't know Volterra, which a lot of people don't Tego even a lot of people in the real estate community, you know, Voltaire is probably a 15 year old community or less it's right next to Kirtland air force base sorta between the air force base and four Hills. So it's at the very South end of Juan Tabo, South of I 40, if you just dead end on one to Beau you'll end up in the Volterra neighborhood in Volterra was it was a major structural problem because there's a huge Arroyo where the land sets and it was basically an inaccessible for many years and a big bridge went in over the Arroyo and made all of that land available for development and a lot of different builders built homes in there.

Tracy:

There's Dr. Horton, Rachel Matthews, Twilight, Pulte, LGI, a variety of builders Stillbroke probably anyway. It's at the very South end of Juan Tabo next to Kirtland air force base. And they are, they are still building new homes there. So it is an opportunity if you're looking for a new construction, give us a call, we can help you source out what's available there from the different builders. What's, what's interesting. So, you know, a lot of people are moving here and they want to be close to the national labs, all of the affiliates to the air force base that Sandia national labs and all the different businesses, because there are a lot of jobs right there and they want to be close. So Voltaire has been a great option and we see quite a bit of movement there from people coming and going for the air force base.

Tracy:

What I know is there's some people who love it because there's a bike trail where you can kind of get without having to go back out to central. You can take a bike trail if you work on base that you can get there to the Gates. I did not know that that's cool. Yeah, I haven't ever seen it, but I've had clients who specifically told me that's how they get to work. So I know you still have to get to a main gate, but they probably go through an Arroyo or something to get over. That way

Tego:

Is the bigger Royal that comes down, you know, between four Hills and this community and like the, the interstate, right. And or central you will. And that's a huge Royal. So there's a bunch of open space over there as well for people to go and explore and walk and do what they want to do.

Tracy:

Yeah. I'm not sure what's allowed there to go versus what people do there, but I do see some you're

Tego:

Going to couch. So I don't, I don't say something, it gets us in trouble. The guys on the radio said, we Well, you know, it's interesting, you say that that $200,000 price point, I was having a conversation with some people from the association today, and we were just talking about one of the big challenges in our real estate market. And there's a lot of different challenges right now, but one of them is the price point affordability, not necessarily overall affordability, but just from a price point standpoint. Right? And I looked as of today, there are 36 homes for sale in the greater Albuquerque area $200,000 and below that are available. And, and honestly, half those are not so hot in not great condition. And so it's, it's interesting that that $200,000 price point is becoming really a endangered species in our market.

Tracy:

It's sort of that purple unicorn. So once we go above that two Oh five, the next price is two 60 and there's a couple of them, and those are actually attached townhomes, not single family. The two Oh five is a single family home and it's priced that way because it's 1100 square feet, 1,135. However, I'm sure it'll sell for more. If you're interested, give us a call right away, four, four eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, and we can get you in to see it. They will be allowing showings this weekend and I'm, I'm sure it'll
