Remodels good for window businessy Paul Weideman
C
asement windows have changed a
lot over the years. Marvin makes
casements up to three feet wide
d eight feet tall, and the crank operationamazingly easy.
At Marvin Design Gallery in Santa Fe,
u can also see casement models that push
t and lock rather than cranking. There
e awning windows up to six feet square. A
enting picture window” pushes out a little
er two inches for ventilation — a mesh
tem provides screening around the open
ges.
Another innovation is the tilt turn &
pper window; it operates either as an
wing casement or as a hopper (like an
ning window, but it opens at the top
her than the bottom).
“Many people here travel a lot and
ey tend to like the tilt/turns,” said Greg
endrix, general manager of Marvin
sign Gallery in Santa Fe. “It’s a European
le, where the window swings in rather
an out.”
Visitor can see all of these window types
place at the showroom on Bisbee Court
the south end of town. “The showroom
s designed for consumers, so people
n come and see what we have,”Hendrix
said. “It’s also for architects, with this tin-
roofed portal over wood windows, which
shows that that type of window should be
protected from the elements.”
In the center of the showroom is a“casita” designed to exhibit windows
installed in different wall thicknesses, and
various types of sills.
Marvin windows were previously sold
at Pacheco Park and before that were part
of the offering at Brother Sun, a Santa Fe
window company that went defunct last
year.
“We’re an independent dealer,” said Bob
Heller, sales consultant at the Bisbee office.
“As a Marvin Design Gallery, we handle
only Marvin products: all-wood and wood-
clad windows and our Integrity line of
fiberglass windows. We don’t handle other
brands. We do not handle any kind of vinyl
or PVC window.”
Marvin Design Gallery does not do its
own installations, but works with licensed
contractors. “We work with homeowners
and contractors and architects. We provide
a lot of assistance to contractors in terms
of reviewing plans and code compliance,”
he said.
What’s popular these days in Santa Fe?
“The casements for their c ontemporary
styling and how they operate,”Heller
said, “and Marvin’s lines are pretty classic.
Marvin double-hungs are a more classic
style, with thicker rails.
“Marvin has thick cladding and excellent
paint that resists fade and chalking— chalking is when the polymers in paint
oxidize and the material turns whitish.
That’s very important here with the intense
sunlight.”
Heller said modern windows have a low-
E (insulative) coating on the inside of the
panes. Marvin works with the homeowner
or contractor to tune that coating to
optimize performance.
Hendrix added, “We do want to cool
down the west side, then get good solar
gain on the south, while also having a good
U factor [insulation value].”
He said business is doing well, increased
from a year ago. “We’re finally stabilizing
the Marvin name here in Santa Fe,”
Hendrix said.
A bigger chunk of Marvin’s business
today comes from window replacements
in remodels. Another window company
on the other end of town is tailored to
residential remodeling and renovation:
Renewal by Andersen at DeVargas Center.
“The company is over 106 years old,” said
Dawn Davis, showroom manager (and also
a referral agent with Sotheby’s International
Realty). They started Renewal by Andersen
in 1995 to offer replacement windows. It’s
also about sustainability. They don’t cut
new trees for these windows.”
Renewal by Anderson also showsoff its double-hung, sliding, cas ement,
picture, and combination windows in
a specially designed space. “I helped
them open Renewal here, and to design
the showroom,” said Davis, who had an
interior-design business in South Dakota
for 10 years.” The store opened last August.
Renewal windows are 60 percent wood
and 40 percent polymer.
“You’re getting the strength of wood with
the resistance to the elements from the
polymer,” she said. The extruded frames are
dipped into a vat of Fibrex finish, which is
guaranteed not to chip, warp, or fade.
“We also sell Eagle windows, a division
of Andersen. Eagle is our high-end window,
wood on the inside and aluminum on the
outside, and available in 50 colors,”Davis
said. “Usually the problem with aluminum-
clad windows is that they are two different
materials that expand and contract
differently so they’re using extra-thick
aluminum and it locks into the wood.”
Renewal by Anderson works mostly with
homeowners. The company does its own
installations.

Santa Fe gardeners are hot to trot. The traditional first day that you can plant without
worrying about frost is May 15, but that doesn’t mean everyone waits until that date
to get their hands f ull of s oil. In mid-April, Newman’s Nursery only had about 45
geraniums remaining from its first spring group of 1,200 plants.
“Every year people are buying earlier to make sure we have what they want,”Malcolm
Newman said. “We grow as much as we can here, but we can’t just replenish them with a
phone call. It used to be the middle of April and now it’s into March for certain geraniums.”
Three weeks into spring, Newman’s had a selection of pansies and rose plants out front.
In the greenhouse were scads of lobelias, Alyssum, petunias (including some giant plants in
hanging baskets) snapdragons, geraniums, zinnias, and marigolds.
Just in back of the store were some weeping Prunus and Sargent Tina crabapple trees, as
well as many varieties of apples, apricots, peaches, plums and cherries.
“The fruit trees are selling OK,” said the store’s Jeremy Lopez. “We’ve also been doing a lot
of piñon and Austrian pine to replace trees killed by the bark beetles. And more xeric shrubs
like chamisa and Apache plume.”
In a depressed economy, it would make s ense that more gardeners are getting into
perennials to avoid the annual sticker shock of buying annuals. Lopez said that theory also
applies to food plants. “We are seeing increased sales of vegetables with the economy as it is,
and I think we’ve sold more perennials the last few years.”
Tough perennials are always a good idea, especially in the exposed, hot, windy, outlying
areas. Among the best are yarrow, lamb’s ear, coneflowers and Gaillardia.
Lopez said the nursery’s customers want plants that don’t need much watering, but he
warned that “drought-tolerant” doesn’t mean you can just stick transplants in the ground
and expect them to grow. Even plants native to Northern New Mexico— such as chamisa,
mountain mahogany, perky sue and grey s antolina— need to be watered for a year or two
until they’re established.
Malcolm Newman stressed that hanging baskets of lobelias or petunias need close
attention, water-wise, although geraniums are a little more forgiving.“Every year we sell more and more colorful baskets, and it’s a phenomenal year for
pansies,” said Newman, standing in the greenhouse. “If we have a really cold winter like we
did, people are just ready for spring, and I think people are finally deciding to spend a little
more on themselves and their gardens. None of these things are big ticket items, so it’s easy
to come in and get some pansies.
“People aren’t coming in to buy fountains and expensive pots, but geraniums are hot. This
is for patio pots and containers; every year that gets bigger. That whole group we’re standing
in falls into that: the New Guinea impatiens, spreading petunias and Lantanas and sweet
potato vines.”
He said the demand for vegetables and herbs was shifting to more heirloom varieties,
such as the Hillbilly and Russian tomatoes, and expanded taste in herbs. “We have more
than a dozen varieties of basil. Thai basils have been really big. And our eggplant collections
have finally caught on. We have unusual ones, like Turkish orange and Japanese ones and
Chinese blue eggplants.”
The nursery has a good selection of shovels and trowels, gloves, hoses, drip-irrigation
equipment, sprayers, netting to protect fruit and vegetables from birds, and — for those little
burrowers who are so good at messing up your landscape — gopher traps and gopher smoke
bombs and Molemax repellent that’s also effective for gophers. A 10-pound bag of Molemax
is $19. You just spread it on the ground then water so it soaks into the soil. A bag treats
5,000 square feet of landscape.
Another way to improve your garden environment, to transform it into a real backyard
oasis, is to create a bubbling water feature. You can get a good idea of the possibilities with
a visit to Santa Fe Water Gardens on Agua Fria Street. Behind the store are several water
features installed naturalistically, in landscaping, with waterfalls. They include small and

With spring well in bloom and the first
arter well behind us, let’s take a look at
e real-estate numbers as compared to
e first quarter of 2010. While we are notggesting there are reasons to pop the
ampagne, our pragmatic optimism leads
to b elieve that, overall, the numbers
ow a step in the right direction. New
tings were down 20 percent from the first
arter of 2010, and listing inventory fell
14 percent. This is important because
balanced market is all about supply and
mand. The reduction from 20 months to
months for the average listing to sell is
ll a strong buyer’s market and historical
tivity suggests that the bulk of new
ventory will enter the market now, so we
all see what the summer brings.
Pending sales were down 12 percent, but
do not feel this is reason to worry. Last
ar the market was overly inflated by the
omebuyer Tax Credit, which gave us a
uch-needed boost from the previous year.
terestingly, the average sa les price rose
gnificantly to $502,145 from $422,774
om the same quarter last year. This is
e to the rise in sales for the luxury home
arket. A better indicator would be the
median sales price, which was still up over
1 percent from the previous quarter, to
$329,000.
Certain areas fared better than others.Las Campanas and the northwest
quadrant both saw significant increases
in closed sales. Activity in Las Campanas
nearly doubled for the f irst quarter, and
the subdivision has seen a reduction in
inventory to roughly 35 months. Median
sales price is still falling, now at an even
$1 million. The surrounding areas in the
northwest enjoyed a 62 percent increase
in closed sales, which aided the median
price: a climb f rom $607,000 to $690,000.
Inventory levels here are now fluctuating at
12 months.
Southeast city limits and the southeast
county areas of Old Santa Fe Trail also saw
big gains in percentage of closed sales and
reductions in inventory. For the city areas,
those gains may be due to the 10 percent
decline is sales price from $484,000 to
$435,000. In the northeast city limits, there
was a small change in closed sales, down
25 percent, but also a 27 percent decline in
new listings. While those numbers offset
the other, the median sales price rose 8
percent, to $548,700. Northwest city limits
saw a huge decline is selling price, down
from $360,000 for same quarter 2010 to
$239,000 in 2011.Eldorado and the homes in the area
of Highway 285 both saw significant
decreases in their area markets. Eldorado
is down 40 percent in closed sales, while
the median price point is up 7 percent to
$342,000. Highway 285 is down 62 percent
in closed sales but also in new listings, so
the inventory here is down to 15 months
- a huge improvement from the 23 months
from the prior year. Median sales price here
has also plummeted to a low of $366,000.
The southwest city limits and southwest
county are still struggling with decreases in
closed sales and selling prices. We believe
these areas are suffering from distressed
sales and foreclosures that will continue to
strain traditional sellers. For the most part,
the inventory levels did fall slightly with the
exception of the Airport Road areas. It may
yet be a while before these markets return
to normalcy.
In short, what the numbers tell us is that
now is the new normal. Essentially, prices
have reset to 2003 but overall buyer ac tivity
continues to pick up. Homes that are priced
for today’s market are selling. Throw out
those old appraisals and any idea about
what your house was worth two years ago.
Even what it cost to build does not matter
in this new market. If you must sell, call a
professional Realtor to price it for today and chances are good that it will sell in the
coming tomorrows.

articles and tutorials. See paynes.com, highcountrygardens.com (Santa Fe Greenhouses’
website), and plantsofthesouthwest.com.
Payne’s offers spring gardening classes. One that was listed on the business’ website
at press time is on Saturday, May 7, when garden writer Rand Lee presents “Grandma’s
Garden: Old-fashion Flowers, Herbs & Edibles.”He will show “a rainbow of heirloom
annuals, perennials, herbs, fruits, and vegetables that can be combined to make a Santa Fe
cottage garden or potager.” The event takes place at Payne’s South, 715 St. Michael’s Drive,
starting at 11 a.m.
The master gardeners are great resources to answer your questions. Cal l the Santa Fe
Master Gardener Association at 471-6251 or visit the organization’s website, sfmga.org, for

Book urges ‘new way to think about wateBy Paul Weideman
Nate Downey has been busy with booksignings and
speaking engagements on the heels of publication
of his book Harvest the Rain: How to Enrich Your Life by
Seeing Every Storm as a Resource.Downey, who has penned the “Permaculture in Practice”
column in this magazine for 12 years, is president of Santa
Fe Permaculture Inc., which he founded in 1997.
Harvest the Rain is not only about greener landscapes but
a greener planet. That, he writes in the last chapter, “has
to start with something as specific and basic as you and
your water. How else would we ever be able to jumpstart
a shift in consciousness except through something that
we all need regularly and something that we can all easily
manipulate?
“With so much else to do, keep in mind that I am not
asking you to change your life drastically overnight. I am
asking you to start to think about precipitation and water
use in a new way.”
The book’schapters are divided
into sections with
titles including “You
can enjoy life,” “Dam
Your Runoff,” “Break
the Wind,” “Embrace
Community ” and
“Teach Kids.”
Harvest the Rain
features drawings by
George Lawrence.
The first one in the
book illustrates the
fact that in a 1-inch rainfall event, runoff from a 1,000-
square-foot roof (the size of a quite small house) yields 650
gallons of water that can be captured, stored, and used for
irrigation.
Downey’s favorite method of utilizing that roofwater
is the pumice wick — although he’s planning to use a
recycled-glass product instead of pumice in the near future.
“With a pumice wick, you get the most bang for your
buck,” he said. “It requires very little maintenance and
you don’t get evaporation as you get with a swale. This is
just a trench filled with pumice and a perforated pipe that
takes water from below your canales and conveys it to the
root systems of your plants. I cover the trench with a thick
layer of newspaper, then soil on top of that. By the time the
newspaper has disintegrated, there’s a solid stratum of soil
on top that won’t fall in and clog the pumice. And you’re
recycling newspaper.”
The wick holds and slowly releases water. Plantings
established on either side of it have a real edge over those in
other parts of your landscape.
A more common, but much more expensive, technology
for using roofwater is the cistern. Basically big tanks, they
can be above ground or underground. Depending on
their location relative to your plants, gravity flow might be
adequate for watering plants.
“If the lay of the land is right and you’re going to use
a hose, gravity works,”Downey said. “If you want to use
drip irrigation, you need more pressure, although you c an
experiment with using large emitters or just poke holes
in drip tubing instead of using emitters. But most of my
clients use pumps.”
To water their plants at home, Downey and his wife,
Melissa McDonald, pump rainwater stored underground
in five, interconnected 2,000-gallon tanks. McDonald is the
member of longest standing on the City of Santa Fe Water
Conservation Committee and serves as its vice chair.
A section of Downey and McDonald’s back yard near
the house is “turfed” with Synlawn. Nearby
are several healthy golden currant plants in
a bed with sorrel, mint and chives. A young
Rio Grande cottonwood tree is nourished by
greywater piped from the house to t he tree’s
roots.
Another area has lovage, tarragon and
fennel planted along with roses, lavender
and mugo pines. Lettuce flourishes in a cold
frame. Carrots, cabbage and basil grow in a
hoop house covered with landscaping fabric.
Downey wants honeybees to be part of
what he calls “the backyard institute.” The
couple also has chickens and rabbits.
And how’s business?
“It used to be that 50 percent of what
we did was for new construction but since
that has kind of dried up, it’s more edible
landscaping,”Downey said. “When I began Santa
Permaculture, I wanted it to be all edible landscap
that’s OK.”
------------------
Downey gives an evening talk and presents a da
workshop as part of the Carbon Economy Series (
4434) in Santa Fe on July 22-23. The Downey-Mc
yard is one of five properties open during the July
Kitchen Garden & Coop Tour (473-1403) sponso
Edible Santa Fe and Homegrown New Mexico. D
also speaks on Aug. 6 as part of the annual meetin
Native Plant Society of New Mexico (473-6465).

Building permitsSANTA FE COUNTY build-
ing permits issued from mid-
March to mid-April included
the following:
Building permits issued by the
CITY OF SANTA FE during
the month of March included
the following:
Condominium projects offer some of
our city’s best home locations. Condos
near the Santa Fe Plaza and within
walking distance to downtown areattractively priced in 2011.
Buyers shopping for condos will find
that these loan approvals are trickier
than a single-family residence. Condo
purchasers must begin the financing
process earlier than normal with a
mortgage broker who is experienced in
this special area. Requirements for condo
financing can be more rigorous.
Lenders require the condo declaration
to be filed and the homeowners
association to be fully set up. The condo
declaration determines the operating
rules for the association. This document
must be filed prior to closing so that the
title company has the proof necessary to proceed toward finalization of the
purchase. Officers of the homeowners
association must be named and available
to complete specific questionnaires
required by lenders.
As a condo buyer, don’t assume the
documentation is correct. You shouldreview the documents, the budget and
definitely the condo insurance polic y.
The percentage of owner-occupied
condo units compared to the number of
investment units in a project is a concern
to lenders. There are definite rules lenders
are required to follow when looking at
this overall comparison. Some will not
make a loan on condo units if the project
has too many investment units— usually
more than 50 percent.
Another significant factor to consider
is the percentage of ownership a single
owner can carry in one project. Ten
percent is the norm, but again, the lender
can advise the purchaser as to what will orwill not fly in a specific project. Time has
proven that every condo deal is different
in one way or another. This is where it
becomes important to work with a lender
who has the experience to deal with the
various ins and outs.
Small condo projects are much easierto finance. Financing for a condo project
comprising six units or less has different
rules and in some cases treat the condo
unit similar to a free-standing home.
This can be the least complicated condo
financing for a purchaser.
Finally, financing a unit in a project
still under construction can be difficult
to impossible. Lenders may feel that to
do so impedes their position of strength
in securing that all requirements will be
met without changes as the project is
completed.
Jill McIntosh of S othebys International
Realty says that “high-end condos are
available at great values. The financing ismore involved, but definitely doable.”
Just know that Fannie Mae has created
inflexible financing requirements for
condos. All the paperwork, require
and qualifications must b e in order
Knowledge of these factors is the k
making it happen.

As the La Niña phenomenon continues
to dominate the weather patterns over
Northern New Mexico and we read
about significantly lower water levels incity reservoirs and decreased flow rates
in the River Grande, and we start to
come to grips with the reality that this
weather pattern also adversely affects
the recharge of our local aquifers, more
of us are turning our attention to water
conservation.
These and other considerations
(mostly economic) cause residents to
investigate water-conserving ways to treat
their water. Sometimes these alternative
systems do work, but my experience is
that their performance is not predictable.
If you can find something that might
work, and it is priced at a throw-away
price point, then it might be worth a try.
If it works, you got lucky; if it does not
work, then you can buy a system that does
work for you (and for which the results
can be measured) and your experiment
was a risk management phase in your
buying process. We are currently testing
a catalytic system under our New Mexico
Small Business Assistance project.
Our experience is that customers liketo see demonstrable proof that something
is working. We have carried anti-scalant
systems, which reconfigure (but do
not remove) hardness minerals. Again,
sometimes they work very well and
sometimes they fail. The fundamental
problem is that hardness measures the
same before and after the treatment. We
do not actively market these systems to
new customers, but customers who have
had them and experienced success will
invariably want the media replaced when
it is exhausted.
Inability to predict performance is a
major problem for the water-purification
model of starting with the incoming water
chemistry and using testing to prove that
the recommended system works. In that
regard, conventional water conditioning
by ion exchange is hard to beat in
verifiability. And, b elieve it or not, there
is such a thing as a “greener” softener,
although using either potassium chloride
or sodium chloride is unavoidable.
Our entire senior staff attendedthe recent Water Quality Association
meetings in San Antonio as part of
our ongoing quest for “greener” water
conserving products. We heard a lot of
claims but we saw little documentation.
The most encouraging new development
we saw is “water on water” reverse
osmosis technology, which decreases RO
filtration time and reduces water use. We
are currently bench-testing one of the
systems. RO membranes filter to 0.0001
micrometers (microns - one micron is
one-millionth of a meter).
Our current focus is on nanofiltration
membrane technology with filtering to
0.001 microns and capabilities for whole-
house, on-demand systems, with very
measurable results (comparable to RO)
and much lower water consumption. It
is not surprising that this technology
comes at a high price. FYI, the (tubular)
membrane filtration at the new Buckman
Direct Diversion (BDD) system is 0.1
microns. Water purification is a tradeoff
among several factors. You get to decide
whether BDD water filtration is sufficient
for you, but the water is EPA-compliant
and we should all be thankful for the
timing of its startup.

Do you remember when Facebook wasthe place to connect with people from
only your high school or college days?
With over 650 million users, Facebook
is now all about connecting the web and
individual users by p ersonal relationships
and preferences with the nearly
ubiquitous “Like” button.
These buttons are popping up on Santa
Fe websites, including those of artists,
restaurants, galleries, motels and hotels,
tourist attractions, real-estate companies,
and nonprofit organizations, for
upcoming events and local businesses of
all sizes, products and services. Facebook
is now as hot for Santa Fe businesses and
entrepreneurs as our New Mexico red
chile.
If you are still wondering where to
start, you are not alone. If you are “on”
Facebook and not sure what being
there means, you are like many other
users. Here are some basic steps to get
you started and to build your Facebook
presence.
You need an account on Facebook tohave a business or organization page. If
you do not already have an account, go
to http://facebook.com and register for
a free user page. You will b e allowed one
account in your name. Your next choice
will be how you use your personal profile.
You can connect only with friends and
family members you already know or you
can connect your friends and family with
your professional, company or business
worlds.
You can control your privacy. Review
your privacy settings and select who is
allowed to see what on your Facebook
user page. Many users choose to hide
their date of birth or other personal
information for security. Anytime you
update your profile, Facebook will send a
note to your Friends.
Complete your profile with a current
bio and contact information. Tell about
yourself or what is important to you, then
add your photo. If the picture is more
than five years old, it is time look in the
mirror. Use a photo people wil l recognizeas you and crop it for your face. Select
your relationship status. Facebook does
give you a range of choices including
“blank ” response. You can select a privacy
setting for these features. Next, you can
add favorite books, music, movies and
more.
Now you can create your Facebook
business page. In the past, people would
become fans. Now they join your business
page by clicking on the Like button.
Unlike the limit of 5,000 friends for your
Facebook user page, your business page
can have an unlimited number of fans
or viewers who Like your page. Unlike
Facebook user pages, all Facebook
business pages are public. Anyone can
find you and see your page whether they
are a Facebook user or not.
Think about how you want to promote
your business or organization or event.
Put on your marketing hat and take the
time to study and research other business
pages. Focus on objectives, develop a
strategy, and discover a bottom-line
advantage of how a free business page lets
you communicate and interact with your
customers and clients. Your Facebook
business page is your online business cardand your storefront. See you next online.

Santa Fe offers a wonderful climate
for enjoying the outdoors. Creating an
outdoor space that is comfortable and
beautiful is essential. As in any room,creating a focal point is a fundamental
component of the design. A water feature
or a fireplace is a great opportunity for
such a focal point. Comfortable outdoor
furniture is a must for enjoying lounging
or dining outdoors with family and
friends.
Considering the landscape and how it
relates to the comfort and beauty of the
outdoor space is important as well. A
Santa Fe architect recently told me that
his most beautiful outdoor space was
rarely used because a large juniper tree
was just too close to the deck. Consider
the placement of all plantings so that you
are able to utilize your outdoor spacescomfortably.
Landscape architect Solange Serquis
(Serquis + Associates), with whom I
have worked on my projects, says, “The
outdoor spaces I c reate are often inspired
by the architecture of the building and the
design of the interiors.” I agree with her
thinking, because harmony and rhythm
in a design create a peaceful flow.A portal, deck or porch can come to life
with an outdoor rug, a loveseat, lounge
chairs and a few tables for snacks and
drinks. Use decorative throw pillows,
and outdoor objets d’art to create further
visual interest. Lighting is another
important aspect of making the outdoor
space feel like an extension of the home,
and don’t forget the candlelight!
Be sure to use outdoor fabrics that
won’t fade or degrade. Outdoor textiles
are available in a wide array of colors and
styles; gone is the time when all outdoor
fabrics looked and felt like marine canvas.
The new indoor/outdoor fabrics are
colorful, stylish and even plush!The theme of your outdoor room
should have some relationship to the
interior of your home, thus dissolving the
boundary between inside and outside.
Accessories and decorative items will
finish off your outdoor room. If there is
an opportunity for art or a mirror, there
are outdoor versions that will hold up to
the elements as well.Before you begin, start with a good
plan; whether you create the plan
yourself or you commission help from a
professional landscape designer and/or
interior designer, it is a must.
Putting it on paper and doing the
research for plants and any products
(furniture/fabrics) you might use is
another important aspect of pursuing
such a project. Our Santa Fe nurseries
are a treasure trove of knowledge when
it comes to the right plants to use in our
climate. An interior design studio may be
a great help in finding the right furniture
for your special space.
One of my favorite evenings spentoutdoors was dining al fresco with friends
in our backyard gazebo fully decked
out with a chandelier, candlelight, white
drapes blowing in the breeze, a beautifully
set table surrounded by Russian sage,
aspen trees, flowers and a stunning
sunset! Not to mention wonderful

So what type of community do you
think Americans are looking for as they search for their dream home? A newly
commissioned survey by the National
Association of Realtors asked over 2,000
people this very question. The result
provides us with an update on Americans’
preferences in the face of major changes
in the housing market and economy over
the last few years.
Most Americans want to live in
walkable communities where shops,
restaurants, and local businesses are
within an easy stroll from their homes.
Jobs are a short commute away with
homes offering privacy from neighbors in
detached, single-family housing. If these
types of communities are not available,they prefer short commutes.
The survey found that the economy
has had a significant impact on
Americans’ attitudes toward housing
and communities. Attracting businesses
and creating jobs in any community has
become Americans’ clear top priority.
Thirty-five percent believe the quality
of life in their communities has grown
worse. With fewer Americans buyinghomes, nearly a quarter stated that the
state of the economy has left them less
likely to purchase.
More than half of those surveyed
(57 percent) want to see their local
governments improve communities.
New building in existing c ommunities
ranked higher than new developments
in outlying countryside areas. Preserving
farms and open areas from development
was important to 53 percent of
Americans surveyed. Improving public
transportation was seen as the best
solution to traffic congestion by 50
percent of the people.
Community characteristics were viewed as more important than the size of
a home. According to the sur vey average,
88 percent of Americans believe that the
neighborhood where a home is lo cated
is the greater consideration in deciding
where to live. Other community factors
valued by more than three quarters
of participants included high-quality
public schools, easy walk to a grocery
store, sidewalks, and places to take walksor hikes. Proximity to work within 30
minutes was considered important by 78
percent.
The desire for privacy is a top
consideration when making the decision
on where to live. Eight in 10 Americans
would prefer to live in a single-family,
detached house rather than a townhome,
condominium or apartment. More than
60 percent prefer larger lots with more
distance from neighbors — even if this
required more driving — over small lots
in walkable communities.
Upon hearing a detailed description
of two types of communities, 56 percent
chose the “smart growth” community and43 percent selected a “sprawl” community.
Overall, adults’ current housing patterns
reflected their preferences. Those living
in suburbs, small towns, and rural areas
preferred more spread out, less walkable
communities. Urban residents and those
living in suburbs with a mix of housing
and businesses were more likely to choose
walkable, smart-growth communit
In Santa Fe, the city is beginning
take steps to encourage smart grow
in several corridors. The Santa Fe
Association of Realtors is seeking a
growth grant to help identify the inof housing to encourage redevelop
along the St. Michael’s Drive corrid
incorporate many of the attributes
desirous by Americans.

This home in the Vista Redonda neighborhood
north of Tesuque has a circular foyer, living roomand workout room. The design of the house, which
also includes gently curvilinear walls, is interesting and the
overall layout pleasing.
“This house is very comfortable; it has a real good feel,”
said Janice Brutsche, owner with her husband, R alph
Brutsche.
It was designed by Charles Johnson. “He went to
Taliesen, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in Phoenix,
and he bought a house from me when he first came to
town,” Mr. Brutsche said. “That’s how I got to know him.”
The homesite, bordering Tesuque Pueblo land, is
elevated but nestled into the landscaping and terrain.
“The focus of the design is on the views,” Ralph
Brutsche said. “We are at end of the road and adjacent
to the Indian reservation, so it gives us a vast open area
and an overwhelming quiet. We’ve enjoyed being here
tremendously.”
The Brutsches, developers of Santa Fe Summit and
several other residential subdivisions on Hyde Park Ro ad,
are selling their house as a matter of downsizing.
The driveway to the 24-year-old home is reached
through a pair of distinctive iron gates. Straight in from the
front door is the library, nice and cool in part because of
the presence of a deep portal outside. The room is warmed
by a fireplace and has built-in bookshelves all around.The house walls are adobe. Floors are paved with Rocky
Mountain quartz flagstone. There are no steps in the house:
everything is one one level.
The master bedroom is graced by a long shepherd’s
fireplace. Also in the master suite are his office and a
circular, glassed-in exercise room that projects from
the house. A big, tile shower sits between his and her
bathrooms.
During their 6-year ownership, the Brutsches did tile
upgrades and installed new carpeting and additional
skylights; one of the new-tile standouts is the backsplash
in the kitchen. That room is outfitted with three Sub Zeros
(two refrigerators and one freezer) two ranges (a GE Profile
electric in the long island and a Viking gas range), a Wolf
oven, a GE microwave oven, and two dishwashers.
It all adds up to the food-prep room of “a terrific
entertaining house,” Janice Brutsche said.
In the kitchen and dining room are mildly curved banks
of handsome teak cabinets. These were also designed by
Johnson and made to exacting specifications, with the
wood grain continuous in adjacent doors and panels.
Many of the interior doors are also unique: solid teak,
with half-round, black steel plates behind the handles.
“When this house was built, these doors were an
of contemporary design, which is blended with thtraditional pueblo design in other parts of the hou

Darlings,
Sorry I missed you last
month, but some unavoidable
circumstances prevented my
appearance. I enjoy cryptic
messages like that, because now,
Rosebuds, your imaginations
can run wild. Maybe you’ll
think I was windsurfing off the
coast of Africa (no, that’s Karen
Walker), or attending a New
Moon Goddess and Yoga Retreat
in Costa Rica (no, that’s Susan
Klein). In reality, I was - oh,
forget it. It would sound too pedestrian
compared to my colleagues.
Today, I’m making May baskets. And
observing what’s happening in our little
corner of the real-estate world. All I
can say about that is, “Whoa.” So much
movement, so little space to write about
it... let’s call it Spring Fever.
After 20 years in the same location,
Richard Schoegler (formerly French &
French which became Sotheby’s) decided
to forego the convenience of lunching
at the Santacafe, and he moved to Santa
Fe Properties. A very competent Realtor
(licensed since 1973), the only desk book
he brought with him and c an’t live withoutis The Portable Curmudgeon (it’s not even
about real estate, or could you tell). What
he doesn’t know is that Shell MacKenzie
and I are presenting him with a new book,
his own biography that we wrote, The
Cuddly Curmudgeon (we love Richard’s
crusty wit).
Next, Kathy Abeles (also a 20-
year veteran of French & French then
Sotheby’s) moved to Santa Fe Properties.
A math whiz who studied at Cornell,
Wellesley, and the University of Michigan,
Kathy can calculate amortization schedules
in her head. So don’t worry, Sweet Lilacs,
if she can’t find her smartphone when
pre-qualifying you for a loan, she’ll have
it figured out before you can pull your
own smartphone out of your pocket. Your
details are safe with Kathy.
I call Jeanne Langelier-Symington “the
Realtor Who Came in from the Mesa.”An
independent broker who lives with her
husband on Rowe Mesa and had her one-
person office there, Jeanne enjoyed the
solitude it afforded her so that she could
also concentrate on her art and pottery.
Her old friends at Santa Fe Properties
were thrilled to see her come down from
the mountain, so to speak, and re-join the
fold. Just like old times.
Peter Kahn (formerly Santa Fe Realty
Partners) also joined Santa Fe Properties.
He was an award winning photographer
and graphic designer in his pre-Realtor
life, so when Peter gives you advice on the
“feng shui” of it all, you can know that he
knows what he’s talking about. Aesthetics
aside, his professional qualifications
include CDPE; CRS; RFC; RSPS; SFR;
SRES. Guess what, Daffodils? Now you
have to call Peter to see what all this
means.
Wait, I’m not finished with Santa Fe
Properties. Robbie Dobyns (formerly
Santa Fe Realty Partners) found his way
over there, too. A native Santa Fean,
Robbie’s playground growing up was his
Uncle Alva Simpson’s modest 27,000-acre
ranch, most of which today is Eldorado
at Santa Fe. You could accurately say that
Robbie knows the lay of the land around
Santa Fe. I have a hint for you, Cactus
Flowers— Robbie’s daughter, Andrea, is
a cop, so don’t try anything funny whenworking with Robbie (she’s watching).
Next stop, Barker Realty. Susan
Munroe and Terry Smith (formerly Santa
Fe Realty Partners), one of Santa Fe’s most
attractive real-estate couples, chose Barker
for myriad reasons, not the least being
location, location, location. Instead of
taking their clients out to look at property,
they’re inviting them to the office where
they sit and discuss where today’s lunch
will be. Sooo many delicious choices, all
within walking distance on a beautiful
spring day. They’ve promised each other
that they’ll start showing properties again
soon.
Connie Johnson (formerly Santa Fe
Realty Partners) is at Barker Realty, too.
Not only is Connie a wonderful Realtor,
she’s talented in a million other ways. A
very early love of fabrics and stitchery led
to her degree in textile design. Visit her
online at conniejohnsondesigns.com, and
see her designer aprons, which she makes
for clients all over the world. Do you have
a priceless handwoven sweater in ne
repair? Connie can re-weave it for y
That’s one of the most valuable asset
can have in a place like Santa Fe, wh
everyone has at least one item from
Santa Fe Weaving Gallery.

One of permaculture’s easiest principles
to accept is the one that says, “Make the
least change for the greatest possibleeffect.” Known as the work-is-pollution
principle, its goal (of b eing productive
without wasting energy) makes sense.
New Mexico’s governor had a chance
to apply this conservative principle by
signing SB 124, but she vetoed it. Senator
Peter Wirth’s bill would have made it
illegal for motor vehicles to pass bicycles
without providing a five-foot buf fer. It
would have cost nothing and would have
reduced expenditures for bike-related
accidents and brought more bicycle-
tourist dollars to the state.
Passage also would have encouraged
more people to use bicycles for
commuting. In addition to helping people
save money on gas, this would have
freed up space on roads and reduced the
long-term costs of highway repair. Most
important, “five feet to pass” would have
told drivers what’s safe.
In a terse statement, Governor Susana
Martinez said she vetoed SB 124 because
“Current law a lready provides penalties
for careless driving. NMSA § 66-8-114(B)states that, ‘Any person who operates
a vehicle in a careless, inattentive or
imprudent manner, without due regard
for the width, grade, curves, corners,
traffic, weather and road conditions and
all other attendant circumstances is guilty
of a misdemeanor.’
“I feel,” she wrote in Senate Executive
Message No. 49, “existing law already
addresses the criminality of endangering
cyclists in our state.”
Using the governor’s logic, there should
be no need for speed limits or drunk-
driving laws. We could put my eight-
year-old son behind the wheel if he’s not
“careless.”
But laws often educate. They tell people
how fast is too fast, how much booze is
too much booze, and how young is too
young. Similarly, we could easily decide
how close is too close when passing a
scantily clad cyclist with a fast mass of
metal.
Since the governor understands this,
she forces us to consider what her realmotives are. In the wake of Fukushima,
an alien (from outer space) might think
that our leaders would do more for
cyclists, since they use alternative energy.
But anyone who followed the legislative
session knows Martinez has little use for
anything that might protect the planet for
future generations. Fortunately, we don’t
have to get anywhere near five feet from
her to know who got Martinez elected.
It was the oil and gas industry, and they
don’t make a dime when someone hops
on a bike.
Cyclists save money on gas and other
expenses when they bike to work, school,
church, and shopping. They also s ave
time and money by not having to go to
the gym. They’re in better shape than the
average person behind the wheel of a car,
so their health costs are typically lower.
Talk about making the least change
for the greatest possible effect. Bike
commuters live by this motto every
more of us were to get out there and
them, maybe one day our leaders w
realize how easy it is to make positi
productive changes.

While we hear a lot these days about
our decreasing water supply, we hear less
about the very direct relationship between
energy and water. In fact, it takes a lot of
energy (electricity or gas) to bring fresh
water into our homes to drink, brush
our teeth and flush our toilets. When we
conserve water, we’re not only s aving this
limited resource, we’re also saving energy
and reducing pollution.
In California, it is estimated that water
production and transportation use at
least 6.5 percent of the total electricity
consumed in the state each year. This
means that the total energy used to pump
and treat California’s water exceeds
15,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) per year,enough energy to provide electricity to
six million households! The California
State Water Project, which moves large
quantities of water great distances and
over steep terrain, is the largest single us er
of electrical energy in the state.
In Santa Fe, we are fortunate that our
water sources are mostly local and don’t
require hauling long distances. Still, the
City of Santa Fe Water Division consumes
a tremendous amount of energy pumping
water out of the ground, transporting it
to the water-treatment plant, treating it
to ever-increasing standards and then
pressurizing our local pipes to ensure
water is there when we turn on the tap.
The energy budget for the city’s Water
Division is about $2.9 million, with the
vast majority of that spent on processing
water. This energy tab will eat up about 9
percent of the division’s budget this fiscal
year, and this is just for the delivery of
water to our homes.
With the Buckman Direct Diversion
Project coming fully online in the nextfew years, the amount of energy necessary
to transport water to Santa Fe will
increase. This has been one of the major
reasons driving the annual water rate
increases.
Per Dale Lyons of the City of Santa Fe
Water Division, conservation has played
a big role in keeping our water costs
lower than they could have been. Since
the mid-1990s, Santa Fe has conserved
approximately 45,000 acre-feet of water.
Multiplying this by the cost of energy to
the city and the local average energy usage
to produce this water (3.2 KWH/1000
gallons), it is estimated that Santa Fe’s
conservation efforts have saved the
division roughly $4.5 million in energy
costs since 1995.
Besides conservation, the city is
undertaking many steps to reduce energy
consumption. However, even with these
steps, the increasing costs of energy will
cause water costs to continue to rise.
(Current budgets assume 13 percent
annual increases for gas and 16 percentincreases for electricity.) But it is not only
energy costs that are driving up the cost of
water. Costs are als o being pushed upward
by the need to secure water rights from
further and further away, by the expense
of replacing aging water infrastructure
that in some cases has been in use for half
a century.
We can do our part by conservin
