Santa Fe Real Estate and Style
One of the things that makes Santa Fe unique is how the city was originally designed - that the town be built around a central plaza.
A unified business style is one of the things that helps Santa Fe maintain its unique look. This is known as the Spanish Pueblo Revival look. The sources for this style came from the many defining features of local architecture: vigas and canales from many old adobe homes, churches built many decades before and found in the Pueblos, and the earth-toned, adobe-colored look of the exteriors.
Spanish Pueblo Revival isn't the only style in Santa Fe. In the 1930's laws were expanded to allow buildings in the Territorial style, which allows the addition of portals and white-painted window and door pediments. The further you get away from the center of Santa Fe, the more loose the laws become.
For the most part, the real estate industry in Santa Fe is decent, even when the housing market in the rest of the US isn't doing so well. If you're looking to buy or sell in Santa Fe, New Mexico, there are dozens of real estate companies that can help you, including Santa Fe Realty Partners.
