encounter a
happy one.
When Patty headed out to run errands this
morning, she was surprised to see a familiar
face on the sidewalk – Maria, one of her past
clients. Two months ago, Patty helped Maria
find the home of her dreams, and she turned
to the partner she could count on to ensure
the closing went smoothly – Stewart Title of
Albuquerque.
We guided Maria through each step of the
transaction and kept her closing on schedule
and this morning, her great experience was all
she could talk about.

abq housing market
continues to improve
sales, prices increase from 2015
I
2016, the
housing
market continued to experience
stable gains. The number of homes
sold and sales price increased, plus the
number of homes for sale finally saw a
bump of 2.69 percent.
With 2,153 homes sold in the first
quarter of 2016, the overall number
of detached home sales in the greater
Albuquerque market saw a 9.09 percent
increase compared to the same period
last year. The 2,153 homes sold broke
first quarter records going back to 2006,
plus Albuquerque saw more gains than
other areas of central New Mexico. The
number of detached homes sold in Albuquerque increased by 14.68 percent over
quarter one in 2015, while the number of
attached homes sold in the same region
surged by 32.85 percent.
Compared to the first quarter of 2015,
Rio Rancho saw a rise in the number of
n the first quarter of
overall albuquerque
detached homes sold by 7.36 percent
while the number of attached homes
sold were down by 14.29 percent. East
Mountains experienced an 8.05 percent
upturn in the number of homes sold
while Valencia County noticed a 16.89
percent decrease.
As the overall number of homes sold
in the first quarter of 2016 increased, the
average number of days on the market
dropped by 14.47 percent compared to
the first quarter of 2015. Detached homes
in Albuquerque continue to sell the fastest with an average of only 60 days on
the market. New listings in the greater
Albuquerque market were up slightly
as well. With 4,124 new home listings,
inventory of detached homes saw a
bump of 2.69 percent compared to the
first quarter of last year. Attached homes
on the market jumped even more with a
15.14 percent increase.
The median and average sales prices
maintained their stable growth in quarter
one. Compared to the same period in
2015, the average sales price increased
by 5.69 percent. The median home
price grew by 4.65 percent over the first
quarter of last year. In the first quarter of
2016, the average detached home sales
price was $216,222 and the median detached home sales price was $179,000.
“As the housing market continues to
improve, more sellers are putting their
homes on the market,” said Jon Schnoor,
2016 President of the Greater Albuquerque Association of REALTORS®.
“However, the number of new sales are
outpacing the number of new listings resulting in a less than three month supply
of homes on the market. Homes that are
priced right and in great condition sell
very quickly,” he added.

reclaimed wood benefits
planet, homeowners
S
alvaged doors, fences, shutters, beams and so much
can be put to new use.
Repurposing salvaged wood
is a popular trend in the home
improvement industry. Not only can
using salvaged wood give a home a
one-of-a-kind look, but it’s a handy
way to incorporate the three Rs
of green living into your lifestyle:
reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reclaimed wood is often used in
flooring, beams, wall treatments, and
doors; but it also can be turned into
furniture or home accent items. Reclaimed wood adds warmth and historical interest to a home’s decor that
newer materials may lack. Although
finding wood that can be salvaged
takes time and some legwork, such
efforts quickly pay off. Many busimore
nesses are now devoted to reclaimed
timber, which can help make the
process of finding and using salvaged
wood even easier.
Homeowners considering reclaimed wood may be interested to
learn that such wood can serve various functions aside from benefitting
the planet.
match older wood
New regulations may prevent
certain species of trees from being cut
down. That means it can be challenging to match old wood in a home,
particularly if you’re looking to maintain historical value and authenticity.
Relying on salvaged wood items can
alleviate this concern, ensuring that
you can find rare woods that are no
longer available brand new.
character
It’s difficult to mimic the natural
age marks and character that older
wood may have. Instead of being
raised on farms, wood harvested
decades ago probably grew in natural environments, making the wood
both durable and strong. The color
and grain of salvaged wood may also
be unique.
see in a new way
Doors are versatile pieces of
reclaimed lumber because they’re
already flat and rather large. Doors
can be turned into headboards,
tables or benches. Staircase or
porch posts can be turned into
candlestick holders, wood shutters
can dress up walls and provide a
place to hang artwork and other
wall items.
it’s everywhere
Most people do not have to look
too far to find wood they can salvage.
Check salvage yards, landfills, dumpsters in front of older homes being
renovated, or older, unused barns in
rural settings You also can collect driftwood or discarded shipping crates.
While some reclaimed wood
can be used as-is, some pieces may
require millwork, including sanding,
cutting, shaping, and finishing. If you
do not have these skills, you probably
will have to hire someone who does.
The Internet is awash with ideas
for putting salvaged wood to use. Get
inspired and then find the pieces that
will fit your project.

the balance between creativity and
crunching numbers becomes key to success
back to
his roots
S
cott schiabor of scott patrick homes,
dabbled with another field for a while,
but his experience outside of the custom
home construction business may have
given him the insight and training to survive
where others failed.
starting from the bottom
Schiabor followed his father into the building industry in New Jersey. “I started by cleaning
floors,” Schiabor said with a chuckle. “And doing
whatever needed to be done.” There’s no better introduction to the business because you get a grasp
on every aspect of the process, he said.
“I got to just about everything, electrical,
the plumbing, floors,” Schiabor said. “And
the big thing is you need to learn how to work
with people.”
“You want to be able to find and keep strong
subcontractors,” he said. “They’re the real experts
in the field. They have to be reliable, provide
quality work and be able to deliver it on time for
everything to come together.” By learning those
lessons early, Schiabor was ready when he went
out on his own.
Despite the early success, Schiabor decided to
move west, earn a degree in accounting and try life
as a CPA. He went to school in Montana before
landing a job in Albuquerque crunching numbers.
the old calling
After several years of that, however, the old
calling became too strong.
“I just had a love for it,” he said. “Designing
and creating something. Creating something that’s
a little new and different. The mix of designing
with the challenge of construction is just something I wanted to utilize.” Besides, Schiabor added
with a grin, a successful builder can make a much
larger income, which is especially important after
having two children.
all in the family
by glen rosales
“The mix of designing with the challenge of
construction is just something I wanted to utilize.”
Scott schiabor
homestyle writer
The Sandia Mountains make
dining a pleasure.
“Having the kids and wanting to give them the
best life that I could gave me the motivation to get
back into it,” he said. Schiabor started by building
the family’s home and using it as a model – which,
of course was something of challenge at times.
“I worked out of the garage for a while,” he
said. “It wasn’t always easy. But we were able to do
it. I think when you’re young, you’re able to put up
with a lot more.”
Schiabor credits his wife, Joanne Schiabor, with
helping make things smooth, while also adding
her expertise in finance and banking to the business. That gave Scott Patrick a one-stop shop from
design and build to finished product and sales.
And with accounting experience, Schiabor was
able to bring a more business-like approach to the
off-the-site end of the business.
key to survival
“My accounting experience helped me become
more aware of financial control and operations,”
he said. It also helped him stay organized and
know where things are across the business.
Given that, it’s not surprising that Scott Patrick
Homes was able to survive the downturn of 2008
and 2009.
It was an integral part of his process and
success, Schiabor said. “Without a financial and
accounting background, you can get into trouble
pretty easily. So it really helped to have that experience,” he said.
Any business usually has its ups and downs,
so simply preparing for those types of fluctuations
was a big step, Schiabor said. “You always have
to be looking ahead and you always to be on your
toes. And, again, it really helps to put together a
good group of subcontractors. If they’re in good
shape, then you’re in good shape.”
Two have been with him since he started back
up again in 1988, Schiabor said, helping out with
two developments on North Tramway Estates on
the far Northeast Heights, and Andalucia de la Luz
near Bosque School off of Coors.
north tramway estates
North Tramway Estates is a small development
with homes ranging in size from 2,220 to 3,200
square feet. Most thus far could be called modern,
although Schiabor said he likes to add soft touches
to give the homes their own livability.
For instance, his recently sold model has wood
floors in the entry and a walk-in butler’s pantry
that not only has space to store Costco-sized dry
goods, but also room to have a bar with fixings.
And one of the unique aspects to the home is a
centralized utility room that is accessed off of the
master bath, as well as the hallway down from the
secondary bedrooms.
andalucia de la luz
While Northway Tramway is geared more to
the older family or even empty nesters, Andalucia
is more targeted at young professionals with growing families. The homes range from 2,200 to 4,000
square feet with somewhat larger lots that can be
as big as a half-acre.
And with all his homes, every effort is made to
draw the outdoors in.
“The great thing about New Mexico is the
weather, so we’re always looking to design our
subdivisions and our homes to take advantage of
that,” Schiabor said.

2 years ago we put our house up for sale. It was on the market for 9 months
and did not sell. We put it up for sale again with the same realtor once again,
no sale. When our contract was up, we changed realtors and Crystal came
along. Just a few months later, it is sold!! She took care of everything she said
she would in a timely manner and delivered with professionalism and a smile.
Thank you Crystal for all you have done. You are amazing!! - Carla Rodriguez

tips & advice
when you
outgrow
your home
By Melvin R. Vallejos
branch manager, Cornerstone Home Lending, Inc.
past president, nm association of mortgage professionals
owners should consider many factors
when looking to upgrade
M
aybe you need a larger
for a crafting hobby
that has turned into an
online enterprise. Or more
rooms for extended stays by extended
family. If your family is growing, you
may need more bedrooms or a house
with a yard for the furry family members. Here’s what you should know before you upsize your home or upgrade
your neighborhood.
space
your current home
Some homeowners can cover the
cost of buying a new home without
proceeds from the sale of their existing
home. But if you’re like most people,
you’ll need to sell your current home
first. Start thinking about making
repairs or improvements to get your
home ready to sell. Work with a local
agent and research list prices for similar
homes near yours.
your comfort level
A bigger home or a nicer neighborhood usually means a bigger mortgage
than what you are paying now. Do
the math to see if you can reasonably
increase your housing payments and
still cover everyday expenses and occasional luxuries. A larger home also
means more square footage to heat,
cool, clean and maintain. Consider
your added costs in utilities, plus the
additional time and energy you’ll put
towards upkeep.
your perception of
the market
If you’ve lived in your current home
for the past several years, the mortgage
climate may be different from what you
experienced before. While the housing
crisis did lead to stricter lending guidelines, many lenders have loosened their
requirements in recent years. You can
still expect a very detailed review of your
credit and finances, but there are a variety of programs out there to fit different
buyers’ needs. You can also expect new,
easier-to-use mortgage disclosure forms
and more time to review them. This will
help you feel confident when you go to
the closing table so you know that your
loan terms are on your terms.
This guide is for general informational purposes only. Please talk with
qualified real estate and mortgage professionals for specific guidance.
