POOR CREDIT AND NOT ENOUGH INTEREST FROM CONTRACTORS. THOSE ARE A COUPLE OF FACTORS THAT HAVE LED TO A VERY LETHARGIC HOUSING MARKET IN NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. TERRY BRUNNER WITH THE U-S-D-A IN NEW MEXICO SAYS HE'S PUTTING TOGETHER A TASK FORCE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. HE TELLS 770 KKOB THE AREA HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF OLDER HOMES … ABOUT 20 PERCENT WERE BUILT BEFORE 1939.
THE U-S-D-A IS HOLDING A MEETING IN MOSQUERO TODAY(MON) TO, IN BRUNNER'S WORDS, "BEGIN A CONVERSATION " ON HOW TO REJUVENATE THE HOUSING MARKET IN THAT PART OF THE STATE.
