This is a City of Albuquerque ordinance, does the city have jurisdiction over the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Water Authority and the County of Bernalillo. Seems to me the City does not have a water system since they creaed the water authority.
Jurisdictional authority needs to be established.

The ordinance does indicate that it is the responsibility of the buyer to replace the fixtures. Perhaps GAAR can communicate this correction to the local media?

When looking at the ordinance it says buyers.. but the video, news media and the GARR president seem to say sellers... We need to find out which one of our clients will be responsible for every change of homes 16 years or older. The closing remark of ask your Realtor puts us in a spot to use the ordinance in my opinion. Sellers are already paying 6 % commission in a market when they want to negotiate everything. I believe that my position will be to bring the ordinance and show my clients that are buying what is their responsibility.

Significant in the 2009 end-of-year (December)market statistics is the continuing increase in home sales from Albuquerque to Rio Rancho. In our market, significantly more single-family detached homes were sold in December 2009 than in December 2008. In addition, fewer new listings entered the market contributing to the decrease in the inventory.

Dear Sellers, Please don't expect to sell your home for a giant profit in this market. Especially if the carpet hasn't been vacuumed in a decade. Mix in some fresh paint and light fixtures and maybe We'll make an offer. Sincerely, Buyers
