For buyers and sellers

Are Albuquerque home prices going up or down?

rising

Albuquerque metro detached residential home prices are rising based on the latest monthly market data. The median sales price is $387,250, up 4.5% year over year. The sold price per square foot is $221, up 2.8% year over year. Sale price, price per square foot, and home-size mix can move differently, so it is useful to read them together.

Monthly data used

  • Median Sales Price: $387,250, up 4.5% year over year, +$16,660 absolute YoY change
  • Average Sales Price: $468,467, up 7.5% year over year, +$32,659 absolute YoY change
  • Sold Price per SqFt: $221, up 2.8% year over year, +$6 absolute YoY change
  • Median List Price: $439,000, up 0.4% year over year, +$1,755 absolute YoY change
  • Median Original List Price: $405,000, up 1.3% year over year, +$5,100 absolute YoY change
  • Sold Dollar Volume: $415,998,864, up 12.4% year over year, +$45,997,897 absolute YoY change

  • Median Living Area: 1,973, down 1.4% year over year, -27 absolute YoY change

For buyers

Buyers should not assume every listing is moving the same way. Compare individual homes against recent closed sales, price reductions, concessions, and price per square foot.

For sellers

Sellers still need to price against current comparable sales. A higher median sale price does not automatically mean every home can push above recent comps.

Historical context

Median Sales Price is above the same-month long-term average of $233,957. It ranks in about the 100th percentile of available monthly history. Compared with the 2020-2022 period, average sales price is above that period's average. Compared with the 2008-2012 downturn period, median sales price is above that period's average.

Data is based on a reviewed Southwest MLS Flex monthly market export for detached residential properties in the Greater Albuquerque market. Closed sales are a lagging indicator; pending listings, inventory, price changes, and days on market provide additional market context.

For buyers

Is now a good time to buy in Albuquerque?

seller-leaning market

For Albuquerque home buyers, timing depends on affordability, available inventory, and negotiating power. The affordability index is 79, down 0.6% year over year; affordability is difficult. Supply of inventory is 2.08, down 13.2% year over year; this points to a seller-leaning market.

Monthly data used

  • Median Sales Price: $387,250, up 4.5% year over year, +$16,660 absolute YoY change

  • Days to Contract: 21, up 23.5% year over year, +4 absolute YoY change

Compared with the 2020-2022 period, mortgage payment, estimated piti is above that period's average. Compared with the 2008-2012 downturn period, median sales price is above that period's average.

seller-leaning market

Based on supply of inventory, the Albuquerque metro detached residential market is currently a seller-leaning market. Supply of inventory is 2.08, down 13.2% year over year.

For buyers

For sellers

Sellers should treat market label as a pricing guide, not a guarantee. Presentation, condition, and pricing still drive results.

Historical context

Compared with the 2020-2022 period, absorption rate is below that period's average. Compared with the 2008-2012 downturn period, supply of inventory is below that period's average.

For buyers and sellers

Is the Albuquerque housing market crashing?

crash risk check

The latest Albuquerque metro detached residential data does not by itself show a housing-market crash. A crash would usually require broad price declines, a sharp rise in supply, weaker demand, and elevated distress at the same time. Median sales price is $387,250, up 4.5% year over year.

Monthly data used

  • Median Sales Price: $387,250, up 4.5% year over year, +$16,660 absolute YoY change

  • Supply of Inventory: 2.08, down 13.2% year over year, -0.32 absolute YoY change
  • Closed Sales: 888, up 4.6% year over year, +39 absolute YoY change
  • New Pending Sales: 896, up 12.1% year over year, +97 absolute YoY change
  • Pending Inventory: 1,149, up 3.6% year over year, +40 absolute YoY change
  • Pending Fallout Rate: 20.3%, up 2.2% year over year, +0.4% absolute YoY change

For buyers

Buyers should separate negotiability from crash claims. Some sellers may adjust, but metro-level crash conditions require several indicators to weaken together.

For sellers

Sellers should avoid overpricing, but the data should be read as a set of indicators rather than a headline.

Historical context

Median Sales Price is above the same-month long-term average of $233,957. It ranks in about the 100th percentile of available monthly history. Compared with the 2020-2022 period, sold price per sqft is above that period's average. Compared with the 2008-2012 downturn period, median sales price is above that period's average.

Data is based on a reviewed Southwest MLS Flex monthly market export for detached residential properties in the Greater Albuquerque market. Closed sales are a lagging indicator; pending listings, inventory, price changes, and days on market provide additional market context.

For buyers

Can buyers negotiate right now?
