This page collects my latest market briefings for Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, and I keep it current with what is actually happening in our local market. Here you will find plain-language reads on home prices, inventory, days on market, and mortgage rates, written to help you make confident decisions whether you are buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on your home’s value. Every number below comes from the source named inside the full update, so you always know where the data is coming from. If you would like help turning any of these numbers into a plan for your situation, my calendar is always open.
Market data as of
The numbers below come from the sources cited at the bottom of this section. Figures are the latest available from each source and I update this snapshot as new data is released.
The story of the week is the mortgage rate climb: daily 30-year fixed quotes crossed above 7% in early September, the first time since May 2025, and Freddie Mac’s weekly average rose to 6.76%, which tightens monthly budgets and keeps the pace of sales measured. Prices are still holding near recent highs, with Albuquerque’s median near $360,000, and supply remains limited at about 2,056 active listings, so this is a market where preparation matters more than timing. For buyers, that translates into more room to negotiate on the right home; for sellers, pricing with current data and presenting a well-cared-for home is what brings today’s smaller, more selective buyer pool to the table.
If you’d like help turning any of these numbers into a plan for your situation, my calendar is always open. Here is where every figure above comes from:
