The Improved Albuquerque Market

Monday, April 29, 2013
by Sandi Pressley

Good Monday Morning!

Yes, the Real Estate market has improved in the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho areas. Statistics indicate that the value of homes has not changed much at this time as a result of the improved market. This means that even though there are more buyers out looking and there are fewer homes to choose from, the price that you can expect to obtain from a sale has not yet changed. If you have a home on the market or if you are considering the sale of your home, you still must be realistic about pricing your home. Well priced homes sell quickly right now, but the over priced homes still just sit. Sellers who price high to test the waters just might miss this market and the chance to sell. There is a great deal of opportunity right now if you are thinking about selling to purchase another home. To take advantage of this market and the low mortgage interest rates it is important to be realistic with pricing your home.

Have An Awesome Week!

Spring Market Updates

Wednesday, March 27, 2013
by Sandi Pressley

Good Monday Morning!

It appears that spring is close to being here. The first sign of spring is the longer days and flowers beginning to bloom. It's a wonderful time to live in the Albuquerque area.

Mortgage interest rates have remained almost unchanged over the past month until late last week when we saw rates take another dip. It just can't get much better than this for financing a home. If you consider that home prices are much lower than they were at the peak of the market and then consider the low cost of financing, there just may never be a better time to buy a home. This also means that it is a great time to sell your home and purchase another home whether it might be a larger home or a smaller home. The largest challenge facing home buyers right now is that the inventory of homes for sale is low. It might be slightly tougher to find the perfect home to purchase, but we are managing to find great purchase opportunities right now for the home buyers we are working with.

If you are thinking about purchasing your first home, moving up to a larger home or downsizing, the best way to start the process is to set a time to meet with us. We can determine your needs and then look at the best course of action for you. Once you know the process and the numbers your decision becomes much easier. I strongly advise anyone who is thinking about buying or selling a home right now to start the process with this easy analysis.

Have An Awesome Week!

Albuquerque Real Estate is Looking Up

Wednesday, February 27, 2013
by Sandi Pressley

Good Monday Morning!

Almost no new apartments have been built since 2008. The single family building permits in 2010 were 1,440 for the Albuquerque Metro Area. They dropped to 1,192 in 2011. In 2012, we saw the first increase over the prior year since 2006! We went from 1,192 to 1,428, a significant year-over-year increase but still more than 1,000 under the “breakeven” number. To put that into perspective, more than 6,600 building permits were pulled in both 2005 and 2006! The increasing number of permits last year is an extremely good sign for two reasons. The increase indicates returning consumer confidence and demand in the market place. Second, because building houses creates jobs!

To recap, I now really do believe the bottom is behind us. Here is why:

  1. The inventory of resale homes is the lowest it has been in 6 years.
  2. We have 18 straight months of year-over-year increases in the amount of homes being put under contract. In other words, a consistent increase in demand.
  3. There have been 4 years of very low building permits, which are finally increasing.
  4. 2012 would be twelve years since the last bottom in the prior cycle, mirroring the 12-year cyclical history of the Albuquerque market.

Anecdotally, we are seeing multiple offers for the first time in many years. This is the actual ground level indicator of the shift in balance from over supply to balance.

Let me close with this thought. In both of the last recoveries, the post 1988 and post 2000 bottoms, the highest rate of appreciation was 5 years from the bottom. If we mark 2012 as the first positive year, our highest rate of annual appreciation in this cycle could be just 4 short years away from now. Do not expect gigantic annual appreciation in the next two to three years, but if we mirror either of the last two recoveries, we should see a 2 to 3% annual increase, which could, in the next 4 years, reach a one-year increase of 9%.

Combine that timing with interest rates below 4%, and I think if a homebuyer were ever to consider buying - the timing is perfect. For the sellers who have waited through the recession, the light is at the end of the tunnel!

Have An Awesome Week!
