Market Overview

There were 746 pending sales of detached homes for November 2011, up 26.66% over November 2010. There were 492 closed sales of detached homes reported, a 4.90% increase over the prior year. Median sales price for detached residential homes settled in at $160,000.  Of the 492 sales, 235 sales were between $100,000 and $179,000.

“As we approach the holiday season, sales typically drop,” said Peter Parnegg, President of the Greater Albuquerque Association of REALTORS®, “but the market is feeling a bit more stable than this time last year.”  “The disparity between pending sales and closed sales is reflective of the over-reaching regulatory environment in the mortgage industry, making for unnecessary delays and failed transactions,” said Parnegg.
