LAST YEAR, 2018, WAS A RECORD YEAR FOR HOME SALES ACROSS THE STATE. AND PAUL WILSON, PRESIDENT OF THE NEW MEXICO ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS, SAYS IT’S BEEN A GOOD START TO 2019…WITH THE SALES FIGURES FOR JANUARY NEARLY MATCHING THOSE OF ONE YEAR AGO. JUST UNDER 15 HUNDRED HOMES WERE SOLD IN NEW MEXICO LAST MONTH.
THE MEDIAN SALES PRICE FOR A HOME IN JANUARY WAS 196 THOUSAND 500 DOLLARS…UP THREE PERCENT FROM THE SAME MONTH IN 2018…AND THE HIGHEST MEDIAN PRICE IN MORE THAN TEN YEARS.
