As a realtor in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I cannot stress enough how important home staging is to the selling process. With the market in such high demand, buyers can be very critical when it comes to the condition and appearance of homes. That's why it's essential to make a great first impression with potential buyers, and home staging can help you achieve that.

Home staging is the process of preparing a home for sale by enhancing its features and highlighting its best assets. This includes decluttering, depersonalizing, and rearranging furniture to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that appeals to a wide range of buyers.

One of the most significant benefits of home staging is its ability to help your home stand out from the competition. By…

Just wanted to share some interesting information as the rates fluctuate and the housing market normalizes. Some interesting factors to take into consideration. There has been an increase in inventory of 10-12%. This also aligns with the days on market. Which is what we would expect to see with the rise of interest rates. The days on market have also increased over 100%. These are averaging around 40 days. So take that into consideration, it’s more of what we would see in a normal market. We have also seen increasing prices of 15%. So this tells us there’s an opportunity for sellers and buyers to potentially capitalize. There are always micromarkets within the market, some areas yield higher prices and still get multiple offers, while other neighborhoods…

Thinking about purchasing a home in Santa Fe New Mexico? Wondering how the short term rental process works? Here’s some great details to know. First and foremost, it is possible to only property in Santa Fe and run it as a short term rental. With that being said, there are many caveats to have to be taken into consideration.

As we come into the final week of the new year we have seen an adjustment in the rates, but no hint of a decrease in pricing. This could be chalked up to the lack of inventory. I have been telling clients we normally complain when there is 400- 500 homes on the market. Closing out the Week of the 27th we are down to to 159 homes, which is an increase of more then 10% from last weeks home inventory. It is also important to keep in mind this report takes the entire Santa Fe County into consideration. So we are including a lot of the surrounding Santa Fe areas.

Another key factor to take into consideration is the median sales price which came in higher then the average, at $612,500. This tells us the majority of the sales were on the higher side of…

Another solid week in the Santa Fe real estate market. With a median price point staying strong at 550,000, we see a consistent price pattern for homes in Santa Fe. The inventory is still shallow in comparison to earlier months. Santa Fe county's total homes are trending around 226 total properties available for sale. A total of 46 homes were sold this week. This has been relatively consistent, showing a 20 to 25% return on new market updates, and property is also coming off the market. With talks of interest rates going up, there is still an opportunity to lock in solid interest rates of around 3%. Shorter termed loans are offering rates even lower in the 2 to 2 1/2% range. With the low inventory, there are opportunities for sellers to capitalize. As…
