Albuquerque Housing Market June 2020

June's real estate market in Albuquerque is a little bit more normal. However, inventory is down by 55.2% compared to June last year. The number of homes sold in June is up 1.2%. With inventory so low, it is no surprise home sales increased by only 1.2% It is very difficult to purchase a home for $350,000 or less. There are multiple offers and these homes are selling in a few days. Homeowners in the $200,000 price range are receiving 5 or more offers in the first 24 hours. Now is a great time to sell if you own a home valued under $350,000.  The number of pending sales increased by 34.3%, I expect to see home sales increase because of this increase in pending sales.

This is going to remain a sellers’ market as inventory is low. This won’t change until homeowners feel safe putting their homes on the market.
I am asked all the time, what is the impact of the coronavirus on the real estate market? It is too soon to understand the long-term impact of the coronavirus on the real estate market. Much of the impact will be determined by the length of the shutdowns. The longer the state is shut down, becomes more likely we will see significant damage to the housing market.
