Albuquerque Slow Housing Market?

While the average number of homes currently listed in the MLS system is at a high of 6067 compared to the 4200 for sale last year, buyers have a wider selection to choose from and can be more picky.

The market is not slow, I have closed 3 transactions of over $600k this month alone, While my entire office (Cottonwood/not all of Coldwell Banker Legacy) closed over 84 transactions & $64M. Same number of buyers have a larger inventory of resale homes, and new construction to choose from but we still have the same amount of buyers as last year.

The key in this market is to ensure that when a agent takes a buyer out to view a home (6-9 in a day) that your home is one of the first 6 they visit, not one of 50 they may have to choose from. The average buyer will select a home within the first 25 houses they visit, surely you do not want your home to be 26th on their list? The way Abaris Team - William Staab market to agents and to buyers always strives to achieve this goal. Not only to get your home shown; but to get your home sold!
