What Direction is the Real Estate Market Headed?
I pull my own real estate stats almost every day for my Albuquerque real estate stats blog. Right now I’m seeing slight improvements in the average sales prices in almost all areas of the city as well as a reduced number of houses for sale. In fact, we’ve had mostly positive real estate news for about 6 months now going back to October of 2011.
The direction of the market seems pretty clear then, and feels very positive if not spectacular. However, from where I sit, having survived the worst real estate market in a long time, I’ll take slow and steady growth over time if it means we can avoid the subsequent precipitous drop in the market as a result of out of control growth.
