Market Report
The Albuquerque market, read the way an advisor reads it.
This page tracks the numbers behind the Albuquerque metro housing market and, just as important, explains what those numbers do not tell you. Metro medians are a useful temperature check, but a distinctive home in Sandia Heights or Corrales is a different market than the median suggests. Here is where you start.
Latest available figures as reported by the local MLS and public data providers, through September 2026.
~$390,000
Metro median sale price
September 2026 MLS figure, up 1.3% from a year earlier.
~3.5 mo
Months of supply
September 2026 MLS figure, up 14.6% from a year earlier: still a seller's market, but a calmer one.
~2,331
Active listings
September 2026 MLS count, up 0.5% from a year earlier, with 862 new listings in the month.
~$452,000
Average sale price
September 2026 MLS figure, above the median as the upper end pulls the average up.
Figures compiled from local real estate and media reporting for the Albuquerque metro. Sources vary in methodology and timing, and segment-level numbers can differ from metro medians. This page is a starting point, not an appraisal.
Advisor's lens
What I actually watch, beyond the headline.
The four numbers above describe the metro. When I work with a seller of a distinctive home, I build the picture at the property level: what is happening with the homes that actually compete with it.
-
Days on market for the comparable set
Not the metro average, but how long homes like yours are taking in the neighborhoods where buyers are actually shopping.
-
Price reductions in the segment
If a rising share of similar homes is being reduced, that is a supply and pricing signal long before it shows up in a median.
-
Share of sales at or above list
Tells you whether competition is real or whether buyers hold the leverage, and how that is trending month over month.
-
Inventory at the luxury level
Gated communities, view properties, and acreage have thin, slow-moving inventory. A single new listing can reset the comparison set.
The important caveat
Your home is not the metro median.
A custom estate, a view property, or an acreage home does not belong in the same average as the metro's entry-level inventory. The median tells you the overall temperature of the market. Your position comes from your property's actual comparable sales, and that analysis is exactly what a Private Seller Strategy™ provides.
