Well, 2009 is over. What does that mean? For the Albuquerque residential real estate market , there are some very positive signs that we have hit bottom. There are some who are suggesting that there may be a “double bottom” but that remains to be seen. The last five years. Here are some numbers that might be encouraging. Let’s go back to the peak, which was 2005. There were a total of 13, 448 closed single family detached resale homes that year. In 2008 there were 8,144 closings. That is a 39.44% decrease over 3 years. There were 7,905 closings this year! While still a decrease, that is only -3.08% from last year. August 2005 had 1,267 closings, which was the highest number of resale closings in one month ever in Albuquerque! From that month on there was a steady but gradual decrease, month by month, until November of 2007 when the bottom fell out. Every month of the following year starting August 2005 had fewer closings than the past year for 46 straight months! In Jan

I have to apologize on behalf of myself, my organization www.GAAR.com and anyone else who published the wrong information last weekend regarding the new ordinance requiring LOW FLOW TOILETS with regard to real estate sales . It was published by our association www.GAAR.com - to the media at KOAT - and then to the public at large that it would be a SELLER REQUIREMENT to replace toilets with low flow toilets before the completion of a sale of real estate. After reading the new ordinance (which was included with the report) it came to my attention that this information that was dispensed by both the news media and my trade association was incorrect. The ordinance clearly states that it will be the responsiblity of the BUYER of the property to comply with the ordinance within a particular time frame after the sale is complete. My error was trusting the information that comes out of my assocation, www.GAAR.com and then to the media and then dispensed to the public as if it were true. T

I did an analysis of Albuquerque home sales from November 15, 2009 to present today. This will give you an idea of what the activity was for sales based on VACANT homes vs. OCCUPIED properties. Vacant homes are either new builder inventory (not frequently put into MLS), homes where the owner has moved to another area or another home, foreclosures, and vacant investment property no longer occupied by a tenant. Of course we have to look at these statistics based on broker data entry (whether the broker said it was occupied but was really vacant), etc. These statistics show that for OCCUPIED PROPERTIES, from November 15th to present (January 4, 2010) there were 151 properties put into PENDING status. For VACANT PROPERTIES, there were 181 properties put into PENDING status. What is interesting is that the 'price point' or average price for the sales were higher for OCCUPIED properties, less for VACANT homes listed for sale. The average DAYS ON MARKET was also found to be sli
