In 2019, the real estate market throughout Santa Fe – all areas and all property types – remained buoyant. According to the Santa Fe Association of Realtors MLS, median prices rose 6% compared to one year ago, $366K vs. $345K, while the average selling price rose 7% to $471K. Home sales above $2M increased 10% from the year prior while homes sold between $1M and $2M increased 4%. Total units sold decreased 5% due in part to lower inventories which declined by 6% from 2018. Average days on market decreased 9% overall with the largest decreases happening in the $500K to $750K price sector, which was down 14%, and the $2M+ price sector, which was down 19%. Demand for homes in the market above $1M remained strong and showed patterns of continued growth for the fifth consecutive year. It was not unusual in the most active price sectors to see well-priced homes receive multiple offers within days of being placed on the MLS.
