While our robust market shows continued signs of buyer demand, Santa Fe remains one of the best priced luxury markets in the Southwest. With more people working remotely in various industries, Santa Fe is now a primary home market for individuals and families seeking a high quality of life at more attainable price points than other luxury communities. According to Drew Lamprich, Qualifying Broker for Sotheby’s International Realty in Santa Fe, “The pandemic has brought more attention to Santa Fe than ever before. We have become a primary home market [for many]…that allows people to invest more.”
