Las Cruces home sales on track for record year

According to a Nov. 10 report from the Las Cruces Association of Realtors, 2019 was the second-best production year on record for Las Cruces-area home sales.

Local Realtors sold a total of 2,160 new and existing homes, townhomes and condominiums during 2019; surpassing the 2,136 homes sold in 2005, which was the second-best production year in our area’s history. The all-time best production year was 2006, when 2,291 homes changed hands.

So, what sort of record might this year’s total number of sales set? The LCAR report revealed that 1,907 sales were booked through the first ten months of this year. That number represents the second-highest number of sales ever reported during that period, surpassed only by the 1,975 sales closed during the first ten months of 2006.
