Barker Realty updates clients on market trends

ip image: a full moon rises over Santa Fe County.

Santa Fe was just named the number one destination in the country. That is no small thing. It reflects what we already know: this is a place people want to be.

Sales activity remains strong overall, but the market is shifting beneath the surface. We are seeing clear bifurcation between high end and more affordable price points, along with increased sensitivity to pricing across the board. Homes that are well priced and well presented are still moving. Homes that are testing the market are sitting.

We do not expect demand to slow, especially with Santa Fe’s continued national visibility and lifestyle appeal. But we may see modest price adjustments as the market seeks balance.

This remains a highly sought after destination, even with all the quirks and challenges that make Santa Fe what it is. Our job, and yours, is to stay informed, stay realistic, and help clients navigate it with clarity.
