A few Taos Real Estate Notes as of May 2007

Townhomes -- Taos has traditionally not been a big condominium market, but in recent years wonderful Southwest architecture has met up with creative condo/townhome construction. This has resulted in a new viable alternative for Taos home buyers, and a new, reasonably priced niche.

During the first quarter of 2007, Taos condos/townhomes sold in a range starting at $114,500, with an average sales price of $261,734. That’s a breath of fresh air for buyers seeking retirement, investment or getaway homes under $300,000.

Prices -- Examining the last several years, Taos has demonstrated a solid annual increase in single family home values — with none of the rollercoaster rides many of the nation’s hottest markets continue to experience. This, combined with Taos’ fabulous air quality, climate, scenery and vivid sunsets makes for an unbeatable combination. Taos continues to be the best Southern Rockies real estate deal available.
