GARY SANDLER’S
LAS CRUCES AREA RESIDENTIAL SALES OVERVIEW
If you’re looking for the straight scoop on real estate activity in the Las Cruces area, you’ve come to the right place. Gary’s comprehensive collection of current and historic market data firmly positions him and his clients on the leading edge of local and national trends. In order for the numbers to be meaningful, however, and to comply with applicable laws, rules & regulations, it is important that we pound into your head the following:
- The market statistics contained herein are derived from a number of different sources and may not represent all sales activity in the area.
- The statistics that are attributed to the Las Cruces Association of Realtors® wholly owned Multiple Listing & Information Service subsidiary are for the last day of the periods indicated and represent sales information for the greater Las Cruces area.
- While we think the numbers are right-on-the-button and we deem them to be reliable, we (or anyone else for that matter) cannot guarantee their accuracy.
- Homes are defined as single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums

OUR CURRENT LAS CRUCES AREA NUMBERS

|
ACTIVE LISTINGS & PENDING SALES |
|
| This data will illustrate the relationship between the number of active residential listings currently for sale in our area and the number of properties that have sales contracts pending. A sale is pending when a contract has been signed but the transaction has yet to close. When the upper and lower lines are in close proximity to one another, sellers enjoy an advantage. Just the opposite is true when the lines are separated by a wide gap, as they are at present |

PENDING SALES: NEW & EXISTING |
|
|
|
How many new and existing homes, townhomes and condominiums currently have contracts pending? These charts will provide individual overviews of the number of contracts pending on both new and existing-homes. Pending sales are the best indicators of future sale production because they precede the actual closings by 30 to 60 days.
