39 min - Albuquerque Home Prices: What Changed in 13 Years?
Albuquerque home prices more than doubled on an average-sale-price basis in the episode’s August 2013–August 2026 comparison, while fewer homes were available for sale.
Quick takeaway:
Tracy and Tego compare the market then and now and discuss how mortgage payments, property taxes and moving costs contribute to the housing lock-in effect. Market averages are not a valuation of any specific home.Questions answered:
How have Albuquerque home prices changed over 13 years?
The hosts compare average sale prices of $221,500 in August 2013 and $449,700 in August 2026—not median prices or the appreciation of every individual home.What is the housing lock-in effect?
The hosts describe homeowners staying put to preserve lower housing costs rather than take on the expense of changing homes.Why do property taxes matter when moving?
The discussion illustrates how a different property-tax bill can affect the total monthly housing payment, beyond the mortgage rate alone.What changed in DIY remodeling spending?
The hosts discuss national research from Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies showing a smaller DIY share of home-improvement spending, even as total spending increased.Chapters:

34 min - Albuquerque Starter Homes: What Counts as Entry-Level?
Albuquerque starter homes are the focus of this September 2026 discussion: more overall listings do not necessarily mean more move-in-ready choices at lower prices.
Albuquerque Real Estate Talk, Episode 598 | Tracy and Tego Venturi
Quick takeaway:
A “starter home” price benchmark does not tell you whether a property fits your needs or budget. The hosts discuss lower-priced inventory, home condition, buyer assistance, and financing questions.Questions answered:
**What counts as a starter home in Albuquerque?**
The episode discusses a price benchmark of about $327,000 or less using the August 2026 median cited, while questioning whether that price feels attainable to first-time buyers.**Are move-in-ready homes under $250,000 easy to find?**
Tracy and Tego describe limited choices in that price range, especially when a property must also meet the buyer’s financing requirements.**Do Albuquerque buyers have more choices?**
The August discussion describes more listings than in July and lighter showing activity, while some clean, well-presented homes still attract competing offers.**What financing topics should buyers ask a lender about?**
The hosts discuss Homewise assistance in Valencia County, VantageScore credit scoring, and manufactured-home eligibility. Confirm current program rules and property requirements with a lender.Chapters:

31 min - Is the Albuquerque Housing Market Cooling? What Buyers & Sellers Should Know
Albuquerque real estate is entering its typical seasonal slowdown, and Tracy Venturi and Asel Venturi explain why they view the current cooling as normal rather than a housing-market crash—plus what it may mean for local buyers and sellers. They also compare new construction with resale homes, discuss builder incentives, and look at New Mexico locations people may consider when thinking about retirement.
Quick takeaway:
The market slowdown Tracy and Asel describe follows the seasonal pattern they typically expect as fall approaches. Buyers may encounter less competition, while sellers may need patience and a clear strategy—especially when competing against new construction offering financing or closing-cost incentives.Is the Albuquerque housing market crashing?
Tracy and Asel say no. They describe the current conditions as a normal seasonal slowdown rather than a crash.Could new construction be more affordable than a resale home?
Potentially. New homes may have a higher price per square foot, but builder incentives such as rate buydowns, closing-cost assistance, or other financing structures can change the overall affordability comparison.What should Albuquerque buyers know during the seasonal slowdown?
There may be fewer homes to choose from, but buyers may also face less competition for the homes that are available.What should Albuquerque sellers know right now?
Patience matters. Sellers should look closely at current competition, including nearby new construction and the incentives builders may be offering.Chapters:

23 min - Albuquerque Real Estate Talk Ep. 596: Are Albuquerque Home Prices Dropping? What the Conflicting Data Shows
Albuquerque home-price data is sending mixed signals: one FHFA measure showed a year-over-year decline while other measures showed modest gains, and listing price reductions are rising as the market moves toward fall.
Quick takeaway:
There isn’t one single number that tells the whole Albuquerque housing-market story. Tego and Asel explain why different home-price indexes can disagree, why price reductions become more common this time of year, and why buyers, sellers, and investors need to look at the specific property, data set, and goals.Questions answered:
Are Albuquerque home prices dropping?
Not according to every measure discussed. The episode cites an FHFA purchase-only index down 1.7% year over year while the FHFA all-transactions index was up 2.2%, with other Zillow and MLS-based measures also showing gains.Why can home-price indexes disagree?
Different indexes use different data and methodologies, including purchases, appraisal/refinance information, estimated home values, and MLS sales, so they can produce noticeably different results.Is Albuquerque a good place to buy an investment property?
The episode’s answer is that it depends on the deal and the investor’s goals. Tego and Asel discuss purchase and repair costs, rent, taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, management, financing, cash flow, and net operating income.What do fall price reductions mean for Albuquerque buyers and sellers?
Tego says price reductions typically become more common as activity slows later in the year. Sellers should analyze current competition carefully, while buyers should not assume that an individual listing price cut automatically means overall home values are falling.Chapters:

29 min - Moving to Albuquerque? How to Compare Areas, Commutes & Lifestyle
Relocating to Albuquerque is easier to narrow down when you start with commute, lot size, utilities, housing style and nearby amenities instead of looking only at bedrooms and bathrooms.
Quick takeaway:
The Albuquerque metro offers very different housing and lifestyle options. Tracy Venturi and Kori Bristow explain how they help relocation buyers compare areas based on the buyer’s actual priorities, from commute and acreage to trails, utilities and the type of home they want.Questions answered:
What should you compare when relocating to Albuquerque?
Start with commute, lot size, housing style, utilities, proximity to work or recreation, and how much space you realistically want.Which Albuquerque-area locations might relocation buyers compare?
The conversation includes Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, Placitas, Sandia Park and the East Mountains, Los Lunas, Bosque Farms, Sandia Heights and other metro-area options.Are Albuquerque-area commutes different from what some relocation buyers expect?
Tracy explains that some clients arriving from places with longer commutes are surprised by how many local searches can be narrowed down around a shorter drive, depending on the specific home and destination.Why can touring with a local agent help during a relocation visit?
Tracy and Kori describe using the drive between homes to explain local geography, routes, parks, trails and other location considerations while buyers compare different parts of the metro.Chapters:

31 min - Albuquerque Economic Growth: What It Could Mean for the Housing MarketDescription
Albuquerque economic growth, relocation interest, and housing affordability are intersecting in ways that matter to local home buyers and homeowners, with new employment targets and buyer programs adding another layer to the Albuquerque metro housing conversation.
Quick takeaway:
Tracy and Tego discuss how Albuquerque-area economic development could support long-term housing demand and economic stability while emphasizing that growth also requires enough housing supply. They also cover where online interest in Albuquerque homes is coming from and a newly discussed Housing New Mexico program for qualifying first-time buyers purchasing new construction.Questions answered:
What industries is Albuquerque trying to attract?
The episode says Albuquerque Regional Economic Alliance is focused on sectors including advanced technology, advanced energy, space, aerospace, defense, and bioscience.Where is outside interest in Albuquerque housing coming from?
The hosts cite data showing strong online interest from Phoenix and Denver, along with interest from Santa Fe, Dallas, Los Angeles and other markets.How affordable are Albuquerque-area home values compared with the U.S.?
The episode cites Zillow values showing New Mexico and some Albuquerque-area counties below the stated U.S. typical home value, although Sandoval County was described as the highest-valued of the three local counties discussed.Is there a new first-time-buyer program for new construction in New Mexico?
The hosts discuss a Housing New Mexico/MFA program they call the New Home Rate Advantage program, describing a potential mortgage-rate reduction for qualifying first-time buyers purchasing new construction. Program details should be independently confirmed.Chapters:

28 min - Corrales Home Prices Up 44%? What the Albuquerque Housing Stats Really Mean
Corrales median home sale prices jumped 44% from Q2 2025 to Q2 2026, but that does not mean Corrales home values rose 44%. Tracy and Tego Venturi explain what the Albuquerque-area housing statistics actually show, why the mix of homes sold matters, and why building less-expensive new homes remains difficult.
Quick takeaway:
The Corrales number reflects the median price of the homes that happened to sell—not a 44% increase in every home's value. The conversation also breaks down how land, taxes, fees, regulatory expenses, and construction costs contribute to Albuquerque-area new-home prices.Questions answered:
Did Corrales home values really rise 44% in one year?
No. The 44% figure discussed is the increase in median sale price from $660,000 in Q2 2025 to $950,000 in Q2 2026. Tego explains that a heavier mix of high-end sales pushed that median higher.How much were Corrales home values actually up?
The Zillow-based chart discussed in the episode showed about a 2.5% year-over-year home-value change for Corrales ZIP code 87048.Why is new construction expensive in Albuquerque?
The episode points to costs beyond vertical construction, including land, taxes, fees, regulatory expenses, and site-related costs.Which direction should an Albuquerque home or backyard face?
There isn't one answer for every buyer. Solar exposure, afternoon heat, views, shade, and how you use the outdoor space all matter.Chapters:

28 min - Living in Albuquerque: Monsoon Season, Things to Do, and Housing Tips
Albuquerque living combines high-desert weather, four seasons, local events, outdoor recreation, and a housing market where seller concessions are part of some negotiations.
Quick takeaway:
Tracy and Asel Venturi share practical observations about living in Albuquerque, including monsoon-season home care, evaporative cooling, places to visit, local employment sectors, and what buyers and sellers should understand about concessions.Questions answered:
What is Albuquerque’s monsoon season like for homeowners?
Summer storms often arrive later in the day, and homeowners should watch for roof leaks, pooling water, clogged canales, and gutters that are not directing water away from the foundation.How does an evaporative cooler work in Albuquerque?
An evaporative cooler moves air through wet pads and into the home. A partially opened and secured window or door gives the incoming air an outlet, although performance can decrease when humidity rises.What can visitors do around Albuquerque?
The episode mentions Old Town Plaza, museums, the aquarium, local restaurants, hiking near the tram, Rail Yards Market, Summerfest, soccer, baseball, and other seasonal events.What is a seller concession in real estate?
A seller concession is money or value contributed by a seller to help complete a transaction, such as assistance with buyer closing costs, an interest-rate buydown, an appliance, or consideration in place of a repair.Chapters:
