Welcome to Episode 560 of Albuquerque Real Estate Talk! 🦃 Tego and Tracy Venturi dive into the end-of-year real estate market, discuss why people aren't moving, and break down the big economic news hitting Sandoval County.

We’re giving thanks for the ability to help over 4,000 families with their real estate goals and reminding everyone that homeownership is one of the best ways to build generational wealth.

Creative Deals & Financing Solutions: We're seeing a lot of creative deal-making—seller financing, trades, and out-of-the-box contracts. We also explain the difference between assumable mortgages (VA, FHA, USDA) and the new idea of Portable Mortgages that lets you take your low interest rate with you to a new property.

The 2026 Forecast is Here: Tego breaks down the latest economic outlook from NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Hu:

New Mexico home values are up over 58% in the last five years.

The 2026 forecast projects a 14% increase in home sales and 4% price appreciation nationwide.

The long-term value of ownership remains strong: homeowners' net worth is $430,000 versus $10,000 for renters.

BIG NEWS for Rio Rancho Housing: A major company is building a hypersonic missile manufacturing facility in unincorporated Sandoval County (Rio Rancho Estates). This site is expected to bring around 1,000 permanent, high-paying jobs to the area , making new construction properties in the Northwest a strong investment opportunity.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
