Price Band Breakdown
Distribution of closed sales by price tier:
Price Range | Sales
Under $300K | 2
$300K–$500K | 1
$500K–$750K | 4
$750K–$1M | 0
Over $1M | 2
What this shows:
• Market activity is centered in the $500K–$750K band, which remains the liquidity core of Taos residential.
• Sub-$300K transactions still exist but are thin and highly competitive.
• Luxury volume is low but impactful on average pricing.
Hot vs Stale Inventory Performance
Using DOM as velocity proxy:
Hot Inventory (≤30 DOM):
• 5 sales
Stale Inventory (90+ DOM):
• 2 sales
Interpretation
More than half of this week's closings came from properties that moved within 30 days — indicating that correctly priced homes are still being absorbed quickly. However, long-tail inventory continues to sit and requires price flexibility to transact.
Seller Concession Proxy (Price Discipline Signal)
Without direct concession data, we use DOM + price tier behavior as proxy:
• High DOM luxury listings suggest growing seller flexibility.
• Mid-range homes under $750K are clearing faster with tighter negotiation windows.
• Entry-level homes remain demand constrained by limited supply rather than pricing pressure.
Weekly Absorption Trendline (Directional)
This week's volume remains moderate but stable, consistent with early summer seasonal momentum:
• Activity concentrated in mid-range housing
• Resort segment slower but still closing high-dollar deals
• No signs of volume collapse — but no overheating signals either
Market Takeaways — Week of June 22–28
Buyers:
• Negotiating leverage exists above $600K.
• Fast-moving opportunities remain in the sub-$750K bracket.
• Patience is rewarded in resort inventory.
Sellers:
• Pricing accuracy matters more than ever.
• Overpricing is extending DOM beyond 90 days in multiple segments.
• Well-prepared listings are still selling inside 30 days.
Macro Signal:
This is a balanced but disciplined market — not distressed, not euphoric. Momentum exists, but buyers are controlling tempo.
