Week Ending August 9, 2026

Opening Summary

Taos County closed more properties this week but sold fewer homes. The weekly activity view showed 13 total closings across all property classes: 8 residential sales and 5 land sales. The increase from 11 total closings came entirely from land. Weekly residential closings declined from 9 to 8. New listings increased to 32, pending contracts eased to 58, price adjustments increased to 42, and expired listings fell sharply to 13 after the prior week’s spike.

The important number is not the weekly headline. The corrected four-week residential closing count fell to 37 while active residential inventory declined only slightly to 424. That combination pushed countywide residential months of supply back into double digits at 11.5, up from the 9.3 reading published last week. Absorption weakened; inventory did not surge.

The core-versus-resort gap widened. Core county loosened to 8.8 months of supply on 229 active listings and 26 corrected four-week sales. Resort markets loosened much faster, moving to 17.7 months on 195 active listings and 11 corrected four-week sales. Resort markets now carry roughly twice the months of supply found in the core county market.

Weekly residential pricing dropped, but the drop is a mix effect. The weekly median fell to $385,000 and the weekly average fell to $512,313, against a prior week that contained a $2.4 million closing. This week’s highest residential sale was $1,100,000, and only eight homes closed. The steadier four-week measures moved the other way: the rolling median rose to $589,000 and the rolling average rose to $655,653. This is a lower-priced weekly closing mix, not evidence that county home values fell by $204,000.

Inventory age continues to deteriorate. Median active DOM increased to 265, average active DOM increased to 306.5, and the pool of listings active more than one year grew from 111 to 115 even as total inventory declined by two. The small inventory contraction came from somewhere other than the oldest listings.

Executive Market Summary

Buyer leverage increased in Taos County this week. Residential absorption weakened, months of supply returned to double digits, and the geographic split between core and resort markets widened.

The all-class closing total rose from 11 to 13, but that increase is a land story. Land closings increased from 2 to 5 while weekly residential closings declined from 9 to 8. Reading 13 closings as broad housing-market improvement would misstate what happened.

The rolling residential view is where the change is real. The current close-date-adjusted four-week series shows 37 residential closings, down 10 from a revised comparable prior-window count of 47. Against 424 active residential listings, that produces 11.5 months of countywide supply, compared with the 9.3 months published last week. Active inventory declined by only two listings over the same period, so the widening in months of supply reflects weaker absorption rather than an inventory surge.

Core county remains the more functional half of the market, but it loosened. Core has 229 active listings, 26 corrected four-week sales, and 8.8 months of supply, up from 7.4. Resort markets loosened further and faster: 195 active listings, 11 corrected four-week sales, and 17.7 months of supply, up from 13.1. The resort side also carries the older inventory, with a median active DOM of 304 and an average active DOM of 341.1.

Weekly pricing is the most sample-sensitive figure in this report. The weekly median declined from $589,000 to $385,000 and the weekly average declined from $855,889 to $512,313, but the prior week included a $2.4 million sale and this week’s maximum was $1,100,000 across only eight closings. The rolling four-week measures did not follow the weekly decline: the rolling median increased from $572,000 to $589,000 and the rolling average increased from $631,547 to $655,653. Rolling DOM also improved, with median DOM falling from 85 to 67 and average DOM from 140.6 to 123.2.

Seller-side conditions are mixed but less constructive than last week. New listings increased from 27 to 32, adding competition. Price adjustments increased from 38 to 42, showing more sellers changing asking prices. Expired listings fell from 27 to 13, which normalizes the prior week’s spike rather than signaling renewed seller strength. The median list-to-sale ratio is 93.96% across 635 sampled residential sales, so negotiation remains a standard part of closing.

Inventory age is still the structural weakness. Only 42 active residential listings, about 9.9%, have been on the market for 90 days or less. The 181–365 day bucket holds 186 listings, and the 365-plus pool grew to 115. This is a market where buyers have both choice and time.

Land activity improved off a very low base. Five land sales closed this week compared with two last week, at a median of $47,000 and an average of $50,800. With 706 active land listings, the segment remains structurally oversupplied.

Expired Listings: 13

4-Week Residential Closings: 37

Residential Months of Supply: 11.5

The defining signal this week is weaker residential absorption. All-class closings rose to 13, but that came from land. Residential closings fell to 8, the corrected four-week residential count fell to 37, and months of supply moved back above 10 for the first time in three weeks. Active inventory barely moved, which is why the supply figure widened.

Countywide supply widened from the 9.3 months published last week to 11.5 months. Core county moved from 7.4 to 8.8 months as rolling sales fell from 31 to 26 against a nearly unchanged 229 active listings. Resort markets moved from 13.1 to 17.7 months as rolling sales fell from 15 to 11 against 195 active listings.

Both sides of the county loosened, but not equally. Core absorption weakened by roughly a month and a half of supply; resort absorption weakened by more than four and a half months. The structural divide is now wider than at any point in recent weeks, with resort markets carrying nearly twice the months of supply found in core county.

Market Pulse — This Week

This week recorded 13 total property closings across all classes. Residential accounted for 8 sales and land accounted for 5. No commercial or multi-use closings appeared in the weekly activity view.

Compared with the prior week, total closings increased from 11 to 13, residential closings declined from 9 to 8, and land closings increased from 2 to 5. New listings rose from 27 to 32, pending contracts eased from 59 to 58, price adjustments increased from 38 to 42, and expired listings fell from 27 to 13.

The all-class total moved up while the housing market moved down. Land supplied all of the weekly gain, and land is the county’s most oversupplied segment, so five closings against 706 active listings does not change the leverage picture. On the residential side, fewer homes closed, more homes were listed, and more sellers changed price. The sharp drop in expirations is genuine relief from last week’s reading, but it reflects a smaller batch of listings reaching the end of their terms rather than stronger demand.

Closed Sales — Residential: 8

Closed Sales — Land: 5

Closed Sales — All Classes: 13

New Listings: 32

Pending Contracts — Under Contract: 58

Price Adjustments: 42

Expired Listings: 13

Pending Inventory — Pipeline Snapshot

Pending activity represents the current contract pipeline, not a count of guaranteed future closings.

Under Contract — Weekly Activity: 58

Total Pending Inventory: 286

The weekly activity view recorded 58 pending contracts, down by one from 59 in the prior report. That is effectively flat and ends two consecutive weeks of increases. Total pending inventory across the market stands at 286 contracts.

Pending contracts still need to clear inspection, financing, appraisal, title, and other contingencies. Read this count as a measure of active buyer interest, not as a closing forecast. Given that rolling closings fell this week, a steady pipeline is a modest stabilizer rather than a signal of renewed acceleration.

Pricing — Residential Sales This Week

Residential Sales This Week: 8

Median Sale Price: $385,000

Average Sale Price: $512,313

Weekly Price Range: $112,500–$1,100,000

Median Days on Market: 65

Average Days on Market: 76.3

This week’s residential pricing is based on 8 sales. The median declined from $589,000 to $385,000 and the average declined from $855,889 to $512,313.

Those declines are mix effects, not a measured drop in county home values. The prior week’s sample included a $2.4 million closing that pulled both the average and the middle of the distribution upward. This week the highest residential sale was $1,100,000, the lowest was $112,500, and only eight homes closed. An eight-sale sample cannot support a claim that countywide prices fell by $204,000 in seven days.

The geographic split explains most of the weekly move. Core county recorded 4 sales with a median of $585,000, while resort markets recorded 4 sales with a median of $355,000. The countywide weekly median lands between the two because the sample was evenly divided between a higher-priced core group and a lower-priced resort group.

Weekly DOM improved. Median DOM fell from 66 to 65, and average DOM fell from 96.8 to 76.3. The homes that did close this week moved faster than last week’s closings, which is a genuine positive inside an otherwise softer week.

Rolling Four-Week Context — The Market Behind the Week

Total Residential Closings — 4 Weeks: 37

4-Week Median Sale Price: $589,000

4-Week Average Sale Price: $655,653

4-Week Median Days on Market: 67

4-Week Average Days on Market: 123.2

The corrected four-week residential closing count is 37, down 10 from the revised comparable prior-window count of 47. Against 424 active residential listings, that produces 11.5 months of supply and returns the county to double-digit residential supply.

This is the meaningful change in this report. It is not the weekly closing sample and not the weekly price move. Rolling transaction volume fell materially while inventory held nearly flat, and months of supply widened as a result. One rolling window is not a durable trend, and this reading should not be treated as evidence of a long-term decline, but it is a real deterioration in absorption that buyers and sellers should price into their expectations.

Rolling pricing moved in the opposite direction from weekly pricing. The four-week median increased from $572,000 to $589,000, and the rolling average increased from $631,547 to $655,653. Rolling DOM improved on both measures, with median DOM falling from 85 to 67 and average DOM from 140.6 to 123.2. Fewer homes closed over the four-week window, but the ones that closed were higher-priced and moved faster than the prior window’s mix.

Core County — Residential Inventory Structure

Active Residential Listings: 229

Listings Above $500,000: 123

Listings Below $400,000: 78

Median Active List Price: $535,000

Average Active Days on Market: 276.8

Median Active Days on Market: 248

Core county loosened this week. Active inventory declined by one listing to 229, but corrected four-week residential sales fell from 31 to 26. Core months of supply widened from 7.4 to 8.8. Transaction volume fell faster than inventory, which is the entire source of the change.

This remains the more functional half of the county residential market, and 8.8 months is still meaningfully better than the resort side. But the core inventory is not fresh. Median active DOM increased to 248, average active DOM increased to 276.8, and only 20 core listings — about 8.7% — have been active for 90 days or less. Another 47 core listings have been on the market for more than one year.

Structural Observations — Core County

Two- and three-bedroom homes remain the center of core inventory, with 81 active 2-bedroom homes and 87 active 3-bedroom homes. The upper end is still substantial: 46 core listings are priced at $1 million or more, which is one in five active core listings.

The strongest core segment is $600K–$699K, with 13 active listings against 4 corrected four-week sales, producing 3.3 months of supply. The $800K–$899K band follows at 4.3 months on 13 active listings and 3 rolling sales. The $300K–$399K band remains solid at 5.3 months on 37 active listings and 7 rolling sales.

Two bands loosened materially. The $400K–$499K band moved to 27.0 months of supply on 27 active listings and a single rolling sale. The $1M–$1.49M band moved to 22.0 months on 22 active listings and a single rolling sale, a sharp reversal from the 11.0 months recorded a week earlier. Those two bands account for 49 active core listings against two rolling transactions.

Core county did not tighten across the board this week, and it would be wrong to read the 8.8-month headline as evenly distributed. Demand is concentrated in the $600K–$699K, $800K–$899K, and $300K–$399K lanes. Above $900,000 and in the $400K–$499K range, buyers face very little competition.

Applying This to Your Own Search

For buyers, leverage improved this week. Countywide supply moved back above 10 months, both geographic segments loosened, and inventory continues to age. That combination widens the negotiating window, particularly on listings that have been exposed for months.

The strongest negotiating positions are in the slow bands. Countywide, the $700K–$799K band sits at 34.0 months of supply, $400K–$499K at 22.5 months, and $900K–$999K at 17.0 months. In resort markets, four price bands recorded no rolling sale at all. Across the county, 115 residential listings have been active for more than one year and the average active DOM is above 300 days.

The exceptions matter too. The $600K–$699K core band at 3.3 months, the $800K–$899K core band at 4.3 months, and the $1M–$1.49M resort band at 3.0 months are moving far faster than the countywide headline. Well-positioned listings in those segments will not behave like an 11.5-month market. The resort luxury figure in particular rests on four transactions and should be treated as a narrow pocket rather than a market-wide condition.

For sellers, this was a week of added pressure. More listings entered the market, more sellers adjusted price, and rolling closings fell. The drop in expirations is welcome but does not offset weaker absorption. Pricing accuracy, condition, presentation, and segment fit are what separate the homes that close from the homes that join the 365-day pool.

The $600K–$699K band is the clearest core strength at 3.3 months of supply, followed by $800K–$899K at 4.3 months and $300K–$399K at 5.3 months. Those three bands account for 14 of the 26 corrected four-week core sales.

The slow bands are slower than last week. The $400K–$499K band moved from 13.5 to 27.0 months, and the $1M–$1.49M band moved from 11.0 to 22.0 months. Both changes came from a single rolling sale each rather than from inventory growth, so the readings are volatile. The direction is still clear: core absorption weakened this week, and it weakened unevenly across the price spectrum.

Listings Below $400,000: 79

Resort absorption weakened sharply. Active inventory declined by one listing to 195, but corrected four-week sales fell from 15 to 11. Resort months of supply widened from 13.1 to 17.7, a move of more than four and a half months in a single reading.

The resort inventory is also the oldest inventory in the county. Median active DOM increased to 304, average active DOM increased to 341.1, and 68 resort listings have been on the market for more than one year. Only 22 resort listings — about 11.3% — have been active for 90 days or less. Buyers in Angel Fire, Red River, Taos Ski Valley, and Eagle Nest have both the widest selection and the most time.

Structural Observations — Resort Markets

The resort market is now split between one active pocket and a large inactive middle. The under-$300K segment remains the largest single concentration, with 55 active listings against 2 corrected four-week sales, producing 27.5 months of supply. That band alone holds 28% of resort inventory.

Four resort price bands recorded no current rolling sale: $600K–$699K, $700K–$799K, $800K–$899K, and $900K–$999K. Together those bands hold 50 active listings, roughly a quarter of resort inventory, with zero transactions in the rolling window. That is the clearest picture of where resort demand is absent.

The exception is the $1M–$1.49M band, which recorded 4 corrected four-week sales against 12 active listings, producing 3.0 months of supply. That is the tightest reading anywhere in this report, and it should be read carefully. Four transactions in a 12-listing band produces a low number by arithmetic; it does not establish that the resort luxury market as a whole is tight. The $1.5M-plus band directly above it sits at 13.0 months.

Resort absorption weakened more sharply than core absorption this week, and the resort side entered the week with older inventory and a higher supply base. The geographic divide in Taos County is now the dominant structural feature of the residential market.

The $1M–$1.49M band is the only resort segment with genuinely fast absorption at 3.0 months, and it rests on four transactions. Every other resort band with a rolling sale sits at 12.0 months or higher.

The weakest readings are under $300K at 27.5 months and $500K–$599K at 23.0 months. Four bands from $600K through $999K produced no rolling sale at all. Resort demand exists, but this week it was concentrated almost entirely in one narrow upper band.

Countywide Residential Inventory Structure

Active Residential Listings: 424

Listings Above $500,000: 221

Listings Below $400,000: 157

Median Active List Price: $535,000

Average Active Days on Market: 306.5

Median Active Days on Market: 265

Countywide residential inventory declined by two listings to 424. Listings priced above $500,000 account for 221 active homes, while 157 listings are priced below $400,000. Core county holds 229 of the total and resort markets hold 195.

The inventory base aged again. Median active DOM increased from 261 to 265, and average active DOM increased from 302.4 to 306.5. Approximately 9.9% of active residential inventory has been listed for 90 days or less, while 115 listings have been active for more than one year.

The corrected four-week sales count fell to 37, widening countywide months of supply to 11.5. Because active inventory fell by only two listings over the same period, the supply increase is an absorption story rather than an inventory story.

Only 42 active residential listings have been on the market for 90 days or less, representing approximately 9.9% of active supply.

The largest inventory-age bucket remains 181–365 days, with 186 listings. The 365-plus pool grew from 111 to 115 even though total inventory declined from 426 to 424. That combination means the market did not clear its oldest listings this week. Whatever left the active pool came from the newer or mid-aged buckets, and the inventory base got older as a result.

Land Market — Supply Structure

Active Land Listings: 706

Weekly Land Closings: 5

Weekly Median Land Sale Price: $47,000

Weekly Average Land Sale Price: $50,800

Weekly Land Price Range: $30,000–$84,000

Average Land DOM: 579.6

Land closings improved from 2 to 5 this week, the strongest weekly land figure in several weeks. Against 706 active land listings, five closings still represent a fraction of one percent of available inventory.

The weekly land sales closed between $30,000 and $84,000, with a median of $47,000 and an average of $50,800. The DOM figures reveal how the sample was composed: median DOM was 80 days while average DOM was 579.6 days. That gap means at least one of the five parcels had been on the market for years before closing. The typical land transaction this week was not slow; one or more very old listings pulled the average sharply upward.

The land inventory base remains concentrated in lower-priced parcels and smaller acreage categories. The under-$50,000 band contains 200 active listings, and the 1–5 acre category contains 325 listings.

Land Market Interpretation

The under-$50,000 band remains the largest land price segment, with 200 active listings. The 1–5 acre category remains the dominant acreage group, with 325 listings. Land priced below $300,000 accounts for 604 active listings, keeping the market heavily weighted toward lower-priced inventory.

Inventory shifted between cells this week even though the countywide land total held at 706. The $200K–$299,999 band grew from 80 to 82 listings, while the $300K–$399,999 band declined from 37 to 35.

Rolling land-supply signals remain firmly buyer-favoring:

• Under $50K: 200 active, 6 rolling sales, 33.3 months of supply

• $50K–$74,999: 103 active, 2 rolling sales, 51.5 months of supply

• $75K–$99,999: 79 active, 2 rolling sales, 39.5 months of supply

• $100K–$199,999: 140 active, 1 rolling sale, 140.0 months of supply

• $200K–$299,999: 82 active with no rolling sales

• Every land band from $300K through $699,999 recorded no rolling sale

• The $700K–$799,999 band has 3 active listings and 1 rolling sale, producing 3.0 months of supply on a single transaction

• Every land band from $800K upward recorded no current rolling sale

The under-$50,000 band improved from 50.0 to 33.3 months of supply as rolling sales rose from 4 to 6, and the $75K–$99,999 band improved from 79.0 to 39.5 months. Those are real improvements, but they start from extreme levels and do not change the structural read.

There are narrow acreage-level exceptions. Under-$50,000 parcels in the 20–50 acre category calculate at 1 month of supply on a single active listing and a single sale, and under-$50,000 parcels in the 10–20 acre category calculate at 6 months. The $700K–$799,999 band in the 1–5 acre category calculates at 2 months. These are very small-count signals and do not change the broader oversupply picture.

With 706 active listings and 5 weekly closings, land remains the clearest structural oversupply segment in Taos County. Sellers in this segment compete against hundreds of substitutes, and pricing discipline is the only reliable path to a closing.

Data Notes

Weekly activity reflects the available report-week activity view. Rolling trend and months-of-supply figures are close-date adjusted as later all-sold data backfills into the historical record.

The prior published report showed 46 rolling four-week residential closings. Close-date history continued to backfill after that report was published, and the comparable prior window in the current corrected series is 47. The current window stands at 37, so the close-date-adjusted series declined by 10 closings. Both figures are correct for the data available when each was produced; the current series is the better basis for comparison.

Withdrawn activity was not included in this week’s public activity summary.

Two active residential listings did not have a usable days-on-market value and are shown separately in the inventory-age table so the table reconciles to the 424 active total.

Weekly land pricing is reported this week because the land sample contained 5 sales. The average land days-on-market figure is heavily influenced by one or more long-exposed parcels and should be read alongside the median.

Final Take

Taos County recorded more closings and less housing-market absorption. That is the week in one sentence.

The weekly view showed 13 total closings: 8 residential and 5 land. The all-class increase came from land. Corrected four-week residential closings fell to 37 against 424 active homes, producing 11.5 months of countywide residential supply.

The important shifts are structural:

• weekly residential closings declined from 9 to 8

• weekly land closings increased from 2 to 5

• rolling residential closings fell to 37, down 10 from a revised comparable prior window of 47

• countywide months of supply widened to 11.5 from the 9.3 published last week

• active residential inventory declined only slightly, from 426 to 424

• core county loosened to 8.8 months of supply

• resort markets loosened to 17.7 months of supply

• pending contracts eased from 59 to 58

• price adjustments increased from 38 to 42

• expired listings fell from 27 to 13

• new listings increased from 27 to 32

• the weekly median residential price fell to $385,000 on an eight-sale sample

• the corrected four-week median rose to $589,000 and the rolling average rose to $655,653

• rolling median DOM improved from 85 to 67

• the $800K–$899K band is the strongest countywide segment at 6.3 months, on three rolling sales

• the $700K–$799K band is the slowest countywide segment at 34.0 months

• four resort price bands recorded no rolling sale

• only about 9.9% of active residential inventory has been listed for 90 days or less

• 115 residential listings have been active for more than one year, up from 111

• the median list-to-sale ratio is 93.96%, showing continued negotiation

• land remains deeply oversupplied, with 706 active listings against 5 weekly closings

The practical read is that buyer leverage increased. Residential absorption weakened on both sides of the county, months of supply returned to double digits, and the inventory base aged further. The resort market in particular is now clearing at a pace that gives buyers substantial time and choice.

This is one rolling window, not a verdict on the year. Rolling counts move, and a single four-week reading should not be extrapolated into a durable decline. But the direction is unambiguous this week, and the countywide price data does not contradict it in either direction: the weekly median fell on sample composition while the steadier four-week price measures firmed. Sellers should plan for a slower market and price accordingly. Buyers have more room than they did a week ago.

How many homes sold in Taos County this week?

Eight residential properties sold in the weekly activity view. Thirteen properties closed across all classes, consisting of 8 residential sales and 5 land sales. The increase in total closings came from land; residential closings declined from 9 to 8.

The weekly median residential sale price was $385,000, based on only 8 sales. The corrected four-week median was $589,000, up from $572,000. The weekly figure fell largely because the prior week included a $2.4 million closing while this week’s highest sale was $1,100,000.

Is the Taos real estate market favoring buyers or sellers?

Buyer leverage increased this week. Countywide residential supply widened to 11.5 months, with 424 active listings and an unusually old inventory profile. Core county at 8.8 months remains more functional than resort markets at 17.7 months.

How much residential inventory is available in Taos County?

There are 424 active residential listings. Of those, 221 are priced above $500,000 and 157 are priced below $400,000. The median active list price is $535,000.

What does months of supply mean?

Months of supply estimates how long it would take to sell the current active inventory at the recent pace of sales. Taos County currently has 11.5 months of residential supply, which returns the market to double-digit supply and gives buyers meaningful choice and leverage.

How are core county and resort markets different?

Core county has 229 active listings, 26 corrected four-week sales, and 8.8 months of supply. Resort markets have 195 active listings, 11 corrected four-week sales, and 17.7 months of supply. Both loosened this week, but resort absorption weakened far more sharply.

Which residential price band is moving fastest?

Countywide, the $800K–$899K band is the strongest calculated segment at 6.3 months of supply, though it rests on only three rolling sales. The $300K–$399K and $1M–$1.49M bands follow at 6.8 months. In core county, the $600K–$699K band is fastest at 3.3 months. In resort markets, the $1M–$1.49M band calculates at 3.0 months on four transactions.

Why did the weekly median sale price fall so sharply?

The weekly median fell from $589,000 to $385,000, but that reflects the composition of eight closings rather than a countywide drop in home values. The prior week contained a $2.4 million sale; this week’s maximum was $1,100,000. The steadier four-week median actually increased, from $572,000 to $589,000.

Why did months of supply increase to 11.5?

Rolling four-week residential closings fell to 37 while active inventory declined by only two listings, from 426 to 424. Because sales fell much faster than inventory, months of supply widened from the 9.3 published last week to 11.5. This is a weaker-absorption result, not an inventory surge.

What is happening in the Taos land market?

The land market remains structurally oversupplied, with 706 active listings. Five land sales closed this week, up from two, ranging from $30,000 to $84,000 with a median of $47,000. The largest concentration is under $50,000, and the largest acreage category is 1–5 acres.

Why do weekly sales and rolling four-week sales differ?

Weekly sales show what closed in the report-week activity view. Rolling four-week sales use close-date history across a broader window, allowing later broker-reported sales to be assigned to their actual closing dates. The rolling view is the better measure of absorption.
