 Placitas NM Homes For Sale Welcome to Placitas and Placitas NM Homes For Sale. There is no place like Placitas New Mexico and that is a very good thing!  The Village of Placitas is a small and very old community providing only the very basic necessities, however the surrounding vastness of land, incredible views and sprawling Placitas NM homes for sale is unsurpassed. The community of Placitas NM is quintessential New Mexico.  The peace and serenity of Placitas is evident just on the casual drive east on NM65 from I-25 as you leave the fast pace of Albuquerque far behind.  The gently winding road, the exceptional close up views of the Northern Sandia Mountains and classic Plactias NM homes for sale perched high upon the tops of the rolling hills and defined bluffs. Did I mention views?...

Statistics thus far for 2011 make it appear that homes sales in Placitas, NM may have turned the corner. Average sales prices for single family homes in Placitas had steadily declined from 2007 through 2010, while time on the market had steadily increased. But figures for 2011 year-to-date show a turnaround in these figures. Both in terms of average sales price, and in terms of average dollars per square foot, sales for 2011 are up slightly from the figures for 2010. At the same time, the average time on the market had decreased. See the graphs below for details: Average Sale Prices for Single Family Homes in Placitas Average Price per SF in Placitas Average Days on the Market in Placitas      All data from Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors statistics as of September 5, 2011. ...

I love New Mexico! Yes, there are snowy days here in the desert, especially up in the Sandia Mountains. One of the benefits of living in Albuquerque are the Sandia Mountains just outside of town. There's skiing in the winter and hiking, biking and picnicking in the summer. Sometimes I take my kids up to Huertas Picnic Area just outside Placitas in the spring and we splash around in the mountain runoff. After that we like to go up to Sandia Man Cave up the road. The best part? It's only 25-30 minutes away from where I live near Ventana Ranch. Want to live even closer? Search Scenic Homes for sale in Placitas NM

I took a drive today to Placitas NM to see what sights would capture my attention. I like photographing churches, so I guess it shouldn't come as any surprise that today I stopped at Placitas Presbyterian to snap a few quick shots. Placitas NM is a different kind of place. It's a quaint little village located just north of Albuquerque in the shadows of the Sandia Mountains. The architecture there is a blend of styles both new and old. I love the adobe style buildings of New Mexico. I like the smooth lines, I like the sense of history that the spanish style conveys. I like how the buildings blend into the desert environment. It was nice to take a moment to sit and reflect by the meditation pond. Then it was a quick drive back to Albuquerque to a closing on a house. Check back often if yo...

There were 4 home sales in Placitas NM during January of 2010. The average sales price of these sales was $600,096. The homes were on the market an average of 172 days, or nearly 6 months. Here is a look at a five year history of Placitas NM Homes Sales: As you can see, the number of sales per year has been declining steadily since the peak in 2005. It's really incredible how prices ballooned up in 2006. Prices are continuing to decline. Placitas NM home sales will recover as the economy recovers, but make no mistake, it's too early to talk about a recovery in the housing market.    Search Placitas NM Homes for Sale

Photos courtesy of Rick Meiers, Dry Heat Photography From David Cramer: Hi Everyone, I’m writing to request your assistance. If you have kept up with the news on the status of wild horses throughout the western United States, you know that the Federal Government, and in particular the BLM, has been rounding up thousands of horses from managed wild horse areas. Now it looks imminent that the Placitas horses are soon to be rounded up. Placitans and supporters of the horses have worked hard to protect these animals and have tried to communicate their importance to our community to the local BLM office. As we have received little recognition, and the BLM has been secretive about their plans, another option has been to work with the State of New Mexico to develop an interest in creating a S...

Situated on the very edge of New Mexico wilderness (but still close enough for comfort to the bustle of Albuquerque!) is the small, quaint burg of Placitas, one of the oldest communities in the state.  Situated squarely between Albuquerque and Santa Fe in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, this picturesque hub enjoys a slow place and offers a rich quality of life, wide open spaces, and four distinct seasons without harsh extremes.  Perhaps all of the above is what serves as the irresistible draw for the many artists that choose to make their home here.  Creativity thrives here, and it seems even real estate is affected, as one can find many Placitas, NM homes that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscapes, serving as virtual works of art in themselves.  Once you have experien...

I was writing a description for a home I had listed in Placitas recently and was struggling to find a way to describe the setting.  It finally came to me... it looks like a Georgia O'Keeffe painting.  Yea, I know... but it really fit.  Of course Georgia O'Keeffe painted mainly in northern New Mexico but the terrain and scenery is  very similar.   Speaking of, there are many fine artists living and working in Placitas and there are a few days each year where they open up their home studios for a  studio tour.   Quite fun!The exit to Placitas is only about 10 minutes north of the Albuquerque City limit towards Santa Fe, this community has some nice art galleries and shops in addition to the things mentioned in the description from the Chamber Website.  If you continue on the main road Eas...
