Sellers can prep their homes for a spring listing, and buyers can start the pre-approval process now, so everyone is ready when the time comes.
The holiday season tends to slow things down a little in the Albuquerque market, and we see that quieter stretch as the right time to start preparing for 2027. Whether you’re hoping to buy or sell next year, the questions that will shape your move are ones you can start asking today.
Sellers can start preparing before spring. If you’re thinking about putting your house on the market in the spring, there’s no need to wait until then to get started. We’d love to set an appointment to come tour your house and give you some ideas on things you can do to improve it now. Getting those projects done over the next few months means you’ll be ready when it's time to list, instead of scrambling at the last minute.
Prepare now so that when the time comes, you’re ready and you’re not scrambling.
Buyers should start pre-approval early. Interest rates can look a little scary at times, but getting pre-approved can take some time, so it helps to start the process well before you plan to shop.
Talk with a local lender now. If you have questions about the pre-approval process, Chris Maxwell at CrossCountry Mortgage is a great local lender we work with. He’d be happy to sit down with you and go over what you’d need, along with what he’s seeing in lending right now. He can also walk you through what you’d have to bring to closing. These are great questions to think about as the new year gets closer.
If you’re getting ready to buy or sell, our team would love to sit down with you and talk through your plans for 2027. Call us at (505) 620-2549, email steven@nmhomedeals.com, or visit nmhomedeals.com to set an appointment. We’re happy to help you get ready.
