Residential, Condos

No new builds. Only existing condominium projects in the Town of Taos, Upper Colonias (Quail Ridge and area), and Taos Ski Valley. The first condos in Taos are now dated 1970's. Most have been renovated, some still have the old avocado green and harvest gold color schemes. Taos Ski Valley boosted the average sales price with newer and modern condo projects in recent years.

Currently, it is all about reslae. Units sales hit a low of on 49 condos sold in 2025, matching 2012/13 coming out of the market crash of 2008, (compared to 92 sales in 2012). Unit sales YTD: 16

Land

Building sites <5AC: Due to restrictions, high cost of development and construction, Taos has no new subdivisions, except for beyond UNM. Prices and number of sales are similar to 10-12 years ago. Average sales price is $76,612. This is down from $125,171 (12/31/2025). Pending land parcels are average $97,000. Units sold : 38.

Commercial

Only 2 sales YTD: 1 Business Only. 1 warehouse w land. Most commercial properties are done outside MLS.

Total Market

Sales Volume: The past 4 years have held a consistent sales volume in the 1st 1/2 of the year. Units Sold: With 212 total units sold thru 6/30/26, we might see some consistency with the figures of 2025. Much of the market is returning to a normal Taos market of pre Covid. We will wait until December 31 to see those numbers.
