There was some good news in December 2014, the number of new listings was down 15.57% compared to December 2013. You may ask why this is good news? Well if the inventory starts to decline it means less homes on the market.

What does all this stuff mean. It means home buyers are in the drivers seat. Too much inventory and not as many buyers means good deals for buyers. Are you selling a home in Rio Rancho? You need to be aware of the "real" price your home will sell for. Price your home competitively or watch it sit on the market for a long time.
Not all foreclosed homes are good deals, however, foreclosed homes are a good place to start when searching for rentals or flips.
