The typical home value in Chaves County is projected to be $236,800 for the month of February. January’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the county to be $234,950—up 30.56% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, state-level data pegged home values at $345,700 in New Mexico for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $339,400 in February.
Chaves County had 46 new listings and 50 listings that went under contract in January, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 142—down 3.4% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in February.
Of those 142 active listings, 25.35% reduced their price in the month of January. The median listing price for homes in Chaves County grew 6.52% from December to January, bringing the current median listing price to $245,000. Based on projected data for February, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract rose year-over-year. In January 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 45 days, compared to 4 days in January 2025. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be falling. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this February.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Casey was an amazing agent. The first home we put an offer in had many red flags that we later found out. In trusting Casey and with going through the process with him we felt very secure knowing that we may need to back off and seek other options for houses in the area. In our (now newly first home) that we found with Casey during our second search, we trusted in his knowledge and insight which we greatly appreciate. Since it is our first home we purchased we felt that Casey guided us through the process in a very smooth manner which we greatly appreciate. We highly recommend Casey to anyone who is looking for a home (either first or second, etc) and wants a trustworthy agent.”
