HOME BUILDING ACTIVITY IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AREA HAS BEEN SLOW FOR YEARS…BUT THERE ARE ENCOURAGING SIGNS. THE MORE THAN 16 HUNDRED BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED IN 2015 WERE THE MOST IN SIX YEARS.
JOHN GARCIA WITH THE H-B-A SAYS ONE KEY FACTOR WAS A RELATIVELY NEW DEVELOPMENT ON ABQ’S WEST SIDE CATERING TO THOSE 55 AND OVER.
GARCIA SAYS MIREHAVEN WAS THE MOST ACTIVE SUBDIVISION IN THE METRO LAST YEAR WITH MORE THAN 130 BUILDING PERMITS. AND HE SAYS THERE’S MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH IN THE RETIREE MARKET.
