A typical Luna County home listed for $170,000 in June, unchanged from a month earlier, an analysis of data from Realtor.com shows.

The median list home price in June was down about 0.6% from June 2021. Luna County's median home was 1,752 square feet for a listed price of $98 per square foot.

The Luna County market was busy, with a median 44 days on market. A month earlier, homes had a median 46 days on market. The market added 16 new home listings in June, compared with the 20 added in June 2021. The market ended the month with some 30 listings of homes for sale.

The median home prices issued by Realtor.com may exclude much, or even most, of a market's homes. The price and volume represent only homes that are single-family homes, condominums or townhomes. They include existing homes, but exclude most new construction as well as pending and contingent sales.

Information on your local housing market is available through the USA TODAY Network, with more data from Realtor.com.

Across all of New Mexico, median home prices were $363,363, rising 3.8% from a month earlier. The median New Mexico home for sale had 1,998 square feet at list price of $180 per square foot.

Across the United States, median home prices were $450,000, up 0.7% from a month earlier. The median American home for sale had 1,887 square feet, listed at $228 per square foot.

The median home list price — the midway point of all the houses or units listed over a period of time — is used more often in this report instead of the average home list price because experts say the median offers a more accurate view of what's happening in a market. In finding the average price, all prices of homes listed are added and then divided by the number of homes sold. This measure can be skewed by one low or high price.
