Data source & methodology: Closed-sale and active-listing statistics computed from board-direct SFAR + SWMLS MLS records for Placitas, New Mexico, subdivision/neighborhood-level geographic bin (SFAR `subdivision` / SWMLS `mls_area` proxy, cross-board de-duplicated), snapshot August 17, 2026. New Mexico is a non-disclosure state: only aggregate sold statistics (medians, counts, ratios, days on market) are published here — never an individual sale price. Statistics below a floor of 20 sold records in the trailing 12-month window, or under 5% of subdivision inventory, are suppressed rather than estimated (this subdivision cleared that floor). This subdivision is on the SWMLS/flexmls (Albuquerque-metro) board, which does not expose an Original List Price field in the data grid, so the headline pricing metric here is the under/at/over-final-asking-price split rather than percent of original asking price.
