Sunlit Hills Real Estate

Sunlit Hills is a named area within Santa Fe, New Mexico, but it isn't tracked as its own separate city or subdivision field in the MLS data this site pulls from — sales here are folded into the broader Santa Fe market. The closest reliable price anchor is Santa Fe, which posted a median sale price of $665,000 on 1,739 closed sales over the trailing 12 months through August 17, 2026 (SFAR MLS data) — broader-area context, not a Sunlit Hills-specific number. At 4.4 months of inventory, supply and demand are roughly balanced (6 months is the classic equilibrium benchmark).
