As we move into late winter and look toward spring, I’m honored to introduce myself as the incoming President of the Enchanted Circle Association of REALTORS®. This role is one I take seriously, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve an association that represents such a diverse and distinctive region.

Real estate in the Enchanted Circle is not onesize-fits-all. From Taos adobe homes and historic properties to mountain cabins, second homes, and investment opportunities, our market reflects the character and creativity of the people who live here. Taos style, in particular, continues to draw buyers who value authenticity, craftsmanship, and a strong sense of place. These homes are not just properties, they’re part of a lifestyle shaped by art, history, and the land itself.

Market activity in early 2026 is steady and thoughtful. Buyers are more informed, inventory has improved in many segments, and sellers are adapting to a more balanced environment. Well-priced homes with unique features, quality construction, and strong location continue to perform well. While interest rates remain a factor, motivated buyers and sellers are finding common ground.

As president, my focus will be on supporting our members through education, advocacy, and professionalism, while protecting the integrity of real estate in our region. Our REALTORS® are local experts, and that knowledge matters.

As we head into spring, I’m optimistic about the year ahead and proud to serve this remarkable community.

WILD WEST, WHOLE HEART JOSEPHINE ESQUIBEL

by Emily Collins

Josephine Esquibel didn’t come to Taos with a plan. She arrived the way many people do—by feel, an insistence that fate kept nudging her west. Such assurance shows up most clearly in her business, Wild West Realty. Esquibel didn’t want to keep paying heavy broker splits or absorb other people’s ideas of success. She wanted to “go rogue” and do it her way. With a creative eye for detail and a passion for people, Esquibel has established herself as both a proactive Taos citizen and a real estate agent excited to help others land.

Wild West Realty began in March 2024 just four years after Esquibel earned her real estate license. Wild West is her own “mom and pop,” as she puts it, built to reflect her personality and values. After paying significant money to brokers and feeling ready to “go on my own,” she filed for her LLC in 2023, saved what she could, and launched the business while caring for her fourth child. She runs it largely from home, keeping overhead down by doing most things herself.

“I make my own signs. I make my own cards… I don’t really outsource anything.” The brand is unmistakably hers: bold, western, and personal. She chose the name because it “portrays me as a person.” Her logo is a cowgirl on horseback with the mountains glowing behind her. More than a name, it’s a Western language: big skies, grit, and motion.

But smart marketing isn’t what keeps her clients coming back. It’s her values. Esquibel says she has “a therapist personality,” and she treats home buying as the emotional event that it is, not merely a transaction. She prepares clients for the ups and downs of purchasing a home, and frames her job as carrying the stress for them. “I am here to take on that pressure,” she says. “That’s my job.”

Growing up, Esquibel didn’t set out to be a broker. She was finishing a degree in accounting when she decided to journey into real estate parttime. What started as a side gig turned serious during the pandemic market surge.

“Real estate chose me,” she says. Her first showings were a crash course into the Northern New Mexico real estate realm. She navigated Taos Ski Valley condos, keeping clients on schedule, and finding her place in a competitive landscape. Add young children at home, and the learning curve turned steep quick. She admits to feeling like “the underdog” during that time, and she’ll still work “60-hour weeks” while balancing time with family.

Yet those early, difficult days also clarified what kind of business she wanted to run: organized, direct, and deeply human. Taos real estate often comes with a history lesson. Over time, Esquibel has become immersed in the deeper culture: land fought over for centuries, water rights, the “2,000-year-old system,” and

the way local communities function. She and her husband recently moved onto his family’s land, which they’ve held for 500 years. She loves the “festivities at the pueblo,” the care people show each other, and the “small town vibes” that make visitors want to “refresh their spirit.”

That community care is also part of her business mission. She talks about negotiations that are grounding and realistic, helping first-time buyers, including younger clients, navigate an overwhelming process. She’s also affiliated with Heroes for Homes

Connection, an organization that offers reduced commissions, rebates, discounts, and more for community workers, from educators and hospital staff to police, firefighters, and support roles.

Wild West’s next chapter is growth without losing sight of what counts. Esquibel has hired her first associate broker, Victoria Gallegos, and hopes to mentor more agents while keeping her vision intact: stay organized and care deeply. Don’t give up, and build something that looks like the community you love.

Taos Real Estate Market Report

Full Year 2026 (Jan 1 - Dec 31)

For the full year 2025, sales of Single-Family Homes were in an uptrend compared to 2024, while Condos and Land were down. With the almost constant barrage of negative news, and persistent uncertainty about the economy, people were not very motivated to buy real estate.

Call me for a free market analysis of the value of your property, and a consultation about the market and the selling process.

2023 ended the year with sales well below 2022 in all categories of property. Both the number of closed sales and the dollar volume were down. The red-hot market of 2020-2022 was bound to cool off at some time, and 2023 was it. The sharp spike in interest rates, worries about inflation and the economy, and the scary geopolitical situation, combined to dampen buyer enthusiasm for real estate investments. 2024 should see the market regain momentum, as interest rates have begun to decline and the long-anticipated recession seems to be not happening.

SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES – Despite the negativity noted above, unit sales for the year were up 11% compared to 2024, as the market rebounded from two years of declining sales. Dollar sales were up 17%. Median price was up 4% and average price was up 5%. The supply of homes listed for sale has increased substantially from the previous year. Buyers can be “choosier” these days; if they don’t see a house they really like---and at a reasonable price---they don’t buy.

Call me for a free market analysis of the value of your property, and a consultation about the market and the selling process.

SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES – Unit sales were 29% fewer than last year. Dollar sales were down 31%. Median price was about the same (+1%), and average price was down 3%. The rapid price rises of 20%-25% per year during the 2020-2022 market surge were unsustainable. However, there is still more demand than supply, with the inventory of homes listed for sale the lowest it has been in many years; therefore, prices should remain fairly firm.

CONDOS – For the full year, unit sales were down 37% compared to last year. This was mainly due to lack of inventory---there were very few condos available for purchase. Dollar sales were down 25%. Median and average prices were actually up 17% and 19%, respectively, due to the acute shortage of inventory.

CONDOS – For the past year, unit sales were down 13% vs. the year before, at 49 vs. 56 condos sold. Dollar sales were down 14%. Median price of $380,000 was $17,300 less than last year (-4%), and average price of $420,800 was down $8,300 (-2%). Unlike single-family homes, Condo inventory has not increased much. This has been a limiting factor on sales, as buyers don’t have much to choose from.

LAND – In 2025, the number of sales decreased sharply, from 186 to 134 tracts sold (-28%). Total dollar sales were up 11% as median price gained $17,300 (11%), and average price increased $66,700 (54%). However, 2025 had proportionately more sales of higher-priced lots than in 2024. There is much more supply than demand, and the general price level is not rising as much as the

LAND – The number of sales was down 20% compared to last year. Dollar sales were down 21%, with median price down 5% and average price down 2%. The high cost to build a home, as well as the long time it would take (due to builders’ backlog of contracts) are affecting buyer interest in land. However, with the inventory of homes and condos

Dante-Bliss Grayson: A celebration of culture swathed in warrior wool

Dante-Bliss Grayson was born and raised in the Land of Enchantment. Originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico has always shaped who he is as an artist and as a person. After many years overseas in the war zones, he and his family eventually made their

way to Taos because it felt like the right place to root themselves.

“There’s something about the land, the light, and the community here that immediately felt like home,” said Grayson about knowing he belonged here.

Grayson’s work in art and fashion

is driven by storytelling and by his Osage heritage. He feels driven by the resilience and beauty of Indigenous communities, and prioritizes incorporating those stories into a contemporary space where they can be felt, worn, and shared. To him, the root of all fulfillment lies in

connection; when someone resonates with a piece or feels seen in it, that is where the heart of his work lies.

With the Sky-Eagle Fashion Collection, Grayson creates pieces that are centered around meaning. Every design begins with a story, whether it’s from history, family, or the present moment. And sharing those stories through fashion— while collaborating with other Indigenous creators and uplifting their voices—continues to be a source of joy for Grayson. His most recent project was founding the International Indigenous Fashion Council, where the board will be advocating for indigenous rights, labor protections, and ethical supply chains on a global scale.

To him, Taos is a special place because it blends creativity, tradition, and openness.

“There’s a deep sense of respect here, for the land, for culture, for craft, and that gives me space to create with purpose. Being part of this community has helped me find my place both artistically and personally,” said Grayson. “If you listen carefully, you might just find that the land is healing…”

Taos Ski Week

Six days out of the year, Taos Ski Valley is the only ski area in the northern hemisphere that offers week-long lesson programs, aptly named Taos Ski Weeks. There are multiple programmed “ski weeks” such as Women's Ski Week and Race Week, which feature six consecutive morning lessons at a reasonable price, and are a great way to explore the mountain, train

your skills, and find other black diamond lovers (the slopes or the coffee house, I’ll let you decide). These training weeks occur as soon as the snow falls. This season’s ski weeks are Dec. 14-19, Jan. 25-30, and Feb. 22-27. Each week offers focused coaching for various levels and styles. Whether you’re visiting on the Ikon Pass or riding on a Taos pass, the ski camp packs the

days full with personalized lessons, fitting skiers and instructors with their best matches. Every skier, from beginner to steep experts, has something to learn, as the lessons are designed to boost confidence and take your skills to the next level. No one departs from ski week without noticing an improvement in their turns.

Taos Winter Market Gathering

Creator Diane came out of retirement when she saw there was no place for the community to gather, on a regular basis, in the winter for free. The Anglada Building, built in 1921, has always been a home for community events, whether it was roller skating or dancing. She decided to start holding her own events every Saturday from 10a.m. to 2 p.m. from Nov. 15 to April 4. It begins with a blessing at 10 a.m., offered by an indigenous person or Diane, and afterwards the attendees form a hand-held circle to connect with each other. Before it breaks, Diane says, "Let's fill this room with joy!"

It’s a “very Taos thing that you would not find anywhere else,” said Diane.

They offer Kids' Activities every week: face painting, storytelling, puppets or clowns, as well as live music twice a day. In addition to artisans, they have food, produce, energy practitioners, massage therapists, authors and knife sharpening. The idea is to offer something for everyone. Community is a massive part of what makes Taos stand out. It’s a place where people can come together, have fun, and experience something new!

Perched atop a scenic hill, this captivating 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence sits on 3.7 acres of stunning landscape, complemented by a charming one-bedroom guesthouse, a versatile studio, and a spacious garage. The home showcases an open-concept design that floods the interiors with natural light, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty— The gourmet kitchen is a true chef’s dream.

Wood and tile floors flow throughout, complemented by three authentic kiva fireplaces that evoke classic Southwestern charm. . Designed with accessibility in mind, this home thoughtfully incorporates features that ensure comfort for all.

Architect-Designed, EnergyEfficient Home in the Heart of Taos

Overview

This beautiful and unique home offers stunning views and an exceptional location with numerous custom features. Designed for optimal energy efficiency, it boasts no monthly gas bills and very low electric bills. The property is situated on an approximately ½ acre fee simple lot in the heart of Taos, featuring exceptional architectural design and high-quality construction.

Location and Neighborhood

Tucked away in a quiet cul-desac at the back of a secluded neighborhood, this home is within easy walking distance to Taos Plaza, a variety of restaurants, museums, shopping destinations, and Kit Carson Park. Residents enjoy magnificent views of Pueblo Peak from all major rooms. The

open floor plan and spacious portals offer abundant opportunities for comfortable living. The property is located near the historic district but is free from architectural restrictions and homeowner association requirements.

Energy Efficiency and Construction

The architect/owner designed the home to exceed LEED Platinum energy efficiency standards. The all-electric house, along with a separate workshop, is equipped with a solar panel array that generates enough electricity to offset annual usage. Kit Carson Electric’s net metering policy results in a minimal monthly charge of $28, solely for backup power. An air source heat pump provides hot water for both domestic use and zoned radiant floor heating, and can be switched in summer

to cool the home while still supplying hot water. Exterior walls and roof are constructed with Ray-Core insulated panels and 2 inches of exterior rigid foam insulation, achieving a total R-value of 55 for the walls and over 66 for the roof. Tinted concrete floors feature underfloor insulation (R-10 value), and their integral coloring ensures durability. High-quality Alpen windows and patio doors are quad glazed with fiberglass frames to minimize heat loss, and honeycomb insulating blinds—some motorized—enhance energy conservation. Special attention was given to sealing all seams and joints during construction to minimize air intrusion. A heat recovery ventilator ensures high air quality, operating two hours daily. Interior walls are finished with earthen plaster from American Clay, adding warmth and organic character. Custom-made wood doors were crafted on site, and a see-through propane-fueled gas fireplace provides aesthetic enjoyment and serves as a heating source during extended power outages.

Kitchen Features

The open-plan kitchen is equipped with a built-in Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, induction cooktop, wall oven, dishwasher, and an oversized stainless steel sink. A large island provides ample storage and invites guests to participate in meal preparation. The microwave and coffee station are concealed within cabinets for a tidy appearance. Countertops are made of copper and

hardwood, and a pantry closet is conveniently located nearby. A whole-house air ventilation system with an intake above the range can be used to circulate fresh air throughout the home.

Great Room and Outdoor Living

The great room features high ceilings, north and south-facing portals, clerestory windows, and Aspen tongue-and-groove high walls and ceiling, offering woodsy warmth above the earthen plastered walls. The built-in stereo system with nine speakers, including two subwoofers, and a large recessed TV will remain with the home. Outdoor living is enhanced by large porches on both the north and south sides, perfect for entertaining and enjoying unobstructed views of Pueblo Peak.

Additional Features

In addition to the oversized two-car garage, the property includes a 720 square foot heated workshop with a small attached greenhouse. The home is walkable to downtown and is located near the historic district without any architectural restrictions or homeowner association fees.
