We currently live in Las Cruces in a 3000 sq foot house on 1 acre we bought for $475k. We're considering a move to northern NM (ABQ to SF to Los Alamos). Retired so location to job isn't important. Here's the deal though. In Las Cruces you can get a high end custom home (granite, high ceilings, high end cabinets) for $90-$95 a square foot (exclusive of land of course).
