ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. As is the case in many other western states, New Mexico is seeing an increase in interest among buyers for ranch and farmlands, as the COVID-19 pandemic forces many Americans to reevaluate exactly what kind of environment they want to be their home.
Real estate brokers specializing in ranch and farmlands told the Journal they’ve had a surge in the number of people looking to purchase property, especially those from large urban areas in states like California and New York.
“There’s just a mass exodus of people getting out of the cities,” said Greg Liddle, New Mexico territorial manager for Hayden Outdoors.
