Ever heard of High Range? 🏜️

If you’ve been in Las Cruces a while, you may remember it. That was the original MLS name for what’s now Area 216. When Sonoma Ranch was developed, the area was divided into Sonoma West and Sonoma East.
Here’s what surprises people: over half of Sonoma West isn’t Sonoma Ranch proper. The area also includes neighborhoods like The Boulders and The Boulders on the Green. When you see Sonoma West market stats, you’re looking at a much broader area than the name suggests.
Here’s what the last 12 months looked like, based on 127 closed residential sales (101 single-family homes, 24 condos, and 2 townhomes):
Average sold price: $352,641 (median $347,500)
Average sold price per sq. ft.: $186 (median $182)
Average home size: 1,899 sq. ft.
Days on market: 66 average, 24 median
Sold-to-list price: 98.11% average
Total sales volume: $44.8 million
Looking at single-family homes only, the average sold price rises to $392,283 (median $372,000), while the average price per square foot is nearly the same at $185. It’s a good reminder that the mix of homes sold can move an average price, so price per square foot often gives a clearer comparison.
The number I find most interesting is days on market. The 66-day average makes the market look slower than it was for most sellers: more than half of these homes (54%) sold within 30 days, while about 1 in 5 took more than 120.
Time on market also tracked closely with price. Homes that sold within 30 days closed at about 98.7% of their original list price, compared with about 89.5% for homes on the market more than 120 days.
Every neighborhood within Sonoma West has its own story, and I enjoy digging into the details. If you’re curious about your corner of the area, or just want to know what the numbers mean for your home, I’m always happy to talk.
