Real Estate

Grant County is known as an architecturally diverse community. Our history begins with the remnants of the early Cliff Dwellings to settled mining camps and eventually the Victorian homes built in the late 1800s by the town forefathers. Ranch style homes prevailed in the ‘60s and have transitioned into the more modern Mediterranean- and Southwestern-style homes you’ll see today. With many of these early residences still standing, it is easy to see how the homes of Grant County have visibly evolved with the times.

Today the housing market in Grant County shows a steady increase over the past ten years. In 1996 a modest three-bedroom, two-bath, 1,500-square-foot home sold for an average price of $94,500. The same home sold for $160,610 in 2006 with the highest increase in sales prices in 1999, 2003 and 2005.

As of October 1, 2007, residential listings in Silver City hold an average sales price of $278,184. Prices can range from $55,000 for an older three-bedroom, two-bath, 900-square-foot older home in an established neighborhood to a $2.4 million adobe home on 230 acres.

Bargains can be found in areas such Bayard, Hurley and Santa Clara with homes listed from $69,500 to $99,500. Many residents of Grant County choose to live in outlying rural areas with a bit more acreage and a manufactured home. These properties list for an average price of $162,000.

In recent years, subdivisions such as Dos Griegos, Wind Canyon Estates, Branding Iron Properties and Canyon Country have moved the upscale buyers to a bit more of a rural setting within minutes of town. These properties come with city utilities and smaller acreages to larger land parcels with fewer utilities with prices averaging $82,500.

With all of these options ranging in style and date of homes to the wide variety of pricing, it is easy to see why the cultural and architectural diversity of Grant County has remained so vividly present and why those living here or just passing through adore and respect the community.
