Listing Video in Albuquerque: The Heights, the Valley and the Sandias

Albuquerque sells the Sandias from the Heights, the cottonwoods and the acequias in the North Valley, and newer construction on the Westside and in Rio Rancho, in high-desert light that makes an hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset the only times to shoot outside. The video reaches the mountains, shows the lot and the portal, and is honest about water.

Light, weather and when to shoot

Intense at noon, extraordinary at the edges of the day — the Sandias turn pink at sunset. Summer monsoon afternoons; shoot aerials in the morning. Winter is clear and cold; the light is excellent.

What sells here, and what buyers want to see

The Northeast Heights and the foothills sell the view and the older custom home; the North Valley sells lots, adobe and the acequia; the Westside and Rio Rancho sell newer construction and the community. Buyers ask about the roof, the swamp cooler or refrigerated air, and the water.

The clips to make

Rules worth checking

New Mexico's seller's disclosure applies, and water rights and well status are real disclosure items in the valley. Airspace near the Sunport and Kirtland restricts drones over the south of the city; the Heights and the valley are partly flyable with a licensed pilot.

Disclosure, drone and privacy rules change and differ by MLS and municipality; confirm the current version with your broker before you rely on anything here.

Questions

Swamp cooler or refrigerated air — should the video say?

The caption should; it is the first question many buyers ask. A clip of the unit is unnecessary.

When do the Sandias look right?

The last half hour before sunset, from the west. Set the exterior shoot for it.
