Just recently I took a new listing of an Albuquerque Home with a Basement. Now I know that doesn't seem like such a big deal, but actually it is. Basements are not a common theme or building practice here in the Albuquerque High Desert. With a quick check of our current available inventory of 3,913 residential detached homes only 77 or 2% had a basement. See this great home at 7109 Alexandria Albuquerque with a basement!
What I do not fully understand is WHY NOT? The soil is mostly sandy so it’s a breeze to excavate plus with the hot summers and chilly winters It would seem a good fit. It may have to do with simple costs of construction since it would require more concrete and more frame work to complete the task but it’s a common practice in other parts of the country. It may also have to do with the soil, maybe sandy soil is not a good idea with a basement. Settling issues? or Drainage Issues? Keep in mind however that an over abundance of moisture is typically not a concern around here since our average annual rainfall is only 8 inches, so I serioulsy doubt seepage is the issue. Obviously, I don't have the answers but plenty of questions.
So when I see a listing with a basement it really does attracts some added interest and curiosity. I think it is an excellent feature and maximizes the available footprint of most lots.
