Your right abt the pricing but the way we do things and have our things set out is just like Texas..My family is from Houston,Tx and believe me its the same but without traffic and humidity!!
I am originally from about 120 miles north of Houston (some forty odd years ago) and I agree that eastern New Mexico culturally resembles Texas a lot. Weather- and traffic-wise I also agree, and am thankful, that there is not much similarity between eastern Texas and eastern New Mexico.
Regarding real estate in New Mexico and Texas, I've owned homes in Clovis, Albuquerque and on the Texas southern High Plains and am somewhat familiar with the difference in prices in at least these areas. However, I do recall a time when one went from dirt-poor west Texas to dirt-poorer eastern New Mexico to buy land and homes. However, that was a time when Americans still thought you needed a passport to visit New Mexico and the State had not yet been discovered. I would have to say the Pilgrims have since landed with a vengeance and it's not just Texans flooding into the State anymore. I'm in the process of returning to the still-undiscovered Texas High Plains but will always have good memories of a time when mostly Texans were discovering the Land of Enchantment.
BTW, I still prefer Clovis to other areas of the State. It's still a great town in the best part of the State.

I still prefer mostly anywhere in Eastern NM over the rest of the state.
all of you posters and home buyers,thank the lord that you wake up to and live in bright sunshine! Do not take it for granted...because you could spend half the year in sunless pittsburgh,pa. don't worry,be happy
if your looking for a more peace and quiet place hobbs is not the place to live . its also not a good place to raise kids its to violent an gettin worse
So would I, but I'm biased since it's my hometown.
The crime in Hobbs is definitely a problem, but I find it to be a slightly tidier city than Clovis. Plus, if anything ever happened to Cannon, Clovis would be in shambles (hoping for Clovis's sake that never happens). Also, it's a whole lot colder in Clovis in the winter than Hobbs.
