Clovis (population ~37,500) is a small urban core/community in eastern New Mexico near the Texas state line, with military influences (Air Force base nearby) and agricultural surroundings. The housing stock includes mid‐century ranch homes, newer modest developments, and some rural outlots. The environment is small-city/rural mix. Given the regional market, home values are modest: probably USD $150,000-$250,000 for many houses. Build‐on‐land costs may run USD $150–225 per sq ft plus lot, depending on site.
