Census and NOAA figures for the city of Hobbs in Lea County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Hobbs was built in 1980, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the New Mexico median of 1985.1 About 50% of Hobbs's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 17% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Hobbs are older than rentals: a median build year of 1978 against 1983.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Housing in Hobbs is mostly detached single-family: 68% of units, with 11% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 66% of occupied homes in Hobbs are owner-occupied (70% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Hobbs is valued at $191,300 (ACS), below the New Mexico median of $248,100.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Hobbs station averages 72 nights a year at or below 32°F and 10 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Heat is the governing season: about 104 days a year reach 90°F and 21 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies.
Annual precipitation is low, about 14 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,963 heating and 1,982 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Hobbs sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).4
Building permits in Hobbs are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
