Census and NOAA figures for the community of North Hobbs in Lea County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the community of North Hobbs was built in 1987, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the New Mexico median of 1985. That is newer than the Lea County median of 1979.1 Most of North Hobbs's housing is recent: only 33% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 25% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 31%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than Lea County as a whole (52% built before 1980).1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Owner-occupied and rented homes in North Hobbs are of similar age: median build years 1986 and 1989.1
Housing in North Hobbs is mostly detached single-family: 68% of units, with 2% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 26% of units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. Home ownership is the norm in North Hobbs: 86% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the New Mexico share of 70%.1 The median owner-occupied home in North Hobbs is valued at $264,400 (ACS), above the New Mexico median of $248,100. Within Lea County the median is $184,000, so North Hobbs sits above it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
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 North Hobbs sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).4
Building permits in North Hobbs are normally issued by the county, as this is an unincorporated community.5,6 As an unincorporated community, permits and inspections run through the county.
