Furnished Property Rentals & Sales in Albuquerque

Whether you need a move-in-ready furnished home to purchase or a furnished rental for a corporate assignment, military PCS, or temporary stay, we connect you with Albuquerque properties that are ready from day one — no furniture shopping required.

Who Needs Furnished Properties

Furnished properties serve a growing demand in the Albuquerque market:

  • Military PCS transfers — Service members and families relocating to Kirtland AFB who need immediate housing while their household goods are in transit
  • Travel nurses and healthcare professionals — Albuquerque's major hospitals — UNM, Presbyterian, Lovelace — regularly recruit traveling professionals who need furnished housing for 13-week or longer assignments
  • Corporate transferees — Employees relocating for Sandia Labs, Intel, Netflix Studios, and other major employers who need comfortable housing during their transition period
  • Snowbirds and seasonal residents — Retirees who spend winters in Albuquerque's mild climate and want a fully equipped home without the hassle of furnishing
  • Film production crews — New Mexico's booming film industry brings production teams who need furnished housing for months at a time

Furnished Homes for Sale

Furnished home sales are ideal for buyers who want a truly turnkey purchase — vacation homes, investment properties, or primary residences where convenience is paramount. We locate properties listed with furniture included and negotiate the furnishing package as part of the purchase. Popular options include furnished condos in established communities and view properties marketed as second homes.

Furnished Rentals

Albuquerque's furnished rental market has expanded significantly. We help tenants find quality furnished rentals across the metro area — from one-bedroom apartments near the hospitals to single-family homes in family-friendly neighborhoods. Our rentals come fully equipped with furniture, kitchen essentials, linens, and utilities coordination.

For Property Owners: Furnished Rental Income

Furnishing a rental property can significantly increase your rental income. Furnished properties in Albuquerque typically command 30% to 60% higher monthly rents than unfurnished equivalents. We help property owners evaluate whether furnished rental conversion makes financial sense and connect them with staging and furnishing services.

Location Matters

The most in-demand furnished properties are located near major employment centers — the I-25/Paseo del Norte corridor for Sandia Labs access, the Uptown area for hospital proximity, and the Nob Hill/Downtown area for lifestyle renters. We also see strong demand for furnished gated community properties from executives and consultants.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much more do furnished rentals cost in Albuquerque?
Furnished rentals typically cost 30% to 60% more than unfurnished equivalents. A 3-bedroom home that rents unfurnished for $1,800/month might rent furnished for $2,400 to $2,800/month. The premium varies by neighborhood and quality of furnishings.
What is typically included in a furnished property?
A fully furnished property includes all major furniture (beds, sofas, dining sets), kitchen essentials (cookware, dishes, utensils), linens (sheets, towels), and basic decor. Some properties also include smart TVs, internet service, and utility coverage in the monthly rate.
Can I negotiate the furniture into a home purchase?
Yes. We regularly negotiate furnished sales where the furniture conveys with the property. This is documented in the purchase agreement as a separate bill of sale to keep the furniture value distinct from the property value for lending purposes.
What lease terms are available for furnished rentals?
Furnished rentals in Albuquerque are available for short-term (1-3 months), mid-term (3-12 months), and long-term (12+ months) leases. Shorter terms typically carry higher monthly rates. We help match your timeline with the best available options.
