What’s local to Artesia
There are no programs run by Artesia or by Eddy County. A Artesia buyer uses New Mexico statewide and federal programs, which are the ones listed above.
The closest city that runs its own program is Albuquerque, about 201 miles away. City programs usually require the home to be inside that city’s limits — worth checking if you’re still choosing where to buy.
HUD puts the 2026 area median income for Eddy County at $100,100 for a four-person household. 11 of the programs listed here set an income limit as a percentage of that figure, which is why the same program admits a different income in a different county. Published limits for New Mexico →
