Huntsville AL Real Estate Market Trends

Filed under: Huntsville Information, Madison Information — Huntsville Real Estate Expert Mike Manosky

Little change is expected in Huntsville AL real estate sales of existing homes over the next few months, before notably improving during the second half of the year, according to the latest forecast by the National Association of Realtors.

 

Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist, said the market will come into clearer focus this summer.  “Existing home sales could start to show a sustained increase within a few months, unless there are some additional economic problems or excessive inflationary pressure,” he said.  “The wider access to affordable credit should increase sales activity notably this summer as pent-up demand begins to be met.”

 

Let’s take a look at the Huntsville and Madison County real estate market activity for this March to see how the spring is looking so far:

Encouraging News For Huntsville AL Real Estate Investment Home Buyers

Filed under: Huntsville AL Real Estate — Huntsville Real Estate Expert Mike Manosky
According to the latest research by the National Association of Realtors, 1/3 of all real estate transactions in 2007 involved second or vacation homes. Although sales declined overall when compared to 2006, the proportion of vacation home sales was still near-record.
 
Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist, said lifestyle factors and strong demographics remain positive for the vacation home market. “Investment considerations are secondary for vacation-home buyers, so there is some dormant underlying demand,” he said. “A peak of population is moving through the prime years for buying recreational property. It is welcoming to see investment sales returning to pre-boom activity.”
