Huntsville Housing Market Expected To Rise In 2007
"After bottoming in the fourth quarter of 2006, existing-home sales are expected to rise through 2007 and into 2008, while new home sales should turnaround by summer, according to the latest forecast by the National Association of Realtors." Our local Huntsville real estate market doesn't fall in line with this prediction, however, as both sales and prices increased in 2006.
The average sales price increased in December 2006 by approximately $13,538 or 9 percent from December 2005 to $164,800. The number of homes sold increased during this time period by 9 percent or 80 homes and the active listings increased by 20 percent. Market times dropped by 4 percent.
