“The absorption rate has trended downward since 2010 and is now at about the ideal 6-month level. The level of inventory has fluctuated slightly but remains about the 2010 level. The underlying economic conditions for Madison County are strong as shown by growth in population, workforce, income, and Gross Domestic Product. With a relatively strong economy, it is reasonable to expect that demand for real estate properties should continue to trend upward”, according to the report. Overall, the 1st Quarter of 2018 was a strong period for residential real estate in Madison County.
The Huntsville Area Real Estate Economics report gives you, the professional, and consumers a clearer picture of our inventory shortage and recent increase in average home prices.
