Inventory: November listings (280) increased 36.6% from October and increased 41.41% from one year ago. Months of supply (inventory to sales ratio) increased from 2.4 to 2.9, reflecting a market where seller’s generally have elevated bargaining power. 

Pricing: The area’s median sales price in November was $235,000, an increase of 3.52% from one year ago and a increase of 11.9% from October. The differing sample size (number of residential sales of comparative months) can contribute to statistical volatility, including pricing. ACRE recommends consulting with a local real estate professional to discuss pricing, as it will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. 

Homes sold in November averaged 40 days on the market (DOM), 64 days faster than November 2020. 

Forecast: November sales were 5 units, or 5.01%, below the Alabama Center for Real Estate’s (ACRE) monthly forecast. ACRE projected 102 sales for the month, while actual sales were 97 units. ACRE forecast a total of 1156 sales year-to-date, while there were 1176 actual sales through November, a difference of 1.73%.
