Here’s what’s happening across the Rocket City right now.

🏡 Real Estate Market Insights: July 2025

Inventory:
Listings are rising slightly, but we’re still well below balanced market levels. Areas like Jones Valley, Blossomwood, and the Medical District remain ultra-competitive—well-priced homes are still sparking multiple offers.

Prices:
The median home price in Huntsville is now around $365,000, up 4.3% from July 2024. High-demand areas near Cummings Research Park and Redstone Arsenal continue to lead in appreciation.

Days on Market:
Homes are averaging 23 days on market—just a tick longer than last month but still firmly in seller’s market territory. Updated homes with curb appeal are flying off the shelves.

Buyer Behavior:
Relocation buyers from places like Atlanta, Nashville, and California are still making waves—many with cash in hand. Locals are laser-focused on school zones, commute times, and outdoor access near spots like Monte Sano State Park and Green Mountain Nature Trail.

Tucked between the mountains and just minutes from downtown, Jones Valley remains a favorite for its ideal mix of comfort, class, and convenience.

👩‍💼 Agent POV: Ben Nemec on What’s Shifting

“Buyers are looking for a house that is move-in ready,” says Ben Nemec, Team Leader of Team Nemec with Capstone Realty Huntsville, one of Huntsville's top agents.

“They don't want to pay a premium on price, a premium on interest rate, and then go in and have to spend their cash on updates, painting, cleaning, etc. If a house is move-in ready and priced right, we are still seeing multiple offers. Those homes that are priced as if they are move-in ready, but need work, those are the ones that are sitting and accumulating days on market.”

🚀 Final Takeaway: Ready to Make a Move in the Rocket City?

Huntsville’s housing market remains strong into July—with great opportunities for sellers and smart plays for buyers who are ready to act fast. Whether you’re moving up, relocating in, or investing in a hot zip code, now’s the time to plan your next move.
