Hoover, Alabama is a fabulous place to live. Many home sites have fabulous views. The fall leaves are beautiful this year and every trip to the grocery store is filled with color!

Home sales in the Hoover, Alabama area were down in October 2008 with 58 homes sold. This was the lowest number since January '08 (with 52 sales). Part of this is a seasonal slow down and part is a reflection of the poor economic news that hit at the end of September.

In the Hoover Alabama area, the average salesprice was $283,763 with prices ranging from $104,900 for a 4 Bedroom 2.5 Bath at the Vestavia Knoll, to $769,900 for a 4 bedroom 2.5 Bath in the Lake Trace section of Trace Crossings. Currently, there are 1029 homes on the market which means there are a lot of fabulous homes to choose from.

Activity has picked up after the election and the end of the year sales should drastically improve. If you've been thinking about buying a new home, this is the time. Rates are low and if you act quickly, you could be in that home of your dreams before Christmas. Shop on the internet at www.ToniBird.com/search.asp?
