Elizabeth Ramsey    Cooper-Golden: Real Estate Agent in Huntsville, AL

While the Madison Alabama housing market has been better than most, we did not manage to skate through the housing crisis unscathed. I found the following statistics to be very interesting:

As you will notice, the average days on market for homes in Madison Alabama has nearly doubled, year over year since 2007 and the average list to sale price has dropped slightly. The GREAT news is that our home prices continue to INCREASE. This is very good news for all of us in the Madison area. While are sales are down, our home prices are on the up swing.

February 2007: There were 68 sales, with an average sale price of $245,076. List to sale price average was 98.77 and the average days on market was a mere 59. On February 15, 2007, there were 414 homes available, making our inventory levels at a 6.08 month supply.

February 2008: There were 46 home sales in Madison Alabama, obviously down from previous year. The average sale price was $265,054 with an average list to sale price of 100.06%. The average days on market was 86. On February 15, 2008, there were 395 homes available, making our inventory levels at a 8.59 month supply.
