Huntsville Alabama ranked number 12th and Decatur Alabama ranked 10th out of 292 metropolitan areas tracked by the FHFA based upon 1 year increase in home prices. It is my opinion this is because these areas did not see the housing bubble seen by many other metro areas.

Thanks to the hard work of the AYSO volunteers we have new soccer fields located beside Creekside Elementary School. This is great news for the East Limestone community. The fields provide convenient parking and an easier to find location. The AYSO is paying for the new equipment by charging an extra $10.00 in dues and offering concessions during the games. The Limestone County School system is providing the property for the new fields. Soccer in the East Limestone Community is growing in popularity and the new fields will help it to grow even more. Once again thanks to all of the volunteers for your hard work.
