North Alabama Markets Tracker

Huntsville, Madison, Decatur & Guntersville by the numbers.

Public data from Zillow Research, Realtor.com Research, the U.S. Census (ACS), FHFA, BLS and FRED, blended with HREI’s own lead and offer activity. Every figure is cited with its as-of date; anything we couldn’t pull is marked unavailable.

Metro snapshot

Zillow Research metro series (smoothed). Forecast columns: HREI model estimate (not a guarantee) and Zillow’s own ZHVF forecast for comparison.

ZIP tracker

Value = Zillow ZHVI mid-tier; rent = Zillow ZORI; renter % = Census ACS 5-yr B25003; DOM, inventory & price-cut share = Realtor.com Research (active listings). Rent-to-value is monthly rent ÷ value (the “1% rule” scale). “Leads / offers” are HREI CRM counts.
