Market snapshot (latest available)
Pricing: Zillow’s ZIP tracker has 35661’s typical value at $248,635 (+2.0% YoY). On the transaction side, Realtor.com’s ZIP dashboard shows a $329,900 median sale price and notes homes typically selling around 98% of asking (about 2% below list). Mortgage rates remain a major affordability lever, so small moves in rates can still change buyer urgency week to week.
Inventory: Realtor.com shows 188 active listings and indicates for-sale inventory up year over year. Zillow’s ZIP overview (through Dec. 31, 2025) reports 122 for-sale inventory and 23 new listings, which fits with a market where buyers can compare options rather than rush.
Speed: Redfin’s 35661 view (its ‘cheap homes’ filter) shows a median listing price around $330K, about 134 listings in that filtered set, and 12 homes sold in the past month. That pattern often means the most ‘payment-friendly’ homes move first, while the rest need sharper pricing or better condition to stand out.
What’s for sale right now (no addresses)
Zillow’s current 35661 search shows about 164 active listings, with pricing that spans from roughly $160K for smaller/older single-family options up into the $500Ks for larger homes. If you are shopping this week, it is worth comparing ‘needs work’ listings against updated homes, because repair costs (roof, HVAC, foundation, cosmetic updates) can swing the true monthly budget as much as the list price does.
