Decatur, where it's greater

You want to make a smart move in Decatur. The market is sending clear signals. Listings are up, time on market is stretching, and pricing depends on neighborhood and condition. In July the Decatur area closed one hundred twenty seven sales, up from one hundred seventeen last year. Inventory rose from four hundred thirty three to five hundred ninety one listings, which pushed months of supply to four point seven. The county median sale price landed at two hundred fifty seven thousand five hundred and homes took about sixty two days to sell. 

Inside the city limits, the story looks a little different. In July the Decatur city median was about two hundred thirty six thousand, down a bit year over year, with sixty one homes sold and an average of fifty seven days on market. That mix tells you buyers have more choice and sellers still win when a home looks great, lives well, and is priced with care. Data sets vary by area and sample size, so the real answer is local and block by block. 

Here is your plan. If you sell, lean into presentation, price, and promotion. We will stage for real life, fix what matters, and use video to show the light, flow, and lifestyle that buyers want in Decatur and Morgan County. If you buy, we will compare the city and the county, track price moves, and time your offer when competition is quiet. Success looks like a smooth contract, clean repairs, and a closing that feels calm. Failure avoided looks like missing the first two weeks of attention or overpricing in a market with more selection.

Decatur keeps investing in jobs and quality of life, which supports long term demand. Loftis Steel and Aluminum announced a new high tech operation with a six point five million dollar investment and twenty jobs. Bunge is improving its plant to cut truck lines and boost efficiency. Nucor Towers and Structures is completing a utility structures facility in the city. United Launch Alliance continues to build Alabama made rockets with growing operations that touch our region. These are good signals for housing over time.

I will guide you step by step with honest advice and clear communication. When you are ready, let us map your goals and build a simple plan that works
