We don't have all the details on IDX field changes yet but more information will be forth coming. More detail can be found: Huntsville Real Estate Map Search Read Full Post

All major metropolitan areas have a number of bedroom communities just outside the suburbs known as the Exurbs. These commuter towns have sprung up all over the country and even the rise in fuel prices over the last few years have not deterred their popularity and growth. What is it about the exurbs that continue draw families to make them their home? Even in mid sized markets like the Huntsville Real Estate market we are seeing ‘share a ride’ commuter parking lots spring up around the me... Read Full Post

The Huntsville / North Alabama area is a unique economic region in the southeastern part of the United States. With such a resilient and diverse economy the area’s real estate market was one of the last to begin feeling the strain of the national housing crisis and will likely be one of the mid sized metro areas that lead in an eventual recovery. Like many communities across the country, the number of Huntsville Al Foreclosures has risen to record levels but have recently leveled off over t... Read Full Post

The Huntsville Real Estate market, due to the strength of the local economy, initially held up very well given the national housing crisis of the last few years and the current economic recession.

What is a value zone you ask? While every area and city has a variety of real estate options, I think all areas have these small niche locations where home prices represent a real value situation. One of these areas in Huntsville Alabama is Owens Cross Roads. What is unique about the Owens Cross Roads area is actually its proximity to another area of the city, Hampton Cove. Hampton Cove hosts some of the most expensive real estate in the city due to its neighborhood amenities. To mention just... Read Full Post

The reason we felt, was the strength of our local economy which was receiving recognition time and time again from the likes of Forbes Magazin... Read Full Post

This past weekend I finally got around to upgrading an older Wordpress site (version 2.3) to the latest and greatest version 2.7.1. Like most of you, who self-host your own Real Estate blog, I had dreaded doing this for fear of screwing it up, perhaps even inadvertently modifying post URLs and I envisioned search engines sending potential clients to the dreaded 404 page not found result. Then I ran across a new Wordpress theme that I simply loved; Thesis by Chris Pearson. I had previously use... Read Full Post

Yes, yet another real estate blog. How many is too many? The simple answer is: when you don’t have time to post original content on all your blogs on a regular basis then you are simply spread too thin. I am not a real estate agent or broker, but my wife is, and she has 2 blogs (Active Rain, and a self-hosted site with Wordpress) and I must admit she does a fairly competent job of keeping original content posted on a regular basis, although she does cross post with some modification on occa...
