Arab, AL Market Update

Days on Market: 18 Days → 79 Days

🔥The market is changing.

In May 2025, the median home in Arab went under contract in 18 days.

Fast forward to May 2026, and that number is 79 days.

That’s a 339% increase in days on market in just one year.

The days of throwing a sign in the yard and expecting multiple offers by the weekend aren’t as common as they were a year ago.

Today’s market requires a little more strategy, a little more patience, and realistic expectations from both buyers and sellers.

The good news? Homes are still selling. The sellers who price correctly, prepare their homes well, and market effectively are still getting results.

If you’re considering buying or selling, don’t rely on what worked last year. The market has changed, and your strategy should too.

🏡 Questions about what your home might be worth in today’s market? Let’s talk.
