Alabama Home Sales Keep Climbing!

Good news for the Yellowhammer State! The Alabama Association of REALTORS® just dropped their June report, and it's looking sunny for the housing market. Home sales are up for the second month in a row, spiking 8.2% since May and a whopping 10.9% compared to June last year.

What's the Catch?

Hold your horses! While these numbers are awesome, experts are pointing out that we're not quite back to pre-2024 levels. As Alabama REALTORS® economist Evan Moore puts it, the "slump" you might be hearing about is real, but the current conditions actually favor buyers. Think lower prices and plenty of options!

Money Matters

The median sales price in Alabama jumped to $233,458, a $4,488 increase from last year. We're also seeing a surge in the total value of homes sold, hitting a massive $1.86 billion – that’s 26.5% higher than last year and 9.4% better than May.

Buyer's Market, Anyone?

Get this: active home listings are at a five-year high! We're talking 20,298 homes on the market, up 22.7% from last year. That means more choices for you, the savvy ChumCity homebuyer.

A Little Patience

Houses are taking a bit longer to sell, averaging 63 days on the market in June. That's a few days longer than May and even longer than last year.

Alabama's Killing It!

The state's economy is still booming! Alabama boasts the third-highest GDP growth in the nation and the eighth-highest jump in personal income, even beating out Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida! Unemployment is holding steady at a low 3.3%, and our labor force participation is at a decade-high.

Politics is a Circus!

Hunter Biden Unleashes on Trump!

Things are getting spicy! Former Veep Joe Biden's son, Hunter, went on a rant against Trump, dropping F-bombs and comparing his immigration policies to the KKK. Meanwhile, the White House is busy bragging about Trump's "border success." Talk about fireworks!

Alabama Cracks Down on Ponzi Scheme?

Alabama's Securities Commission and Secretary of State Wes Allen are on the case, investigating possible shady political donations tied to a supposed $140 million Ponzi scheme out of Georgia. They're urging anyone who got money from Edwin Brant Frost IV to give it back! Yikes.

House GOP Shrinks!

Tennessee Rep. Mark Green just bounced from the House for a private gig, further slimming down the GOP majority. This could make it harder for them to push through their agenda. Talk about bad timing!

Britt Backs Cuts to NPR and PBS!

Senator Katie Britt is cheering on Trump's cuts to NPR and PBS, claiming they're fighting back against the "left's agenda." Seems like the culture wars are still raging!

NYC Mayor Welcomes ICE Surge?

After a CBP officer got shot, Border Czar Tom Homan promised to "flood the zone" in sanctuary cities with ICE agents. Mayor Eric Adams said, "Bring it on!"... but then threw in a weird comment about arrests and paths to citizenship. What's that about, Eric?

Tuberville Says "They Gotta Go Home!"

Senator Tommy Tuberville says illegal immigration is costing us about $70,000 per year. He wants deportations to surge and boasts that 1 million illegals have "deported themselves".

Epstein Files on Hold!

House Speaker Mike Johnson says there won't be a vote on releasing those Jeffrey Epstein documents before the August break. He's leaving it to the DOJ, which is handing a political weapon to the Dems. Polls show Trump's approval slipping, even in Alabama, but his MAGA fans are still rock solid.
