One part of Huntsville is moving faster with less supply

These numbers cover the three months ending August 31, 2026. The one fact that changes what an owner in Huntsville should do right now: ZIP 35816 had just 2.9 months of supply, the lowest of any ZIP code the Real Estate Data Aggregator tracked here. Less supply means well-priced homes face less competition from other sellers.

CNBC reported that a monthly payment on a median-priced home took 33% of a median family's income in 2025. That is up from 26% in 2022, also per CNBC. Higher payment pressure slows buyers down. Yet in 35816, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 44.1% of homes going under contract within two weeks of listing. Buyers are still moving fast where supply is thin.

How 35816 compares with the rest of Huntsville

Not every ZIP code in Huntsville tells the same story. The Real Estate Data Aggregator tracked six ZIP codes with full data. Supply, speed and price moved differently in each one.

Where prices and speed stand in each ZIP

A few things worth noting

Prices did dip in some ZIP codes. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows the median sale price in 35801 fell 4.4% from a year before, to $439,950. In 35810 it slipped 4.9%, to $195,000. Not every seller is getting more than last year.

35806 moved faster even as its median price edged down 1.7% to $394,000. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted median days on market there at 45 days, 14 days shorter than a year before. More sellers, but buyers kept pace.

Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates topped 7% and that 20.8% of listings nationally took a price cut in September, the highest share since October 2022. That backdrop makes the speed in 35816 and 35802 stand out more, not less.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Huntsville's ZIP codes are split: some beat that, some fell below it.
