Strong Rental Market In Hsv Al

Huntsville residential rental market has shown a marked improvement from last year at this time. I've noticed the number of rentals/days on the market have dropped. We are also seeing an increase in rental rates. In most areas we are seeing a $7@ sq.ft rate and in NE and SE areas of Huntsville the rate is closer to $9 @ sq. ft. . It is hard to find month to month house rentals in our area, 1 year leases are the norm and in some highly desirable areas, 2 years is the minimum.

Labor Day Business

Today, Sept 1st, we are watching the coast and praying for our friends and family in Gustav's way. We are seeing refuges here in our area. In fact the local news this morning showed a couple visiting our Botanical Gardens as they waited out the news from New Orleans. What is a holiday like for a realtor/broker? Well this morning I showed a house to a prospective buyer while my clients were gone to the lake. This afternoon I am meeting with an electrical contractor to co-ordinate a repair for another of my clients. Real estate brokering done right, takes the stress off the owner and makes the process move in an orderly fashion without the snafu's some expect in this business. I am sitting here listening to one of my favorite singer's, Larry Sparks, a truly unique voice in Bluegrass Music.
