📍 Haleyville (35565):
• Median Sold Price: ~$137,000
• Days on Market: Avg. 60–70 days
• Trend: Homes are remaining affordable here, sitting just slightly longer than last year, giving buyers more room to negotiate.
📍 Marion County (Winfield, Hamilton, Guin):
• Median Sold Price: ~$169,900
• Days on Market: ~75 days
• Trend: Prices have seen a healthy bump year-over-year (~17%), but inventory is growing.
📍 Winston County (Including Lake Homes):
• Median Sold Price: ~$249,000 (Skewed higher by Smith Lake properties)
