Alabama is undeniably a stereotypical southern state, but the
state and real estate market hold undeniable surprises.
Alabama
Alabama is distinctly southern and darn proud of it. If you have
a taste for college football, country music and NASCAR, Alabama
is a paradise defined. To the surprise of many, Alabama also has
a more modern flavor with Huntsville being the home of a major
chunk of the U.S. Space Program. For golfers, the collection of
golf courses winding through the state, known as the Robert
Trent Jones golf trail, make Alabama one of the top golfing
destinations in the continental United States. Personally, I
prefer the annual iron bowl college football war between the
Auburn and Alabama universities, but to each their own...
Huntsville
Home to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville is
undoubtedly the pyrotechnic capital of the south. With a
distinct southern charm, the city is laid out well with parks,
botanical gardens, lake areas and a close proximately to
numerous outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking and hunting.
While many cities make a haberdash of mixing in the new with the
old, Huntsville gets it just right.
Mobile
Pronounced "Moe beel," Mobile is a busy port city with a little
known history. If you've ever thought of going to Mardi Gras in
New Orleans, you're better off going to Mobile. Yep, the city
was the first to celebrate Mardi Gras in the United States and
maintains the tradition to this day. In fact, Mobile looks
striking like New Orleans, having been established by the
French. It is a beautiful southern city, with spring being the
best time as a bevy of flowing plants awaken from their winter
slumber. The colors and fragrances are simply amazing.
Alabama Real Estate
Alabama real estate prices are very reasonable when compared to
the rest of the country. Throughout the state, an average home
will run you $200,000 or less. The appreciation rate is a little
low, but still a respectable 7.5 percent for 2005.
