This page is about how many homes changed hands, not what they cost. The two move separately: prices are set by the homes that did sell, and volume tells you how many people managed to transact at all. A market can hold its prices while activity quietly drains out of it.

We call this unchanged deliberately. The difference between 293 and 292 sales is inside the range that a normal month produces on its own, so calling it a decline or a recovery would be reading a story into noise.

The longer view, all measured over the May window so the season is held constant: 267 homes sold two years ago, 292 last year, 293 now. Across two years the level has held roughly steady.

What is on the shelf next to what is selling: 801 homes were on the market in Tuscaloosa County, AL, and 293 sold. At that pace it would take about 2.7 months to clear them all. There are more buyers than homes for sale. Sellers have the edge.

Every comparison on this page is to the SAME calendar months a year earlier, never to last month. Home sales roughly double between January and May in most of the country, so a month-over-month reading would tell you about the season and nothing about the market.
