Tuscaloosa Real Estate Market Analysis: 2024 vs. 2023

The Tuscaloosa real estate market in 2024 demonstrated resilience and growth compared to 2023. With increased demand, rising home prices, and faster transactions, understanding these trends and partnering with experienced professionals, like the Hospitality Network Group at Keller Williams, continues to be essential for both buyers and sellers. While sellers continue to benefit from favorable conditions, buyers should act decisively and consider strategic negotiations. Let’s take a deeper dive into the key market statistics that defined 2024.

Sales Volume and Units Sold


In 2024, Tuscaloosa saw a 5% increase in total units sold compared to 2023, with 93 additional single-family homes sold. This increase underscores the strong demand in the Tuscaloosa market.


Keller Williams agents in the Tuscaloosa area played a key role in this success, representing over 70% of condominium sales. This market dominance is a testament to KW's expertise and ability to deliver results for clients.


Median Sales Price


Property values in Tuscaloosa continued to climb, with the average sales price in West Alabama in 2024 was $326,798 up from $303,000 in 2023, reflecting a 7.4% appreciation. Homes represented by KW agents sold for $15,779 or 4.8% more than the average home in West Alabama, demonstrating the value of working with skilled professionals, like the Hospitality Network Group at Keller Williams.


Days on Market


Homes in Tuscaloosa sold faster in 2024, with average days on market slightly decreasing from 2023. Days on the market still remains below historic norms, signaling continued buyer interest. KW-represented homes significantly outperformed the market, selling 13 days (29%) faster than the average home in West Alabama.


Inventory Levels


The number of homes for sale in Tuscaloosa still remains low. This tightening inventory has contributed to upward price pressure, highlighting the importance of strategic buying and selling decisions in this competitive seller’s market.


Market Dynamics: Seller's vs. Buyer's Market


With approximately 3.5 months of inventory, Tuscaloosa remains a seller's market. A balanced market typically requires six months of inventory, making this an opportune time for sellers to capitalize on favorable conditions.


Condominium Market Growth


The condominium sector experienced impressive growth, with 120 additional units sold in 2024 compared to 2023. Keller Williams agents facilitated 71.7% of these transactions, showcasing their unmatched expertise in the condo market and their commitment to delivering exceptional results.


Key Takeaways for Buyers


Increased Competition:  Rising prices and limited inventory mean buyers should be prepared for competitive bidding.

Act Quickly: Homes are selling fast, and decisive action is crucial.


Key Takeaways for Sellers
