What’s the average now? $125 plus


I doubt you could get one for $125 in the Huntsville/ Madison area. I'm guessing $150 +/- 10 . A large high end , custom, built by a high end builder in the Scottsboro area is around 200 per.


Yup similar here in the Auburn/Opelika area.
My condo in Auburn for example is worth $186+/- per sqft which is crazy to me but the reality of it.

New construction extremely close to me in Opelika for this condo/townhome thing is $210 per sqft.

Here's a SFH in that same neighborhood at $211 per sqft
