The DuBose Group tracks the Lee County, Alabama real estate market each week to help local homeowners, buyers, sellers, and people relocating to the area understand what is happening beyond the headlines. Our updates examine active homes for sale, average asking price, price per square foot, days on market, pending sales, and new-construction activity.

Understanding the Lee County Housing Market

This report focuses on Lee County properties outside the Auburn and Opelika city-market reports. Conditions can vary among communities such as Smiths Station, Salem, Waverly, Beauregard, and other unincorporated areas. Acreage, utilities, road access, school zones, property type, and distance from Auburn or Opelika can all affect value and marketability.

What This Means for Lee County Buyers

Lee County buyers have more active homes to consider, while the average market time has fallen to 72 days. Buyers should evaluate more than countywide averages because acreage, utilities, road access, financing eligibility, surveys, septic systems, property condition, and location can affect an individual property.

What This Means for Lee County Sellers

Pending activity increased, but half of last week’s pending sales involved new-construction homes. Resale sellers should pay close attention to how their property compares with both existing homes and new construction in the same price range.
