Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in DeKalb County picked up in April, with active listings up more than a quarter year over year and nearly 7% from March. Homes sold and pending sales both jumped sharply compared with a year ago, with closings up about 40% and properties under contract up more than 50%, while months of supply tightened to 3.8, well below Alabama’s 4.8 months, indicating sellers still hold some advantage.
Pricing is responding to this mix of stronger demand and leaner supply, though in a nuanced way. The typical home value is slightly higher than a year ago, but the median list price has surged by more than a third year over year and nearly 30% month over month, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices even as the average sale-to-list ratio holds close to 97%.
Conditions on the ground show a market where speed and strategy matter. Median days on market sit at 78, longer than in some prior months, yet roughly 28% of homes still go off the market within two weeks and about 12% sell above list, pointing to selective pockets of strong competition. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting trends in DeKalb County can use Agent Pronto to connect with an agent who understands how to price, market, and negotiate effectively in this environment.
