Editor’s Note By Jon Anderson

Real estate is a key sector in the economy, especially in a place like Hoover where there is a lot of home building and mobility.

Hoover has long been one of the primary spots in the metro area for home building, and that affects so many other aspects of people’s lives, from where schools are needed to where roads are built and businesses want to locate, not to mention the hundreds of people employed in the home building and real estate industries in the city.

As more people move into Hoover, more businesses are needed to provide goods and services, stimulating the economy.

Plus, the city has a high percentage of its population that is mobile — people moving in and out of the city and from one part of Hoover to another.

With all that in mind, it’s important to stay informed about what’s happening with both home building and real estate in general. That’s why we’re taking time this month to feature our real estate guide.

It includes statistics about sales of both new and existing homes, home prices and the amount of inventory on the market.

Signature Homes continues to dominate the new home market in Hoover, closing 72% of new homes sales in 2022. And the company likely will continue to do so, with its new 2,344home Everlee community just getting under way.

We hope you’ll find the information in this real estate guide interesting and useful, and if you have ideas for things you’d like to see in a future one, shoot me an email at janderson@starnes media.com.
