Redfin cited a $290,000 median sale price for the three-month period ending May 2026, down 6.2% year-over-year, with median price per square foot ($174) also down modestly (-1.1% YoY) -- a genuinely different direction than Tuscaloosa's own +3.6% figure documented in this project's tuscaloosa-al.js, disclosed rather than assumed to track Tuscaloosa's market exactly.
Genuinely low property tax supports overall affordability
Northport's 0.38% effective property tax rate, below Tuscaloosa County's own 0.45% median, is a real, concrete affordability factor alongside the disclosed recent price decline.
