News 19 reached out to the Huntsville Area Association of Realtors (HAAR) for a reaction to the big news.
HAAR President Isaac Winkles said, “This is a well-deserved and hard-earned recognition, and our top priority is to ensure the ‘American Dream’ of owning a home is attainable for everyone in Madison County.”
“The Huntsville metro area landed n the list because of responsible work from our local leaders, but we all have more work to do to ensure all income earners can buy the home of their dreams and build wealth,” Winkles concluded.
