36426, Brewton, AL

Brewton, Alabama is a small town located in the southeastern corner of Alabama. The population of Brewton was just over 10,000 as of the 2010 census. The 36426 zip code includes all of Brewton and a small portion of neighboring Pinson. Home prices in this zip code have been on the rise for several years now, and they continue to increase at a rapid pace.

As of February 2016, the median home price in the 36426 zip code was $119,900. This is up from $93,500 as of February 2015 and $86,100 as of February 2014. Over the past year or so, home prices have increased by an average of 8% each month. In fact, during the month of January 2016 alone, home prices increased by an astonishing 12%.

One reason why home prices in this zip code are rising so rapidly is that there are very few homes available for sale. In fact, according to Zillow’s March 2016 report on housing markets across America*, only 2% of homes in Brewton were available for sale at the time that report was compiled. This shortage has caused buyers to compete for limited inventory with sellers who are willing to offer higher prices than usual.

Another factor contributing to high home prices in this zip code is its proximity to major metropolitan areas such as Birmingham and Montgomery. Many people who live here commute to work in those cities every day and are therefore able to afford more expensive homes than those who live here full-time but work elsewhere. Furthermore, many businesses located in these larger cities have decided to move their headquarters or operations into Brewton instead of building new offices elsewhere due to its favorable business climate and low cost of living compared with other major metropolitan areas nationwide. As a result, demand for housing stock has outstripped supply significantly over the past few years which has driven up prices even further!
