Housing development reflects both demographic shifts and market dynamics. New construction focuses primarily on larger, upscale homes that attract newcomers seeking rural living with modern amenities. Meanwhile, the short-term rental market transforms existing housing stock toward tourism uses. “We have seen a lot of out-of-town people coming and building or buying spec homes,” explains Mayor Jeffers. “We have some developers who build spec homes, and most are sold before they are ever completed.These are upper end homes, mostly 2,200 to 4,200 square feet. They are beautiful homes with beautiful views, and they do not last long on the market. The market has never really slowed down here.” As Huntsville moves forward under Mayor Jeffers’ leadership, the town balances growth with preservation, economic development with community character, and tourism opportunities with resident needs.This holistic approach ensures that Huntsville maintains its distinctive identity while embracing positive change. 126 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 06
