Wiregrass Daily News met with Kelly Woodham, President of the South East Alabama Association of Realtors, for an educational interview about the current housing market.
Woodham discussed current interest rates and their impact on buyers, noting that while rates have risen compared to recent years, they remain historically moderate and should not discourage potential homeowners from entering the market.
She also emphasized the long-term value of homeownership, explaining that owning property helps families build financial security, gain equity over time, and create assets that can be passed down to future generations.
Woodham pointed to several organizations that assist first-time homebuyers through education, financial guidance, and in some cases, down payment support, making it easier for new buyers to begin their journey into homeownership with confidence.
