🦃 Thanksgiving Week in Calhoun County: Gratitude, Real Estate, and Community

Thanksgiving week is here—a time for slowing down, gathering with loved ones, and reflecting on the blessings we’ve experienced this year. As your local Calhoun County REALTOR®, I want to share both gratitude and a helpful look at what this season means for homeowners and those thinking about buying or selling in Oxford, Anniston, Jacksonville, Alexandria, and surrounding areas.

🍁 A Market Worth Being Thankful For

While fall typically brings a more relaxed pace, the real estate market in our area continues to show strong demand. Many families use this time of year to make plans for the upcoming spring selling season, which means now is the perfect moment to prep your home, explore your home’s value, or start your buying strategy before competition increases after the holidays.

If you’re a homeowner in Oxford (36203 & 36207), Anniston (36201 & 36206), Jacksonville (36265), or Alexandria (36250), late fall can be an ideal time to evaluate your equity, plan upgrades, or schedule a pre-spring consultation.

🏡 Thinking About Selling After the Holidays?

Thanksgiving week is a great time to set the foundation for a successful 2026 move. Buyers searching right now are highly motivated—relocations, job changes, and end-of-year timelines all bring serious buyers into the market.

Here are a few things I help sellers plan during the holiday season:

• Pre-listing walkthroughs and strategy sessions

• Home value assessments

• Prep & repair checklists

• Budget-friendly improvement ideas

• Early January photo/video scheduling

A thoughtful plan now means a stress-free listing later.

🧡 Thankful for Our Community

One of the best parts of serving Calhoun County is the sense of pride and connection our neighborhoods share. Whether it’s kids riding bikes in Jacksonville, families gathering in Alexandria, or holiday lights going up across Oxford, this community continues to be something truly special.

I’m incredibly grateful for every client who trusted me in 2025—buyers, sellers, investors, first-time homeowners, and every referral. Your support makes Housed by Hunter possible.

🍽️ Holiday Home Tips

As you prepare for the big day, here are a few quick homeowner tips:

• Test your oven before Thanksgiving morning

• Clean your gutters to prepare for upcoming winter rain

• Check HVAC filters with guests coming over

• Do a quick driveway and walkway safety check

• Add festive curb appeal with winter greenery or a fresh wreath

Small steps make a big difference in comfort and home value.

🦃 In the Spirit of Thanks

If you’re planning a move in early 2026—or simply want to understand your home’s value in today’s market—Thanksgiving week is a perfect time to connect, ask questions, and map out your goals.

I’m here all week and happy to help.

Wishing you and your family a warm, joyful, and memory-filled Thanksgiving.
