Littleville, Alabama, a small town in Colbert County, has experienced fluctuations in its homeownership rates and housing market over the past decade. This charming community has maintained a relatively high rate of homeownership, with a trend towards increasing owner-occupied housing in recent years.

The homeownership rate in Littleville has generally remained strong, with a slight upward trend in recent years. In 2013, 75% of housing units were owner-occupied.

This trend suggests a growing preference for homeownership in the community. Interestingly, the increase in homeownership coincided with a period of historically low federal interest rates, which remained below 1% from 2009 to 2016. As interest rates began to rise from 2017 onwards, reaching 1.68% in 2022, Littleville's homeownership rate remained resilient, indicating other factors may be influencing this trend.
