Two more of our listings are spoken for. Both went under contract recently, and both tell you something about what Shelby County buyers are actually moving on right now.
118 Carriage Drive, Maylene, AL 35114
- 3 bedrooms
- 2.5 bathrooms
- 1,560 square feet
- Roof 2025, HVAC 2026
This one sold on being finished. The primary suite was fully redone with new flooring, fresh paint, new vanities and mirrors. New sheetrock, interior and exterior paint completed in 2025, and the two big-ticket systems handled before it ever hit the market.
Buyers at this price point are tired of projects. When a home is genuinely turnkey and the receipts back it up, it moves.
Worth knowing: the address carries a Maylene 35114 postal designation but sits in the Alabaster tax district with Alabaster City Schools. Buyers should verify school assignment independently.
3029 Stonecreek Trace, Helena, AL 35080
- 4 bedrooms
- 3 bathrooms
- 2,167 square feet
- Old Cahaba community
Space and separation carried this one. Engineered hardwoods throughout, a vaulted great room with a woodburning fireplace open to the kitchen, and a main-level primary suite with double vanities, a garden tub, and a separate shower.
The finished walk-out basement is what closed the deal. It adds a rec space, a fourth bedroom, and a full bath, which effectively gives you a second living area rather than just more square footage.
Old Cahaba adds two pools, tennis courts, a playground, and a park. Buyers verify school assignment independently.
What Both Have in Common
Neither one was a fixer. Both had the expensive systems already addressed and the updates already done. In this market, Shelby County buyers are paying for certainty, not potential.
If you are thinking about selling, that is the takeaway worth acting on. The homes moving fastest are the ones where a buyer can see the work is finished.
