Most of Auburn's housing is recent: only 20% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 27% were built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Auburn are newer than rentals: a median build year of 2002 against 1995.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Auburn has a mixed housing stock: 48% detached houses, 8% attached or townhouse units and 31% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Auburn, with 53% of occupied homes owner-occupied (70% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Auburn is valued at $364,800 (ACS), above the Alabama median of $209,900.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
