The median home in the city of New Albany was built in 1974, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Mississippi median of 1986. That is older than the Union County median of 1985.1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Somewhat more of New Albany's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 60% against 50%, with 5% built since 2010. The largest single share, 36%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Union County as a whole (43% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows.

Owner-occupied homes in New Albany are older than rentals: a median build year of 1974 against 1978.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap. Housing in New Albany is mostly detached single-family: 78% of units, with 8% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units.

62% of occupied homes in New Albany are owner-occupied, below the Mississippi share of 70%.1 The median owner-occupied home in New Albany is valued at $161,400 (ACS), close to the Mississippi median of $169,800. Within Union County the median is $163,400, so New Albany sits close to it.1 The Tupelo Rgnl Ap station averages 54 nights a year at or below 32°F and 7 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.

Summers run hot, with about 70 days a year at 90°F or more and 2 at 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. Annual precipitation is about 58 inches, with 18 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.

Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,727 heating and 2,234 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 New Albany sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in New Albany are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
