HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — Around 1,400 jobs are expected to come to Huntsville over the next five years with Space Command Headquarters.

The Huntsville/Madison County Chamber of Commerce also anticipates that for each of those jobs, an additional two to three indirect jobs will also come. That means many people could be looking for housing.

"There will be a lot more buyers," said Ben Wales, an Associate Broker with Gateway Alabama Realty Group.

Wales said he anticipates the people who will be relocating to the Rocket City will have a good budget to work with.

"A lot of the people initially moving here for Space Command are probably not looking at your starter homes," Wales said.

According to the Huntsville Area Association of Realtors, the median home price in Huntsville is $339,000.
