Compare current competition within the location, condition, property type and price range that matter to you. When complete closing history is unavailable, an asking-price snapshot cannot establish a typical negotiated discount or a sale-price trend.
For sellers
An area's asking median is a reference point. Our team can help identify relevant competing properties and verified comparable sales for a property-specific pricing discussion.
Price bands and property types
Current bands use asking prices. Verified closed-sale bands use sold prices. A partial observed subset is labeled rather than presented as the entire inventory.

$948,934,112
3,038 dated Closed/Sold records · 3,038 known sold prices.
This is the volume represented by available dated MLS records with known sold prices. Missing dates or prices mean it is not a complete market-volume total.
This figure covers the exact report area across for-sale property types and stays independent of the property and price filters. Period allocation follows the sale-date hierarchy in the methodology.
Closed and sold activity: rolling periods
Closed and sold figures use the reporting-date hierarchy explained in the methodology. Complete source coverage is required; asking prices are not substituted for sold prices.

Additional market measures
The current snapshot does not support every market measure. These figures are not shown until the required MLS observations and coverage are available:
- Absorption and months of supply
- Marketing-time and listing-age measures
- Original-to-current asking-price changes
Missing information is not shown as a zero. The source details explain the current coverage.
MLS sources, coverage and methodology
Current observations by MLS
These source summaries remain separate. An observed subset is not a complete market inventory, and overlapping MLS records must not be counted twice.
Greater Alabama MLS
| Status | Listings | Median asking price | Known price values |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active | 1,247 | $169,900 | 1,247 known values |
| Pending / Under Contract | 404 | $147,000 | 404 known values |
Walker County MLS
| Status | Listings | Median asking price | Known price values |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active | 5 | $89,999 | 5 known values |
| Pending / Under Contract | 2 | $236,900 | 2 known values |
Data available from each MLS
The table identifies which observations support the current active-listing measures in this property view. A missing field stays unavailable; it is not treated as a false property feature.
| MLS source | Active records | Known asking prices | Known marketing time | Usable residential price/size | Usable land price/acres |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Greater Alabama MLS | 1,247 | 1,247 | 0 | 1,245 | 0 |
| Walker County MLS | 5 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 0 |
No known values can mean that the view contains no eligible records or that the field is unavailable. The source coverage and known counts must be read together.
Collection and property scope
| Measure | Records |
|---|---|
| Native search reported records | 2,193 |
| Native records retrieved | 2,193 |
| Rental records excluded | 144 |
| Qualified for-sale source records | 2,049 |
| Records in the selected property view | 1,654 |
Current search collection: complete. This does not establish historical closing coverage. Rentals are not included in for-sale price figures.
Closed/Sold data coverage
Retained source records for this area, before property and price filters, are not a count of separate transactions. Reported periods use the records with an available date under the stated hierarchy.
| Record coverage | Source records |
|---|---|
| Qualified retained Closed/Sold records | 9,627 |
| Usable reporting date available | 9,172 |
| No usable reporting date | 455 |
Some records cannot be assigned to a period. The available dated-record figures are not labeled as complete market totals.

MLS sources and report methodology
Requested sources: Greater Alabama MLS and Walker County MLS. The coverage below identifies whether a complete combined snapshot can be established.
- Report area: Birmingham, Alabama. The website's MLS city search defines this cohort; postal localities, incorporated boundaries and county portions may differ. City figures are not replaced with county figures.
- As-of day: November 12, 2026. Source snapshot collected November 12, 2026 at 1:04 PM Central. A saved snapshot is not a claim of continuous live refresh.
- Property scope: Homes: residential, manufactured & condos. Home pricing groups residential, manufactured and condo sale properties only. Land, commercial, multifamily and farm/ranch views remain separate; rental asking prices are excluded.
- Pending status: Pending / Under Contract includes contingent and conditional properties. If a cross-listed property is Active in one feed and Pending in the other, it appears once under Pending.
- Prices: Current summaries use asking prices. Closed/sold summaries use actual source sold prices and the reporting-date hierarchy below. A median asking price does not establish an individual property's value or the price at which it will sell.
- Completeness: Complete totals require the full qualified source cohorts and verified handling of overlapping MLS records. Partial observations and their known-value counts are labeled. Missing information stays unavailable; a verified complete empty cohort may have a zero count.
- Comparisons: Prior-period and year-earlier changes require complete comparable cohorts and a valid nonzero baseline. Sold-volume, absorption and closing-history charts are not inferred from current listings.
- Sale-period dates: Records use their recorded closing or sold date first. If that is unavailable, the closed/sold status-change date is used; if neither is available, the actual property last-edit date is used. All qualifying records remain in one reported series. A last-edit date allocates the record to a reporting period and is not proof of a settlement on that date. Listing creation dates and a general feed refresh are not used.
- Marketing time: Only actual verified source marketing-time fields are used. Listing creation, modification and import dates do not become days on market or closing dates.
Current data limitations
- Complete dated closing history is not available for the report period.
- Some closing dates are missing or invalid.
- Additional source coverage is still being verified.
- Some records are missing asking price.
- Some records are missing original price.
- Some records are missing days on market.
- Some records are missing sqft.
- Some records are missing acres.
- Some records are missing list date.
- Some records are missing reporting date.
