Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
South East Lake’s rolling three-month data shows prices easing compared with a year ago. The typical home value is down about 5 percent year over year, and the median list price is lower by roughly 14 percent. Sales activity has also slowed, with homes sold dropping more than 20 percent from last year.
Looking at the latest period ending in September 2026, inventory has shifted noticeably. Months of supply has surged to about 11 months, far above Birmingham’s 6.6 months, indicating buyers have more options locally even though the broader city skews more toward sellers. Homes are also taking slightly longer to sell than a year ago, with the median days on market at 91.
At the same time, a smaller share of properties are selling above list, now around 10 percent, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits near 91 percent, suggesting buyers have added room to negotiate. New listings are essentially flat year over year, so the softer pricing and higher supply appear more tied to demand than a flood of new homes. With pending sales up more than 13 percent from last year, some buyers are still moving decisively when they see the right opportunity. In this evolving environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent who understands South East Lake’s numbers and nuances.
