Birmingham’s rolling three-month snapshot through June 2026 shows more options for shoppers but slightly slower turnover than a year ago. Active listings are roughly flat year over year, yet months of supply has risen about 24 percent to 3.1, pointing to more breathing room than last summer. Pending sales are only slightly below last year, indicating that demand is still present even as buyers take a bit more time.
Pricing has adjusted but remains strong at the higher end. The typical home value over the rolling period is up a little more than 9 percent compared with a year earlier, while the median list price is down about 10 percent year over year, suggesting sellers are pricing more realistically to meet the market. Homes are taking longer to go under contract than last June, with median days on market up sharply year over year, even though current listings still go under contract in about three weeks on average.
Competition has cooled from last summer but has not disappeared. Roughly 30 percent of recent sales closed above asking, and the average sale-to-list ratio is essentially at full price, signaling that well-priced homes still attract solid offers. With 41.81 percent of homes going off market within two weeks, buyers must stay prepared while sellers need sharp pricing and marketing.
