Birmingham Alabama Real Estate Market Ready For A Come Back

The Birmingham Alabama Real Estate Market got some great notoriety this month.

In an article by The Birmingham News, Magazine Says Birmingham Housing Market Ready for Rebound, we find that a major magazines ranked Birmingham very well on positioning for a real estate comeback.

Smart Money Magazine said that things such as a “healthy manufacturing sector, top cultural attractions and low costs for labor and land” are helping the area. Due to these things Birmingham got listed along with 25 other cities nationwide “that are primed to rally.”

Congratulations to the other cities are due, but for those of here in Alabama, let’s be glad we are on the good list!

 

September Birmingham Area New Home Sales Jump 9%

 

It’s nice to read some good news isn’t it? According to an article, Local New Home Sales Jump 9 Percent, September saw an increase in new home sales.

Now, existing home sales did experience a drop in the Birmingham area, but this is something we expected as the economy shows a shaky side and mortgage restrictions tighten.

The article also noted that the inventory of new homes on the market dropped as well to an 8 month inventory (from 9.1 months in August), and existing homes had an 11.3 month inventory.

Seeing inventory drop is something we see as positive (home builders might not) due to the fact when the inventory drops, the days on market adjusts naturally, and prices stabilize because home sellers don’t become so desperate and see their budgets tighten with some of them facing two house payments.
