A look at the market statewide
According to the Alabama Association of Realtors (who have released March trends for the state), home sales across the state increased considerably in March, consistent with expert analysis of the spring market.
A few March real estate points:
- Alabama had 5,438 home sales in March,a decrease of 776 from last year but an increase of 8.2% from the previous month.
- The median sales price increased by $45,139 compared to a year ago to $262,009. This is an annual increase of 20.8% and a 4.8% increase month-over-month.
- The sold volume was $1.56 billion in March 2026, a decrease of $0.03 billion from last March. This marks a 1.9% annual decrease, but a 9.1% increase month-over-month.
- The 20,355 active listings at the end of March mark an increase of 10.5% compared to 18,415 one year ago.
- The 689 foreclosures in March represent a 54.8% increase year-over-year and a 21.3% increase month-over-month.
“Sellers across Alabama continue to benefit from record-level equity and consistent price growth, while buyers are finding relief in the most diverse inventory landscape in several years. The statewide market is on track to maintain its traditional seasonal upward trajectory, but it is likely to be more subdued than in previous years.”
