Alabama’s housing market heated up in July with 7,361 home sales, a solid 19.8% spike from one year before. Sales were also up by 3.1% from June.
According to data from the Alabama Association of Realtors (AAR), July’s 22,006 active listings marked a post-pandemic high. Last month’s listings total was 6.3% more than the 20,698 recorded in July 2025 and 1.5% higher than the level set in June. Despite the spike in active listings, the 4.1 months of housing supply in July dipped from June’s 4.3 months.
During July, homes remained on the market for two days longer than the prior month, and one day longer than a year ago.
The July median home price of $287,750 was up by $47,166 (or 19.6%) from one year before; the month-over-month uptick was 2%. The sold dollar volume in July was $2.44 billion, a 39.4% surge over the same period last year and 4.7% higher than June.
“Mortgage rates climbed through July, yet home sales in Alabama continued to rise for the sixth consecutive month as well as year-over-year,” David Hughes, economist with the AAR. “While there are signs of pessimism nationally, there may be rate relief in the near future, and there are indicators that the state’s housing market will be more active than this time last year to end the summer.”
