Cities with the fastest-growing home prices in the Birmingham metro area

The real estate frenzy spurred by the coronavirus pandemic continues, though at a slower pace. Buyers are still competing for a limited supply of housing, driving up prices for affordable properties.

The typical home value in the United States was a record $351,423 in August, 1.3% higher than the year before.
