H
omes priced near $1 million are on the rise in Birmingham, with 30 listings currently available. Mountain Brook is the most expensive city to buy a home in Alabama, but many of these high-end listings have addresses around the metro area. The typical Alabama home was valued at around $223,000 last year, making it one of the cheapest states for homeowners.

    According to Redfin Premier agent Jonathan Huffer, "The $1 million mark used to signal true luxury; now, in many parts of the country, it simply means the price of a typical home." This reflects how dramatically home prices have risen, especially in coastal markets where million-dollar listings are becoming the norm.

    * 2600 Arlington Ave S #83, Birmingham: $1,000,000 (2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms)
