In the state of Alabama the real estate market is doing fairly well considering the conditions that exist all over the country. Currently real estate is a mixed bag in Alabama, with the total dollar value of transactions increasing from a year ago while at the same time total number of units sold is down. This suggests that prices in the state are beginning to moderate and trend upward. While experts don't expect housing prices to return to their peak of just a few years ago, the slight increase in value is being seen as the first signs of a rebounding market.
