I believe that it is very important for home sellers to understand the buyer’s market that we are now experiencing by giving those who wish to list their homes my very best advice. As a real estate expert in the Birmingham, Alabama areas of Mountain Brook, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Hoover, Inverness, and the Highway 280 Corridor to Chelsea, I believe that it is a huge mistake to list your home at a price above what the current market will bear.
Price is currently driving the market, and everyone wants a bargain. To be competitive and have serious traffic through your home, the listing price must be what the current market reflects, regardless of what homes sold for in your neighborhood several months ago.
Remember, when you want to buy your next home you will get the same great prices from the other side of the transaction. Try to be realistic if you must sell your home now. We cannot control the market, but we can control the price!

3325 Brook Highland Circle Birmingham AL 35242 Home For Sale
CLICK FOR DETAILS OF 3325 BROOK HIGHLAND CIRCLE BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA 35242
One of my fondest memories of the beautiful Brook Highland Subdivision off of Highway 280 was working with a very large and lovely family with seven children. Supervising everything from paint colors to furniture and accessory placement, I was able to turn their house into a home. We became great friends, and periodically, I was asked to help with little updates to their home because of my Interior Design background. When a job transfer occurred a few years later, they were forced to sell their much loved Brook Highland home in a slow winter selling season during an economic downturn. With the advantage of professional home staging, their home sold in only 47 days.
Beautiful, livable homes are just one of the things that draw residents to real estate in Brook Highland Subdivision.
As a neighborhood, Brook Highland has wonderful amenities that give this area great appeal:
Directions: From I-459 North towards Atlanta/Gasden via Exit 250, merge right onto U.S. Highway 280 East towards Childersburg. Turn left onto Highway 119 / Cahaba Valley Road and travel 0.5 miles. Enter the subdivision by taking the second left onto Brook Highland Parkway.
