What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 486 closed sales in Montgomery over the last six months, with a median closing price of $123,875. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $60,000 and $210,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.

The Montgomery angle

Alabama's capital records the widest relative price dispersion in this group. The median across 486 tracked six-month closings was just $123,875, with the middle half stretching from $60,000 to $210,000, meaning the upper quartile is roughly three and a half times the lower one. A $60,000 bottom quartile in a city anchored by state government, Maxwell Air Force Base and regional manufacturing indicates that a large share of tracked closings are older or heavily deferred properties, many likely trading for cash. Tracked closings rose to 92 in April, 117 in May and 171 in June. The entry cost is low by any national standard, but a ratio this wide means the median is close to useless for underwriting and condition assessment carries nearly all the risk.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states.
