According to data from Zillow, home prices in the 35216 zip code have increased by an average of 9.5% over the past year. In fact, as of August 2017, homes in this zip code are worth an average of $157,000. This is significantly higher than the statewide average home value of $127,000 and even higher than some other nearby zip codes that have seen even more significant increases in home values over the past year (such as 35217 which has seen an increase of 12%).

One possible explanation for this high level of home value growth in the 35216 zip code may be its proximity to downtown Birmingham which has seen significant redevelopment over recent years. Additionally, many new residential developments have been constructed in this area which may also contribute to increased demand for housing units and consequently higher home prices.

Despite these positive trends, it is important to keep in mind that there are still areas within this zip code that are considerably less expensive than others (for example areas near Lakeview or Mountain Brook). Additionally, while home values have increased significantly over recent years there is still room for further appreciation if buyers can find properties that meet their specific needs and desires.
