5 gems on the Birmingham home market under $250K

I love drooling over an outrageously gorgeous home as much as the next person. However, a listing price that ends with an M isn’t exactly ideal for many of us. The good news in Birmingham is you can find some absolute gems for under $250,000. Check these out!

1. For those who want outdoor space for the pups or the kiddos

This brick home near Birmingham-Southern College has tons of updates throughout, but they did keep the gorgeous fireplace that caught my eye right off the bat. It has a huge fenced-in yard, and it’s coming on the market Sept. 15.
