Sales are brisk at Eton Street Station in downtown Birmingham

While many developers are fighting through a cold housing market in the dog days of summer, Crosswinds Communities are enjoying sales brisk enough at its Eton Street Station development in downtown Birmingham to warrant a visit from Mr. Plow.

So far 89 units of the 123-unit development have sold. Since the developers knocked $100,000 off the price in March, homes have been selling at about two or three units a month. That's a pretty good rate considering the sluggish market and starting price of $249,990, according to Jim Agemy, director of sales for Crosswinds Communities. "In the last few months we have been doing very well," Agemy says.

The brownstone-style lofts are built at the corner of Eton Street and Villa Road. Each unit includes a two-car attached garage, brick exteriors, 90% high efficiency furnace, Anderson windows and doors, walking distance to downtown Birmingham.
