It's not really just about desirability. The overall health of almost all inner burbs have significantly improved since 20 something years, they're not on shaky ground as was once believed. Obviously the most desirable burbs maintain their positions but there was a time somewhere like Ferndale was considered icky and too close to the city proper and people wouldn't dare touch it. That attitude has completely reversed now.
The big changed in desirability is the city itself, a neighborhood in the city proper like Brush Park will soon surpass peak Birmingham property values.
