ROBERTSDALE, Ala. – Baldwin County’s housing market displayed a mix of changes this past
month, with notable shifts in sales activity and prices. According to Baldwin REALTORS® Multiple
Listing Service (MLS) statistics, the Resort submarket saw a significant rise in average sales
prices due to several sales exceeding $1 million, while the Traditional Residential submarket
experienced an increase in closed sales but a slight decline in prices. Overall, November 2024
showcased steady market activity with growing inventory levels in both submarkets.
Resort Submarket
The Resort area of Baldwin County (including Orange Beach, Fort Morgan, and Gulf Shores south
of AL-180) reported an average sales price of $976,882 for November 2024, reflecting a 27.1%
increase compared to November 2023. This substantial growth is due to 21 of the 87 properties
selling for greater than $1 million in price. However, listings spent 125 days on market (DOM) on
average, compared to 86 days last year, indicating a slower pace of transactions. New listings in
the Resort area grew by 10%, with 231 properties listed this past month compared to 210 in
November 2023. Closed sales, however, declined from 98 properties sold in 2023 to 87 properties
sold this year.
Traditional Residential Submarket
Baldwin County’s Traditional Residential area (covering all Baldwin County properties outside the
Resort market) saw a slight 5% decline in average sales price, dropping from $399,877 in
November 2023 to $379,841 in November 2024. Properties in this market spent an average of 60 days on market, a modest increase of five days compared to last year. Closed sales in the
Traditional Residential market rose by 4.4%, with 329 properties sold this past month, up from 315
in November 2023. New listings also saw a notable increase, climbing from 433 in 2023 to 480 in
November 2024.
Summary
While Baldwin County’s housing market continues to adapt to changing conditions, November
2024 demonstrated resilience in both submarkets. The Resort area achieved significant price
growth despite fewer sales, while the Traditional Residential market experienced increased
activity with more properties coming to market. These trends highlight the region’s diverse appeal
