In contrast, the resort area, encompassing all of Orange Beach, Fort Morgan, and regions in Gulf Shores south of Canal Road/180, saw a decline in sales. A total of 93 properties were sold, down from 101 in February 2024, marking an 8% decrease. Nevertheless, the average sales price in this area rose by 14.6%, reaching $749,811.
