Gulf Shores Real Estate news

Baldwin County has been one of the fastest growing areas in the U.S.. With the uncertainty of interest rates, rising insurance cost and a federal election on the horizon, the area has experienced a calming of the real estate market. We always consider the monthly report by the Baldwin REALTORS® as a bellwether of the current market conditions.


While Baldwin County home sellers seem more interested in entering the local real estate market, home buyers continue to show reluctancy. Baldwin REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service (MLS) reports a 12.4% year-over-year increase in New Listings added in Baldwin County for September 2024. However, the number of Closed Sales decreased and Average Days on Market increased for both the Traditional Residential and Resort/Island-based county submarkets. Additionally, the Traditional Residential properties in the county saw a slight Average Sales Price increases, while the Resort/Island-based properties experienced a dip in sold prices.
