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. The average DOM also increased significantly by 64.1%, with properties staying on the market for 133 days compared to 81 days in February 2024.​


These figures highlight the contrasting dynamics within Baldwin County's real estate market, with traditional residential areas showing increased sales and stable prices, while resort areas face reduced sales but higher average prices.​


Despite slower sales in the resort market, the rise in home prices reflects continued demand in Baldwin County. Local real estate experts will be watching to see if this trend continues as the spring market approaches.
