June 2025 Alabama Gulf Coast Real Estate Stats
Vital Signs provides a visual representation of what's happening in the Alabama Gulf Coast real estate market. The color-coded numbers represent the absorption rate; the number of months it would take to sell every home on the market in a particular price range if no others were added. If the market is moving quickly, the absorption rate will fall below six months of supply, and if it's more of a buyer's market, it will jump above six months of supply. The rate is determined by dividing the number of units currently on the market by the number sold in the past month.
As we enter the heart of summer, the Gulf Coast real estate market continues its gradual shift, with new data revealing slight adjustments in inventory and market balance across Baldwin and Mobile counties. Here's your full breakdown:
Baldwin County Snapshot: Subtle Softening in Some Segments
Inventory levels have remained steady overall, with slight increases in higher-end properties leading to more buyer opportunities in specific price ranges.
Key Trends Compared to May:
- Daphne: The $400k–$499k market supply rose slightly to 3.9 months, while the sub-$300k range remains firmly a seller's market with under 3 months of supply.
- Fairhope: The $1M+ segment tightened from 14.7 months in May to 8.3 months in June, indicating increased sales activity in the luxury market.
- Spanish Fort: Remains balanced, with inventory hovering between 2.0 and 5.4 months, offering opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
- Foley: Inventory levels remain high in the $500k–$749k range (7.0 months), maintaining a slight buyer's edge.
- Gulf Shores & Orange Beach: Beach condos continue to reflect a strong buyer's market, with most price ranges showing 8 to 14+ months of supply.
Mobile County Snapshot: Balanced Conditions Persist
Mobile County's market continues its pattern of mixed conditions, with lower price ranges competitive and higher price points shifting toward buyers.
Key Trends Compared to May:
- Midtown: Supply in the $400k–$499k range rose from 2.2 to 5.0 months, increasing balanced conditions.
- Springhill: $100k–$199k inventory jumped significantly from 4.6 months in May to 17.8 months in June, creating a strong buyer's market in that segment.
- West Mobile: Lower price ranges ($100k–$299k) remain competitive at 3.6–4.2 months of supply, though inventory is up slightly.
- Semmes & Saraland: Continue to show balanced to seller-favored markets, with inventory under 5 months in nearly all ranges.
- Dauphin Island: Remains a buyer's market in nearly every price segment, with double-digit months of supply across most categories.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For Buyers:
- More options continue to emerge in the $500k+ market across both counties.
- Beach condos and select Midtown/Springhill segments present strong negotiating opportunities.
For Sellers:
- Homes priced under $400k remain competitive and should be marketed aggressively to maximize exposure.
- In higher-end markets, strategic pricing is essential to stand out among growing inventory.
Final Takeaway
Overall, the Baldwin and Mobile County real estate markets remain stable with slight softening in specific segments. As summer buying continues, working with an expert advisor who understands local inventory trends is key to making the most of current market dynamics.
