Gulf Coast's historic real estate market benefits both sellers and buyers
Alabama's Gulf Coast contains several real estate markets depending on location and price point – just to name a few factors. What may be true of the market in Daphne at one price point is often not for Fairhope at another. Same goes from one Mobile neighborhood to another. What makes our current real estate housing market rare is that almost all markets in our area have something in common: an increase in demand and limited supply.
The combination of delayed sales due to COVID-19 last year and historically low interest rates culminated into a historically strong seller's market for our area in 2020 that has continued well into this year. As more people want to purchase homes than there are homes available for sale in many price points and areas along the Gulf Coast, we've seen a corresponding rise in home prices.

August 2021 Alabama Gulf Coast real estate stats
Alabama's Gulf Coast contains several real estate markets depending on location and price point – just to name a few factors. The graphic below shows real estate statistics for August 2021, the latest month available.

Tips to pet proof your home for this school year
The mad dash out the door each morning has begun yet again. With school bells now ringing across the Gulf Coast, the adjustment to back-to-school life after a summer of fun is in full swing.
But as the kids are trying to find charging cords and you're doing your best to remember to hand them lunches before rushing out the door, it's easy to forget the family members that are staying at home this school year: your pets.
If you got a new pet during quarantine last year, chances are this school year is the first true test of them staying at home full time. Even if it isn't, we've all gotten out of the habit of going places regularly – and the same is true for Fido. You may have already come across some chewed...
