Strong Coastal Sales Lift Baldwin County Summer Real Estate

OBA Staff • August 12, 2025

Resort sector records higher sales and prices than last year

Robertsdale, Ala. — (OBA) — Baldwin County’s housing market posted mixed results in July 2025, with Resort-area sales and prices climbing, while Traditional Residential sales slowed despite moderate price gains. Data from Baldwin REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service (MLS) shows average sales prices rose in both segments compared to July 2024. However, sales volume trends took different paths, with beach-area properties fueling the strongest growth.

The Resort market — covering Orange Beach, Fort Morgan, and Gulf Shores south of Canal Road/180 — saw more properties sold, higher prices, and a boost in total sales volume. The Traditional Residential market recorded a year-over-year dip in the number of homes sold and saw listings stay on the market longer.
