Market Updates
What the Gulf Coast market is actually doing.
Numbers, with the context that makes them mean something. An average never tells you what to offer on the house you love — but it does tell you which questions to ask.
More Choice Does Not Mean Every Home Is Negotiable
Today's market gives many buyers more room to think and negotiate than the frenzy years did, but leverage is not evenly distributed. It changes by neighborhood, price point, property condition, and how much competition a specific home attracts.

What this means for you: an average does not tell us what to offer on the house you love. Homes were selling a few percent below list on average, while sought-after homes could still sell around list and move quickly. Baldwin's submarkets range dramatically, from roughly a month in North Baldwin to well over three months for coastal condos.
There is no single "Mobile & Baldwin market." There is the market for the home you want, where you want it, at the price you are willing to pay.
