📍Spanish Fort | December Market Snapshot

If you felt like homes took longer to sell and deals got a little more “negotiable”… you’re not imagining things. 😄

Dec 2024 → Dec 2025:
🏠 Active listings: 152 → 170 (up 11.84%)
⏳ Days on Market (closed homes): 53 → 82 (up 54.72%)
💰 Avg list price: $403,723 → $457,280 (up 13.27%)
✅ Avg sold price: $433,685 → $389,129 (down 10.27%)

What this means:
More homes available + homes taking longer to sell + sold prices down = buyers have more leverage and pricing strategy matters more for sellers.

🏡 Buyers: you’ve got options (and time)
With more inventory and longer DOM, you can shop smarter.
✅ Look for price reductions and listings sitting longer
✅ Negotiate repairs/credits (inspection = power tool)
✅ Don’t overpay just because the list price is ambitious

🏡 Sellers: you can’t “set it and forget it”
List prices rose, but sold prices dropped and DOM climbed—so buyers are pushing back.
✅ Price based on recent closed comps, not last spring’s headlines
✅ Make the home feel move-in ready (condition wins)
✅ Strong launch week matters: photos, prep, and a clear plan

💼 Investors: this is where patience pays
A softer sold price + longer DOM can create opportunities—if you run the numbers.
✅ Target properties with longer DOM (better terms)
✅ Stress-test expenses (insurance, maintenance, HOA if applicable)
✅ Focus on cash flow + long-term location value, not hype

📍Daphne | December Market Snapshot
Daphne’s December numbers are giving: more time, more strategy, and more negotiating power. 🧠💥

Dec 2024 → Dec 2025:
🏠 Active listings: 324 → 336 (up 3.70%)
⏳ Days on Market (closed homes): 63 → 74 (up 17.46%)
💰 Avg list price: $394,467 → $421,797 (up 6.93%)
✅ Avg sold price: $440,159 → $341,851 (down 22.33%)

What this means:
List prices rose a bit, but sold prices dropped sharply and homes took longer to sell. That usually points to a market where buyers are negotiating harder and sellers need to be very realistic on pricing and condition.

🏡 Buyers: this is leverage season
More time on market + lower sold prices = room to get terms that fit your life.
✅ Use recent closed sales as your anchor (not the list price)
✅ Negotiate repairs/credits—especially for roofs, HVAC, and big-ticket items
✅ Be patient… but ready to move when value pops up

🏡 Sellers: you must price for today, not yesterday
The market is rewarding the homes that are priced right and prepared right.
✅ Get ahead of objections: repairs, cleaning, curb appeal
✅ Price based on what’s closing, not what you hope for
✅ Consider strategic incentives (closing costs, rate buy-down) to protect your net

💼 Investors: opportunity is real, but underwriting has to be tight
This is where investors can win—if the numbers work after real costs.
✅ Target listings sitting longer and negotiate on price + terms
✅ Model insurance, maintenance, vacancy and property taxes accurately
✅ Focus on rentals with strong fundamentals (location, condition, rent comps)

📍Fairhope | December Market Snapshot
Fairhope did not “cool off.” It just got… more selective. And more expensive. 😅

Dec 2024 → Dec 2025:
🏠 Active listings: 384 → 422 (up 9.90%)
⏳ Days on Market (closed homes): 79 → 93 (up 17.72%)
💰 Avg list price: $518,526 → $753,642 (up 45.34%)
✅ Avg sold price: $551,052 → $688,728 (up 24.98%)

What this means:
Inventory is up and homes are taking longer to sell, but prices (especially at the top end) moved higher. Buyers are being choosy, and sellers still have strength if they price and present correctly.

🏡 Buyers: don’t panic—get strategic
More inventory + longer DOM = more chances to negotiate, even in Fairhope.
✅ Don’t anchor to list price—watch recent closings
✅ Ask for repairs/credits when the home isn’t turnkey
✅ Be ready to move fast on the right home (the good ones still get attention)

🏡 Sellers: you can win big… but you must earn it
List prices jumped hard, but DOM also rose—meaning overpricing gets punished.
✅ Price based on what’s closing now, not what you “heard”
✅ Presentation is everything: photos, staging, curb appeal
✅ If you want top dollar, make it feel easy to say yes

💼 Investors: Fairhope rewards quality and patience
Sold prices rose, but longer DOM means deals can still be found—especially when a property isn’t positioned well.
✅ Target homes sitting longer and negotiate on terms
✅ Run full costs (insurance, taxes, maintenance—don’t guess)
✅ Think in hold time + rentability + resale appeal (Fairhope is picky)
