April 2026 Baldwin County Housing Market Update

The latest Baldwin County Housing Report reflects a dynamic spring market, with strong year-over-year growth in the Resort market and continued stability across the Traditional residential sector. Buyer demand remained active throughout April as inventory levels and marketing trends continued to evolve heading deeper into the spring selling season.

Resort & Island Market Shows Strong Momentum

The Resort and Island-based residential market experienced significant gains in both pricing and sales activity during April 2026. The average residential sales price climbed to $807,773, marking a substantial increase from $716,671 in April 2025.

Homes in the Resort market spent slightly more time on the market, averaging 117 days, compared to 115 days a year ago. Despite the modest increase in marketing time, buyer activity remained strong.

Closed residential sales rose sharply year over year, with 209 properties sold in April 2026 compared to 169 sales in April 2025. Total residential sales volume also surged, reaching $168.8 million, up from $121.1 million last year.

While demand remained strong, new inventory tightened in the Resort market. April saw 314 new residential listings, down from 399 new listings during the same period in 2025.

Resort Area Land Market

Land sales activity in the Resort market also increased year over year, though pricing softened and properties required longer marketing periods.

A total of 12 land parcels sold in April 2026, generating $3.58 million in total sales volume, compared to 7 parcels totaling $2.53 million in April 2025.

The average land sales price declined to $298,687, down from $360,753 last year, while average days on market increased significantly to 349 days, compared to 190 days a year ago. New land listings also declined year over year, decreasing from 31 listings to 24.

Traditional Residential Market Remains Stable

Baldwin County’s Traditional residential market continued to demonstrate steady performance throughout April.

The average residential sales price remained relatively unchanged at $406,164, compared to $407,579 in April 2025. Homes moved slightly faster this year, with average days on market decreasing to 68 days, down from 70 days last April.

Closed residential sales remained consistent, with 475 homes sold in April 2026 compared to 479 sales a year ago. Total residential sales volume reached $192.9 million, slightly below the $195.2 million recorded in April 2025.

Inventory growth continued at a healthy pace within the Traditional market. New residential listings increased modestly to 718 new listings, compared to 690 last year.

Traditional Land Market

The Traditional land market reflected slightly softer activity year over year.

In April 2026, 65 land parcels sold, generating $10.55 million in total sales volume, compared to 68 parcels totaling $11.85 million in April 2025.

The average land sales price declined to $162,353, down from $174,304 last year. Average days on market increased to 185 days, compared to 152 days in April 2025. New land listings also declined, falling from 151 listings last year to 127 listings this April.

Market Outlook

As Baldwin County moves further into the spring and summer selling season, both the Resort and Traditional markets continue to show resilience and opportunity. The Resort market remains fueled by strong buyer demand and rising values, while the Traditional market continues to offer steady pricing and balanced inventory growth.

There’s just something different about earning it. 💯

Met with a FSBO seller who had four other agents sit at their table… and they chose us.
Not because of a flashy presentation.
Not because of empty promises.
But because we know the neighborhood.
Because we are in the neighborhood.
Because We don’t just sell here — I’m involved here.
That matters.
When you can speak to the neigborhood, the lifestyle, the hidden value, and what buyers are really looking for… it builds a level of trust you can’t fake.

Grateful for the opportunity and ready to get to work. 🏡🔥

If you’re thinking about selling — even if you’re considering FSBO — let’s talk. You might be surprised what the right strategy can do.
