Inventory: Total condos listed for sale in May declined 62.7% year-over-year from 652 to 243 listings. Months of supply decreased from 6.9 to 1.2, reflecting a market where sellers generally have elevated bargaining power.

Pricing: The Baldwin County condo median sales price in May was $429,000, an increase of 15.7% from one year ago and a decrease of 7.4% from April. The differing sample size (number of residential sales of comparative months) can contribute to statistical volatility, including pricing. ACRE recommends consulting with a local real estate professional to discuss pricing, as it will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood.

Condos sold in May averaged 40 days on the market (DOM) a record low, and 23 days faster than one year ago.

Forecast: May sales were 195 units, or 6.59%, above the Alabama Center for Real Estate’s (ACRE) monthly forecast. ACRE projected 183 sales for the month, while actual sales were 195 units.
