Inventory: Total condos listed for sale in September declined 41.9% year-over-year from 735 to 427 listings. Months of supply decreased from 5.4 to 3.5, reflecting a market where sellers generally have elevated bargaining power.

Pricing: The Baldwin County condo median sales price in September was $345,000, a decrease of 6.6% from one year ago and a decrease of 2.8% from August. 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.
