What’s actually going on
The six-month average sale price is about the same as last month’s read, at $650,809. The pending ratio — the share of listed homes already under contract — is 22%, up from 13% a month ago. The sales figures cover a rolling six months, so most of these sales were also in last month’s read. Treat the change as a drift, not a new trend.
Homes take an average of 78 days to sell, and there are 3.9 months of inventory on the market — down from 4.5 last month. Over the six months, 450 homes sold, and sellers got an average of 96.7% of list price.
Under four months of supply is where the market starts to tilt toward sellers, and Fairhope is just there. A well-priced home gets attention; one priced on hope still sits.
If you’re selling
With 294 homes listed and about 75 selling a month, you’re competing against roughly 3.9 months of inventory. The pending ratio — 22% — is the number to watch: it’s the share of listed homes that have actually found a buyer, and it tells you more about current conditions than the average price does.
If you’re buying
294 homes are on the market and 65 are under contract. At 78 days to sell on average, anything that’s been listed longer than that is worth a conversation about price.

A note on this data: Baldwin County figures come from AreaPro and cover a rolling six-month period using averages, while our Florida city reports use single-month medians from the Pensacola MLS. The two aren’t directly comparable — averages run higher than medians, and a six-month window smooths out short-term movement. Compare Baldwin cities to each other, and Florida cities to each other. Median sale price and price per square foot weren’t available in this month’s AreaPro pull, so every price and day count on this page is a six-month average.
