What’s actually going on
Fairhope moved up 1% since last month’s read, to an average sale of $647,755. The pending ratio — the share of listed homes already under contract — is 13%, up from 12% a month ago.
Homes take an average of 80 days to sell (54 days at the median), and there are 4.5 months of inventory on the market — up from 4.3 last month.
Between four and six months of supply is a balanced market: neither side holds all the cards, and pricing correctly matters more than timing.
The gap between the average ($647,755) and the median ($535,000) tells you how much the high-end sales pull the average up.
If you’re selling
With 338 homes listed and about 76 selling a month, you’re competing against roughly 4.5 months of inventory. The pending ratio — 13% — 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
338 homes are on the market and only 43 are under contract. At 80 days to sell, anything that’s been listed longer than that is worth an offer below asking.

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.
