What’s actually going on

On the six-month rolling numbers, the average sale price is up about 2% from last month’s read, to $981,984. The pending ratio — the share of listed homes already under contract — is 10%, up from 8% 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 122 days to sell, and there are 6.6 months of inventory on the market — up from 6.4 last month. Over the six months, 542 homes sold, and sellers got an average of 95.9% of list price.

This is what a resort market looks like. Much of the inventory is second homes and rental units whose owners have no deadline, so the leverage sits with buyers and a seller who needs to move by a date should price for it rather than hope.

If you’re selling

With 596 homes listed and about 90 selling a month, you’re competing against roughly 6.6 months of inventory. The pending ratio — 10% — 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

596 homes are on the market and 57 are under contract. At 122 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.
