What's actually going on
Gulf Shores has 7.5 months of inventory — the deepest supply of anywhere on the Gulf Coast, Florida or Alabama. There are 834 homes and condos listed and only 77 under contract, a pending ratio of 9%.
Homes take a median of 113 days to sell. Nearly four months.
This is what a resort condo market looks like, and it isn't a crisis — most of that inventory is second homes and rental units whose owners have no deadline. But it does mean the leverage sits firmly with buyers right now, and a seller who needs to move by a date should price for it rather than hope.
The average sale was $586,071 across all property types.
If you're selling
With 834 homes listed and about 111 selling a month, you're competing against roughly 7.5 months of inventory. The pending ratio — 9% — 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
834 homes are on the market and only 77 are under contract. At 113 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.
