What's actually going on
Orange Beach is the most expensive market in this entire coverage area, Florida included — an average sale of $943,923 across all property types, and $1,130,882 for single-family homes alone.
It's also among the slowest. 117 days to sell, 6.5 months of supply, and a pending ratio of 7% — the lowest of any city covered here. Only about one listing in fourteen is under contract.
That combination is normal for a luxury beach market. The buyer pool is small, discretionary, and in no hurry, and the sellers largely aren't either. What it means practically is that pricing has to be right on the first attempt: with 658 homes listed and 101 selling a month, there is no shortage of alternatives for a buyer who thinks yours is ambitious.
If you're selling
With 658 homes listed and about 101 selling a month, you're competing against roughly 6.5 months of inventory. The pending ratio — 7% — 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
658 homes are on the market and only 48 are under contract. At 117 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.
