Key Insights
Balanced to Buyer-Favored Market
-
Inventory under $400,000 remains tighter, indicating a balanced to seller-leaning environment.
-
Higher price points ($750,000 and above) reflect buyer-favored conditions, with nearly 8 to 10 months of supply.
Strong Mid-Range Activity
The $500,000–$749,999 range saw the highest activity, with 13 homes sold last month and 4.5 months of supply—just below the six-month threshold for a balanced market.
Tip for Sellers: This price segment is highly active. If you're thinking about listing, now may be a great time to take advantage of buyer movement.
Luxury Market Trends
Homes priced at $1M+ and $750K–$999K show higher months of supply, suggesting increased buyer leverage and the need for competitive pricing.
Advice for Buyers: With more choices and longer days on market, this is a smart time to negotiate for high-end homes or custom builds in premier neighborhoods like Ono Island or Terry Cove.
Lower Price Point Alert
Inventory remains limited under $400,000, with homes selling quickly when priced well. The 2.3–4.0 months of supply in this segment shows a healthier turnover and continued demand.
What This Means for You
For Sellers:
-
Price strategically: Overpricing in higher segments could lead to extended days on market.
-
Highlight lifestyle: Waterfront access, marina proximity, and outdoor features are key differentiators.
-
Stage for success: With more options available, staging and presentation can make a major impact.
For Buyers:
-
More choices: Particularly in higher-end categories, with room for negotiation.
-
Act quickly in the sub-$500K range: Inventory is moving faster here, especially for updated or move-in-ready homes.
Looking Ahead
As we move further into spring, we may see a seasonal uptick in activity, especially from second-home buyers and those relocating from out of state. Inventory in Orange Beach remains strong, offering both opportunity and flexibility for buyers and sellers alike.
