As of July 10, 2025, the new construction market on Ono Island in Orange Beach, Alabama has shown a promising and diverse performance over the past six months. With a mix of high-end waterfront estates and more affordable interior lots, buyers are finding unique opportunities to invest in one of the Gulf Coast’s most prestigious gated communities.
Sales Performance: January–June 2025
In the past six months, three new construction homes closed on Ono Island:
-
Average sold price: $1,059,667
-
Price range: $850,000 to $1,169,000
-
Average price per square foot: $339.29
-
Average days on market: Just 36
These figures suggest strong buyer confidence, especially for well-priced homes with thoughtful design and high-quality construction. Notably, every home sold was Gold Fortified, which is now a requirement for new builds on the island—offering enhanced protection against hurricanes and potential insurance savings.
Active Listings: July 2025
There are currently 7 active new construction homes for sale on Ono Island:

-

-

What stands out is the architectural diversity—from contemporary and craftsman-style homes to French Country and Mediterranean estates. Some listings boast extensive features like boat docks with 10,000 lb lifts, saltwater pools, wine coolers, geothermal HVAC systems, and even private elevators.
“Buyers aren’t just looking for homes—they’re looking for lifestyle,” one local builder told me recently. “And Ono Island delivers that in spades.”
Buyer Preferences & Investment Trends
More buyers are choosing to build custom homes or purchase new construction over renovating older properties. This shift is largely due to the appeal of:
-
Energy efficiency and Gold Fortification
-
Custom finishes like quartz countertops and wide-plank hardwood flooring
-
Modern layouts with bonus spaces like offices, wet bars, and outdoor kitchens
-
Low maintenance for second-home owners and investors
I’m seeing growing interest from out-of-state buyers, particularly those looking for second homes that may eventually become primary residences. Many are drawn by Ono Island’s boating amenities, private security, and strong community atmosphere.
As one of my recent clients said, “I want a place where I can hear the sound of the water but not the buzz of tourists.” That’s exactly what Ono Island offers—privacy and prestige without sacrificing access to the Gulf, The Wharf, and local marinas.
My Predictions for the Rest of 2025
Here’s where I see the new construction market on Ono Island heading:
-
Inventory will stay tight: With limited vacant lots available and high demand, I expect inventory to remain low—especially for completed homes under $1.2M.
-
Waterfront lots will climb in value: With fewer available each year, prime canal and bay-access lots will continue to attract top-dollar buyers.
-
More buyers will pursue “to-be-built” opportunities: Custom lot/home packages—especially those where plans, permits, and finishes are already in place—will be a key path to maximizing ROI.
As someone who represents builders and buyers alike, I’m helping clients streamline the process by offering turnkey land and construction packages on select Ono Island lots. This approach reduces risk for builders and accelerates equity-building for buyers.
