Best In Alabama Real Estate™: Baldwin County

🏆 Ranked #1 in New Home Permits in Alabama — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. Baldwin County’s 25.8% drop in new home permits isn’t a warning sign — it’s a strategic pivot. After years of rapid growth, the market is shifting from volume to value. The data from ALEX Intelligence’s new report shows that even as approvals slow, the county remains the top-permitting jurisdiction in Alabama. This isn’t a collapse — it’s a recalibration.
