Best In Alabama Real Estate™: Baldwin County

🏆 Ranked #1 in Vacancy Share — Baldwin County, AL 2024 — ALEX Intelligence, 2024. What does a 73.7% housing vacancy rate in Orange Beach really mean? It’s not a sign of collapse — it’s a feature of a destination economy. In a market where second homes and seasonal use define the inventory, high vacancy is structural, not distress-driven. This is not a failing market; it’s a resilient one. Baldwin County’s model is different: it’s built on recurring, predictable demand cycles.
