Best In Alabama Real Estate™: Baldwin County

Baldwin County’s in-migration fell 3.5% year-over-year between 2021-22 and 2022-23, according to ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis. Yet home sales in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach hit record highs, with prices up 12% YoY. What’s driving this disconnect? The data suggests that while new arrivals are slowing, local demand and infrastructure investment are now the primary engines of growth. This marks a shift from a migration-driven market to a self-sustaining coastal economy.
