Baldwin County's June 2020 Housing Report
Baldwin County's June 2020 Housing Report
Residential Real Estate is making an Encouraging Rebound from COVID-19
ROBERTSDALE, Ala. – The rebound we’ve all been hoping for is here. While Baldwin
REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service (MLS) typically reports from a year-over-year view of the
housing market, the more accurate data during this bizarre year is seen when comparing
month-over-month statistics. Both average sales prices and the amount of closed sales have
increased since May 2020 in the Traditional Residential and the Resort/Island-based areas of
Baldwin County. Traditional Residential homes saw a 46% increase in closed sales from May
2020 to June 2020, while the Resort/Island-based market saw a whopping 97% increase
between the two months.
In previous monthly housing market reports, provided by Baldwin REALTORS®, it was stated
that the Resort/Island-based market of Baldwin County was more negatively impacted by the
Coronavirus shutdown. The numbers seen in June 2020 are much more encouraging for this
area of our county. Average sales price reports at $426,657, which is a 2.1% increase from May
2020. The average days properties spent on the market has increased from 85 to 98 days, and
though this is not as positive, it may be explained by some new buying trends we are seeing at
a national level.
REALTOR® Magazine reports that homes that have sat on the market for years are now
receiving numerous offers for purchase. This trend derives from the current historically low
interest rates making it cheaper to own rather than rent. This reporting is also supported by the
number of closed sales in the Resort/Island-based area almost doubling from May 2020, which
saw 133 closed sales. June 2020 reports 262 closed sales for this area of our county.
Baldwin County’s Traditional Residential area showed positive reporting with an average sales
price of $270,869, which is a 2.4% increase from May 2020. Average days on market for this
area of the county holds firm at 64 days for both May and June of this year. This number
continues to be significantly lower than 2019’s days on market, indicating homes are quickly
being purchased right now. The number of closed sales in the Traditional Residential market for
June 2020 was 591, which is a 46% increase from May 2020 and a 25% increase from June
2019.
All in all, the residential real estate industry is showing great signs of rebound. As the cases for
Coronavirus continue to rise in Baldwin County, it is a true waiting game to see how this will
affect the housing market in the second half of 2020.
