Mobile and Baldwin County MLS Statistics - June 2008

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty ARE# 84291-0

">Each month we report the statistics gathered from the two MLS organizations in which we participate - the Mobile Area Association of Realtors and the Baldwin County Association of Realtors. We were suprised the number of sales was down from the previous month. Normally June's numbers are a little higher than May's but that was not the case this month. The median sales price in both counties went up.

These statistics include both single family and condominiums in Mobile County.  In Baldwin County, the numbers are for single family homes only.

Units Sold

As mentioned, the number of units sold was down in both counties.  In Baldwin County, the number of sales decreased by 4. In Mobile, the decrease was much more dramatic.  Overall sales are down 23% in Mobile County and 27% in Baldwin County compared to last year. Here is the spreadsheet and chart data.

In months where the number of sales is down (like it was in June), the absorption rate will also increase. In Mobile the absorption rate has increased 65% in the past year. In Baldwin County it has increased 40% in the past year. It is definitely a buyers market in both counties. Here is the data and chart for June
