Mobile County Real Estate Market Update – June 2025

As we step into the heart of summer, Mobile County’s real estate market is shifting in ways that both buyers and sellers should pay close attention to. Whether you're looking to make a move or simply keeping an eye on trends, here's a breakdown of what’s happening this June and how it might affect your real estate goals.

What’s Going On in the Market?

🔻 Price Trends

After months of rapid changes, home prices in Mobile County are stabilizing. The median sale price in May 2025 was around $245,640, reflecting a modest 1.3% increase year-over-year. While we’re not seeing the wild appreciation that defined the market in recent years, this kind of gradual growth is a healthy sign of balance returning.

Other sources show a slight dip — Redfin reports a 2.1% year-over-year decrease, bringing the median closer to $235,000. The variation reflects how price shifts can differ neighborhood to neighborhood, especially with more inventory and slower sales speeds.

🏡 Inventory is Up

A major story this month is inventory growth. Over 1,970 homes were listed in Mobile County in May — a 29% jump from the month before. This signals a clear shift toward a buyer’s market, where home seekers have more options and sellers need to be strategic.

Homes are now taking 42 days on average to sell, compared to just 31 days this time last year. Fewer homes are receiving multiple offers or selling above asking price — only about 25% are going over list — which makes it a great moment for buyers to negotiate.

What This Means for Buyers

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the “right time,” this could be it. With more homes on the market, less competition, and softening price trends, you have breathing room to tour multiple properties, compare options, and negotiate better terms — whether that’s seller-paid closing costs, inspection credits, or even price reductions.

First-time homebuyers in particular may benefit from this market, as many sellers are more flexible than they were even six months ago. Working with the right agent (👋) and getting connected to a trusted lender could turn your dream of homeownership into reality before the end of summer.

What This Means for Sellers

While the days of instant offers and bidding wars may have cooled, this is still a strong market for well-prepared sellers. The key now is standing out.

Price competitively based on current data — not what your neighbor sold for last year.
Make your home shine — whether that means small repairs, decluttering, or staging.
Market aggressively — professional photos, video tours, and strong online presence make a big difference.

The good news? Homes in great condition and priced right are still selling — just not as fast. If you’re planning to list, think strategy over speed.

For Investors?

Mobile County continues to offer value for investors looking for long-term upside. Whether you’re looking for a duplex, a small home to flip, or a rental property near the University of South Alabama or downtown, this softer market may offer a better entry point.

With rising rental demand and relatively affordable home prices compared to national averages, Mobile remains one of the Southeast’s hidden gems for real estate investment.
