Buyer’s market? Seller’s market? Let’s see where things stand.
If you’re keeping tabs on real estate in Daphne, this month’s data paints a clear picture of a stable, active market that’s holding steady—despite broader regional shifts.
By the Numbers
Active Listings:
415 homes for sale (⬆️ from 307 in July 2024)
Average Days on Market:
64 days (⬇️ slightly from 66 last year)
Average Listing Price:

Average Selling Price:

What This Means for You
Daphne is currently in a mildly balanced market with a slight tilt toward sellers.
Inventory is growing—but homes are selling slightly faster than last year and for slightly more money. Listing prices have dipped just a bit, but that appears to be a strategic move rather than a sign of weakening demand. Sellers are pricing homes to move, and buyers are stepping up with competitive offers.
This is a healthy, active market where both buyers and sellers can win—if they’re well-prepared and well-advised.
Why We Love Daphne
Known as “The Jubilee City,” Daphne is famous for the rare natural phenomenon where sea life rushes to the shore—and so do homebuyers.
Set along the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay, Daphne offers gorgeous bay views, top-rated schools (with a 93% graduation rate at Daphne High School!), tree-lined neighborhoods, and a lifestyle that blends Southern charm with modern convenience. Locals love May Day Park sunsets, athletic events at Al Trione Sports Complex, and easy access to the shops, dining, and entertainment options along Highway 98 and the Eastern Shore Centre.
Whether it’s the walkable neighborhoods, the proximity to the bay, or the close-knit community feel, Daphne continues to shine as one of Baldwin County’s most desirable places to call home.
