What This Means for You
Fairhope is currently in a moderate seller’s market, though it’s showing signs of cooling from last year’s faster pace.
Inventory is up, and homes are taking longer to sell—but selling prices have jumped significantly, and listing prices are following suit. That tells us demand is still strong, especially in the mid-to-high-end price brackets. Well-prepared, well-located homes are still commanding top dollar.
If you’re a buyer, expect less urgency than last year—but don’t expect deep discounts either. If you’re a seller, the market still favors you—but only if your home is priced strategically and marketed well.
Why We Love Fairhope
Fairhope isn’t just a town—it’s a lifestyle.
From the flower-lined streets of downtown to the iconic Fairhope Pier, this artsy bayside community blends small-town charm with cultural flair. It’s home to independent shops, farm-to-table restaurants, and an ever-growing calendar of events, from art walks and outdoor concerts to the famous Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival.
And let’s not forget the sunsets—they’re legendary.
Whether you’re looking for a custom bayfront estate or a cozy cottage under the oaks, Fairhope continues to attract those who value beauty, community, and a touch of magic.
