MARKET MONDAY | What Are the Numbers Telling Us?

The latest completed September numbers give us an interesting look at what's happening in Mobile and Baldwin Counties.

MOBILE COUNTY
• Median sold price: $235,450
• Active listings: 3,090
• Median days on market: 63

BALDWIN COUNTY — TRADITIONAL RESIDENTIAL
• Average sales price: $422,269
• Closed sales: 482
• New listings: 604
• Average days on market: 67

Here's what catches my attention.

Homes are still selling, but buyers have choices and they're taking some time to make decisions. In Baldwin County, the average sales price was actually higher than September of last year, even though fewer homes sold.

That's a good example of why simply hearing that “sales are down” doesn't tell you what your home is worth—or whether it's a good time for you to buy or sell.

The market is different by county, neighborhood, price range and sometimes even from one street to another.

If you're curious about what's happening around your home, let me know. We can look at the numbers for your neighborhood rather than trying to make a decision based on a national headline.

MIKE'S TAKE | Sometimes the Best Real Estate Advice Is “Don't Do It Yet.”

I make my living helping people buy and sell real estate, but that doesn't mean I believe every conversation should end with somebody putting a house on the market.

Sometimes it makes sense to sell.

Sometimes it makes sense to buy.

And sometimes the best decision is to stay exactly where you are for a while.

Maybe the numbers don't work yet. Maybe you need to make a few repairs. Maybe you're waiting on a job change, retirement or something happening within your family.

Or maybe after looking at everything, you realize you actually like where you are.

That's okay.

I think my job is to give someone enough good information to make the decision that's right for them—even when that decision doesn't result in a real estate transaction today.

If we sit down, look at the numbers and determine that waiting six months or a year makes more sense, I'm perfectly comfortable telling you that.

Because sooner or later, most of us will have another real estate decision to make.

And when that day comes, I'd rather you remember that I gave you a straight answer than remember that I tried to sell you something.

**REAL ESTATE REALITY | The First Week on the Market Matters**

One thing sellers don't always realize is just how important the first several days on the market can be.

When a new property hits the market, it's being seen for the first time by buyers who have already been watching and waiting for the right home.

That's your best opportunity to make a strong first impression.

Good photos matter.

Condition matters.

Presentation matters.

And **pricing matters.**

If we start considerably above what buyers believe the home is worth, they may not make a lower offer.

They may simply move on.

Then, a few weeks later, we can reduce the price—but we've lost something we can't get back:

**The home is no longer new to the market.**

That doesn't mean I believe in underpricing someone's home just to make it sell quickly. My job is to help a seller get the best reasonable price the market will support.

But there is a difference between **testing the market** and **missing the market.**

Getting the price and presentation right from the beginning gives us the best opportunity to do that.

**If you were selling your home, would you rather start high and leave room to negotiate—or price close to market value from day one?**

I'm curious what people think.

**MARKET MONDAY | Don't Let the Headlines Make Your Real Estate Decisions**

If you've paid much attention to real estate news lately, you've probably heard everything from *“the market is slowing down”* to *“home prices are still too high.”*

Both statements can be true somewhere.

But neither one necessarily tells you what's happening in **your neighborhood in Mobile or Baldwin County.**

That's one of the things I think gets overlooked when we talk about “the real estate market.”

There really isn't just one market.

What's happening with a $250,000 home in West Mobile may be completely different from a $500,000 home in Baldwin County. Even two neighborhoods a few miles apart can have different inventory, buyer demand and days on market.

So if you're thinking about selling, don't start with:

**“What is the housing market doing?”**

Start with:

**“What is the market doing for a property like mine?”**

That's a question we can actually answer with local numbers and recent comparable sales.

And sometimes the answer may surprise you.

**What are you seeing in your neighborhood—more For Sale signs, fewer, or about the same?**

MIKE'S TAKE | Waiting for the “Perfect Market” Can Become a Long Wait

I hear versions of this fairly often:

"We're thinking about moving, but we're waiting for the market to get better."

My first question is usually:

Better for what?

A seller may want higher prices.

A buyer may want lower prices.

Someone financing a purchase may want lower interest rates.

Someone selling one house and buying another has to think about both sides of the transaction.

That's why I think waiting for a “perfect” real estate market can be a mistake. I'm not saying everyone should buy or sell right now. Far from it.

I'm saying the better question is:

Does moving make sense for you right now?

Your family, finances, job, space requirements and plans for the next several years matter more than trying to predict exactly what the housing market will do six months from now.

The numbers are important. We should absolutely understand them.

But ultimately, the market should be part of your decision—not make the decision for you.

If you're trying to figure out whether now makes sense, I'm happy to sit down and work through the numbers with you.

No pressure. Sometimes the right answer really is “not yet.”

REAL ESTATE REALITY | Your Neighbor's House Sold for $400,000. What Does That Mean Yours Is Worth?

Maybe $400,000.

Maybe more.

Maybe less.

One of the most common conversations I have with homeowners starts with something like:

"The house down the street sold for $400,000, and ours is bigger."

That's useful information—but it isn't the whole answer.

Two houses in the same neighborhood can have very different values because of condition, updates, lot, floor plan, age of major systems, location within the neighborhood and what else is competing for buyers at that particular time.

And here's another important distinction:

What a house was listed for isn't necessarily what it sold for.

A good market analysis isn't about finding the highest-priced house nearby and using that number.

It's about finding the properties a buyer would realistically compare to yours and then making adjustments for the differences.

If you're curious what your property might be worth, I'm always happy to look at it with you—even if you have absolutely no plans to sell anytime soon.

Sometimes it's simply good information to know.

Baldwin County numbers need context.

Higher average prices and fewer sales can happen at the same time.

Baldwin REALTORS® reported 482 traditional residential sales in September, down from 585 a year earlier, while the average sales price rose to $422,269.

That doesn’t mean every home gained value.

The mix of homes sold affects the average. For your home, we need to look at comparable properties, condition, and location.
