ROBERTSDALE, Ala. – The past month’s cooler temperatures were somewhat symbolic of Baldwin County’s real estate market in January. Baldwin REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service (MLS) reports year-over-year decreases in the total number of properties sold in January 2023 for both Resort and Traditional Residential areas of the county, as well as significant percentage increases for average days on market (DOM).
