Redfin cited $335,000 (March 2026) while Movoto cited a higher $379,000 (June 2026), with Homes.com citing roughly $345,000 -- all three are disclosed rather than reconciled to one figure, reflecting real differences in snapshot timing and methodology.
Daphne's larger, more suburban housing stock vs. Fairhope's premium downtown market
Every Daphne price citation sits meaningfully below Fairhope's own $459,726-$540,000 range -- a real, structural difference reflecting Daphne's larger volume of more standard suburban housing versus Fairhope's smaller, more premium historic-downtown market.
Baldwin County's broader growth context
Daphne's housing demand sits within Baldwin County's genuinely fast, national-tier population growth (267,761 countywide by 2025, per this project's companion Mobile record) -- real, sustained regional demand pressure layered on top of Daphne's own fast city-level growth (+15.83% since the 2020 Census).
The Bayway commute shapes real demand patterns
Daphne's direct I-10 Bayway access to Mobile is a real, practical driver of housing demand for buyers who work in Mobile but want Baldwin County schools, taxes, and lifestyle -- a genuine, structural demand pattern distinct from vacation/second-home demand in Gulf Coast beach markets.
