Foley's median sale price of $328,000 (January 2026, Redfin, +2.1% YoY) sits well below Gulf Shores' $452K-$458K figures documented elsewhere in this project -- the clearest reason a budget-conscious buyer would choose Foley within Baldwin County.
A genuinely slower, if still positive, market pace
Homes in Foley averaged 95 days on market in January 2026, up from 64 days the prior year, even as sales volume grew slightly (56 homes sold, up from 52) and price per square foot rose modestly ($176, +2.3% YoY) -- a real, disclosed characteristic of a market absorbing more inventory more slowly rather than one still accelerating.
A strong local commercial and healthcare anchor supporting demand
Tanger Outlets Foley and South Baldwin Regional Medical Center (undergoing a $200 million expansion) are real, substantial local employment and service anchors supporting continued housing demand beyond the broader Baldwin County growth story.
