Lillian has the oldest population in Baldwin County

Not by a little. By a lot, and it defines this market completely.

• The median age in Lillian is 56.7 (2020 census). Foley, the next oldest, is 48.5. Robertsdale is 35.8. There is nowhere else in the county like this.
• Lillian had 1,330 residents, 668 housing units and 568 households, with 15.0 percent vacancy.
• Lillian is unincorporated. There is no town government, no mayor and no municipal services — it is Baldwin County directly. That is worth knowing, because it affects everything from what a buyer expects to who you call about a permit.
• Lillian was only designated a census place in 2020, so there is no 2010 comparison to measure against, and as an unincorporated community below the size threshold there is no published median home value, household income or owner-occupancy figure. We are not going to quote you one we cannot source.

What a median age of 56.7 actually means for selling: a large share of the property here is owned by retirees, many of whom moved down from elsewhere to be on the water. Over the next few years a great many of those houses will change hands for one of three reasons — a move into care, a move to be near children, or an estate. That is who calls us from Lillian, and it is almost always a family working at a distance.

Water, the bridge, and the state line

Lillian sits on Perdido Bay, and the water is why people came. The Spanish granted this land to the Suarez family in 1630; there was a stockade here after the War of 1812 that Spanish forces burned; the post office dates to 1884; and the community is named for Lillian Kee, who lived from 1889 to 1972. The Baldwin Colonization Company bought the area around 1923 specifically to develop it as a resort, which is essentially what it became.

The Perdido Bay Bridge has connected Lillian to Florida since 1916, when it replaced a ferry. It was a toll bridge until 1943 and the current structure was completed in 1980. That bridge is why Lillian functions as much like a Pensacola suburb as an Alabama town.

Being on the water is also the complication. Wind and flood insurance on bay-front and near-bay property in south Baldwin County has moved sharply, and during Hurricane Sally in 2020 the National Weather Service recorded 7 to 9 feet of surge above ground in the back bays and sounds of southeast Baldwin, with a 118 mph gust at nearby Perdido Pass. Insurance is now the single most common reason a Lillian owner decides to sell rather than hold.

We will not tell you what flood zone your lot is in. That is parcel-specific and belongs to FEMA’s Map Service Center — look it up before you decide anything.

When to list, and when to call us

List it if it is a sound waterfront or near-water house, insurable at a reasonable number, and you can wait for the right buyer. Perdido Bay frontage finds people.

Call us if you are settling a parent’s estate from out of state; if insurance has ended it; if there is storm damage nobody repaired; if it is a manufactured home; if the house is full and nobody local can empty it; or if a move into care means the date matters more than the last few thousand dollars.

Where we buy in Lillian

All 3.5 square miles of it — the bay-front and canal properties, the houses and mobile homes set back along US-98, the lots near the bridge and the state line, and the quieter ground out toward the Lillian Swamp preserve. Houses, waterfront, land and manufactured homes.

We also buy in Elberta, Perdido Beach, Orange Beach, Foley and throughout Baldwin County.

What Lillian sellers call us about

• An estate handled from out of state. The most common Lillian call by a distance, and a direct consequence of the age profile. The parents retired here, the children live in Ohio or Georgia, and now there is a house on Perdido Bay to deal with from a thousand miles away.
• A move into assisted living or closer to family, where a firm closing date lets the next arrangement be booked.
• Insurance that has become unaffordable on a fixed income.
• Storm damage that was partly covered and never finished.
• Manufactured homes, on owned land or rented lots. We buy them.
• A house full of thirty years of belongings, with nobody nearby to clear it.

How it works

1. Tell us about the property — address, condition, and anything about storm history or insurance. Say if you are out of state.
2. We come and look. You do not need to be there and nothing needs cleaning.
3. Written offer, usually within 24 hours of the visit. No obligation.
4. You pick the closing date. About a week with clear title, or timed to a move.
5. Close at a local title company, remotely if you are not in Alabama. No commission, no repair credits, normal closing costs covered.

Who you are dealing with

A small family-owned company in Fairhope, about forty-five minutes away. Steve answers the phone and comes out himself. We buy with our own money. A lot of what we do in Lillian involves families in difficult circumstances, and we try to be straight and unhurried about it.

Questions from Lillian sellers

My parent has died and the house is in Lillian. I live out of state.

You do not need to travel down. We look at the house, send you a written offer, and closing runs by phone and email through a local title company. You take what matters and leave everything else exactly where it is. We do this regularly here.

Mum is moving into assisted living and we need to time this. Can you work to a date?

Yes, and that is one of the better reasons to use a cash buyer. You choose the closing date, not us, and it does not depend on a buyer’s finance coming through.

Insurance has become unaffordable. How quickly can you close?

About seven days once title is clear.

Do you buy waterfront on Perdido Bay?

Yes, and the properties set back from the water too.

Do you buy manufactured homes?

Yes, on owned land or rented lots.

The house needs clearing out. Is that a problem?

No. Take what you want and leave the rest.

Are there fees or commissions?

None, and we cover the normal closing costs.
