14,545 housing units. 3,793 households.

Both figures come from the 2020 census, and together they tell you almost everything about selling in Orange Beach.

• Orange Beach has more housing units than Bay Minette, Robertsdale, Elberta, Summerdale, Lillian and Stapleton put together — for a resident population of about 8,000. Rental vacancy at the 2020 census was 72.1 percent, while homeowner vacancy was only 2.6 percent.
• Median owner-occupied value is $502,400 — the highest in Baldwin County, and per capita income at $61,639 is also the highest (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020-2024).
• The poverty rate is 2.6 percent, the lowest in the county. Median household income is $97,736.
• Only 76.5 percent of residents lived in the same house a year earlier — the most mobile population of any town in the county. People move through Orange Beach.
• Population reached 8,798 by July 2025, up 8.7 percent since 2020 — the slowest growth of the three coastal cities.

What this means in practice: if you own a condo here, you are one of thousands of broadly comparable units, and your buyer is an investor or a second-home purchaser weighing yours against a stack of others on the same stretch of beach. Price is only part of what decides it. Assessments, the building’s reserve position, rental history and insurability often matter more, and any one of them can end a deal in the final fortnight.

Almost everything here was built after 1984

Orange Beach started as three separate settlements — Orange Beach, Caswell and Bear Point — living off turpentine, a shingle mill and orange groves. The groves died in a series of hard freezes, the last in 1926. The first paved road did not arrive until 1947, electricity until 1948, and telephones until 1956.

The town did not incorporate until 1 August 1984, after Hurricane Frederic had flattened the coast in 1979, and development accelerated sharply from that point. That history is why the building stock here is comparatively young, comparatively dense, and almost entirely built to serve people who do not live here year-round.

Then came the events that shaped the current market: Ivan in 2004, Katrina in 2005, the Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010 — for which the city received $15 million in settlement compensation in 2016 — and Sally in 2020, which put 29.99 inches of rain on Orange Beach and drove a 118 mph gust through Perdido Pass (National Weather Service, Mobile).

When to list, and when to call us

List it if the unit is in good order, the building is in good financial shape with no assessment looming, and you can wait for the spring buying season.

Call us if there is a special assessment you do not want to pay; if insurance has made it unviable; if there is unrepaired storm damage; if you inherited it and the family cannot agree; if the rental numbers stopped working; or if you simply want it done by a date instead of hoping.

Where we buy in Orange Beach

All of it — the Gulf-front towers along Perdido Beach Boulevard, the canal and bayside properties on Terry Cove and Bear Point, the older single-family streets set back from the beach, the area around The Wharf, and out east toward the Perdido Key state line. Condos, houses, duplexes and vacant lots.

We also buy in Gulf Shores, Perdido Beach, Foley and throughout Baldwin County.

What Orange Beach owners call us about

• Special assessments. The defining Orange Beach problem. A five-figure bill lands for roof, envelope, balcony or storm repair, and the owner decides they are out rather than writing the cheque.
• Insurance. Wind and flood premiums on Gulf-front buildings have moved enough to change people’s plans entirely.
• Rental income that stopped adding up — bookings softer, management and cleaning costs higher, and the owner running it from another state.
• Inherited units where the heirs have never seen the place and just want it resolved.
• Owners in their seventies and eighties who have had the condo for twenty years and no longer make the trip.
• Older houses on the bay and canal side, where the land carries the value and the structure does not.

How it works

1. Tell us what you have — building and unit or address, condition, and anything you know about assessments, reserves, insurance or rental history.
2. We come and look. You do not need to be in Alabama.
3. Written offer, normally within 24 hours of the visit. No obligation.
4. You pick the closing date. About a week with clear title.
5. Close at a local title company, remotely if you are out of state. No commission, no repair credits, normal closing costs covered.

Who you are dealing with

Questions from Orange Beach sellers

There is a special assessment on my building. Will you still buy?

Yes, and tell us about it in the first conversation. We price it in at the start. What we will not do is discover it in the estoppel letter and come back to you with a reduced number days before closing, which is the single most common complaint people have about cash buyers in this market.

Do you buy Gulf-front condos as well as houses?

Yes. Gulf-front, bayside, canal, and the older single-family houses set back from the beach.

My insurance renewal has made it impossible. How fast can you close?

About seven days once title is clear, and you choose the date.

The unit has storm damage. Do I need to repair it first?

No. We buy it as it sits and the repair cost comes out of our number rather than yours.

I live out of state. Do I have to travel down?

No. We look at it, and closing runs remotely through a local title company.

Would I get more listing it?

Usually, on the sticker price, if the unit is clean and the building is healthy. Where that stops being true is a building with an assessment or reserve problem, because those units sit on the market for a long time and get chipped down anyway.

Are there fees or commissions?

None, and we cover the normal closing costs.
