The four-bedroom house at 5606 Gulf Creek Cir backs onto Rabbit Creek, with a fenced yard running down to a private boat lift, and it closed $3,175 above its final asking price of $635,000. The five highest-priced sales reported across the Mobile metro area for the week ending September 6, 2026, together came to $2.68 million.
Those five span Rabbit Creek, Horloesther, Tuthill Lane Estates, Springwood and Dauphin Island, reaching from a gated community on the barrier island’s east end to the mid-century streets around Spring Hill. LLB & B Inc. held the listing side of two of them.
No. 1 — $638,175 · 5606 Gulf Creek Cir, Theodore, Alabama
A waterfront house on Rabbit Creek in Theodore closed on August 31, 2026, at $638,175, which was $3,175 above its final asking price of $635,000. Built in 2008, the home has four bedrooms, five bathrooms and a reported 3,785 square feet. It previously changed hands for $310,000 in 2016.
High ceilings and tall windows carry the water view across the open-plan main rooms, and the kitchen runs into the living and dining rooms with extensive counter and work surface. Plantation shutters and custom built-ins continue through the interior. The primary suite occupies its own wing, with a bathroom remodeled in 2024 and separate his-and-her walk-in closets. Two more bedrooms, a loft and two updated bathrooms fill the upper floor, while the lower level holds a large bonus room with a full bathroom and private garage access, usable as a guest suite, fourth bedroom, media room or home office.
Both the upper and lower porches are fully screened, and the boat lift at the foot of the yard was added in 2019. Mechanical and exterior work has been staged over more than a decade: a metal roof in 2017, HVAC systems replaced in 2022 and 2023, a grinder pump in 2023 and a hot water heater in 2025, along with a repainted exterior and a front porch rebuilt with composite decking. A dedicated workout room and extensive garage storage round out the interior, and the community carries its own amenities.
The closing put Lisa Granger of Real Broker, LLC on the listing side of the No. 1 sale in RealtyWire’s Mobile Metro Area Top 5 for the week ending September 6, 2026. Kevin Loper of Roberts Brothers West represented the buyer.
