A 2022 house with 90 feet of deep-water frontage on Old River in Orange Beach sold for $5,200,000, the highest-priced home sale publicly reported in the Daphne, Alabama metro area for the week ending August 9, 2026. The five leading closings reported across the metro that week combined for $14.38 million in Daphne-area real estate.
The five sales span Ono Island, Sans Souci, Orange Beach and Orinoco Cove, and their build years run from 1988 to 2025. Orange Beach accounts for every closing on the week’s list apart from a Mobile Bay estate in Fairhope, and Ono Island alone produced two of those closings. Old River, Mobile Bay and the Orange Beach waterfront all feature in the week’s reported real estate transactions.
