Data through October 1, 2026. Trailing windows end on the data date and use closed sales only. Typical residences: living area <= 1.5x building median. Months of supply = active listings / (prior-12-month sales / 12). Days on market is the median cumulative days on market (CDOM), which carries across relistings. Floor premium from OLS regression of $/SF on sale date, floor and living area, published only when positive and statistically distinguishable. Annual medians in years with one or two sales are noisy.

What buyers and owners should know about Brighton
- Four floor plans: compare sales plan-for-plan and stack-for-stack rather than against the building average.
- Scarce supply, firm pricing: four closings in the 24 months to October 1, 2026 (median $1,775/SF, average $6.71M) and no active listings at the data date. Recent closings averaged about 91% of original list price; eight listings ended without a sale in 36 months.
- Beach access: a dune walkover leads to the beach; confirm access arrangements and maintenance responsibility in the association documents.
- Due diligence: completed in 1994, so the milestone inspection, structural integrity reserve study and capital-project history are first-order questions.
