Market indicators
Data through October 1, 2026 · closed sales only · † Fewer than five closed sales in the 24-month window; one sale can move the median. Read it as a reference point. · Methodology
18 closed sales since 2001. Over the trailing 24 months: median $1,530/SF on 2 sales. Closings averaged about 94% of final list and 76% of original list price. Median 238 cumulative days on market. 4 listings ended without a sale in the past 36 months, against 2 closings.
Data through October 1, 2026. Trailing windows end on the data date and use closed sales only. Typical residences: all residences. 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. For homes, $/SF includes the land and varies with lot, size and age, so treat it as a broad indicator. Annual medians in years with one or two sales are noisy.

What buyers and owners should know about The Strand
- The only beachfront single-family enclave: 12 custom Gulf-front homes behind a second security gate.
- Every home is its own comparable: built individually between 1991 and 2002 and several since rebuilt, so land value, construction quality and age matter more than any per-square-foot average.
- Pricing discipline matters most here: the two closings in the 24 months to October 2026 averaged $16.75M and sold at about 76% of their original list price; four listings ended without a sale in 36 months.
- Different diligence: condominium milestone-inspection rules do not apply to detached homes, but insurance, elevation and coastal construction history do; request permits and elevation certificates.
