How Inlet Beach is trading
43 homes closed in Inlet Beach in the trailing 12 months at a median of $1,052,000, with a 95.1% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 15 of 34 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 9.5 months of supply at the current sales pace.
Inlet Beach is not one market wearing one median. The county's neighborhood plan splits it into separate districts, and a four lane highway cuts across those districts rather than between them, so a single community figure blends preservation streets of one and two story cottages, newer infill built to the ceilings its own district allows, and mixed use blocks along the highway. The plan writes one of its standards literally per side of the road, allowing eight dwelling units per acre north of US 98 and three or four south of it, so the highway is a line in the rulebook and not only in the traffic. Read the record by side of the highway first and by district second. Vintage does most of the rest of the sorting, and the county's plan records where the oldest streets came from: after World War II the area was developed through a lottery program for veterans, who received a lot on the condition that they build a small home on it, and the community was briefly known as Soldiers Beach before residents voted on the name it carries now. A lot from that program and a build finished last year answer to different rules and rarely compare. Walking distance to a regional access with parking, rather than to any beach path, is the other line worth checking, and a patient buyer should assemble a set inside one district before treating any figure as a benchmark.
Year-over-year figures compare the 12 complete calendar months from November 2025 through October 2026 with the 12 before them. That window can differ from the trailing totals above, which run day-precise through November 4, 2026 rather than by whole calendar months.

The monthly charts cover the 24 complete calendar months from November 2024 through October 2026, and a month with no closings is a zero bar rather than a gap. Their last 12 months are the window the year-over-year figures compare.
Based on information from ECAR for the period November 5, 2021 through November 4, 2026.

Where do these numbers come from?
Sale and inventory statistics are computed from ECAR MLS data by Dream Destin Realty and were last refreshed on November 4, 2026. Based on information from ECAR for the period November 5, 2021 through November 4, 2026. Neighborhood figures are LiveBy area estimates built on the U.S. Census American Community Survey.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
43 homes closed in Inlet Beach in the trailing 12 months, from $615,000 to $9,500,000. MLS rules do not allow individual sold listings to be displayed publicly, so this page shows area-level statistics only - ask us for the street-by-street sold review and we'll walk you through it.
How are thin samples handled?
Any figure computed from fewer than three sales is withheld rather than published - a one-sale "median" is just that sale's price. Counts always show; prices earn their way onto the page.
