How Seaside is trading
10 homes closed in Seaside in the trailing 12 months at a median of $2,625,000, with a 93.6% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 2 of 8 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 9.6 months of supply at the current sales pace.
Seaside is a nearly finished town, and that is the first thing its numbers tell you. The Congress for the New Urbanism's project record put the town at 95 percent complete in 2010 and, in 2019, entering its final stage with the completion of the Lyceum, a civic space. What is still to come here is that last small share of the plan, and the piece the record names is civic rather than residential. The same record counts 423 residential units in the town today, alongside 42 specialty shops and 12 restaurants. It does not present that count as a ceiling the code enforces, so read it as the size of the pool a buyer is choosing from rather than as a cap. Either way the pool is small, so the sold record stays thin as a standing condition rather than a seasonal one, and a community median is a mix report before it is a price. Position follows the radial plan, because every street projects from the town center, so how far out along its own street a home sits explains its number better than a community average can. The code fixes width, height, build to line, and balcony, which is what holds the streetscape together, but none of the four governs floor area, so compare finished size home by home instead of assuming the code has already evened it out.
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?
10 homes closed in Seaside in the trailing 12 months, from $950,000 to $5,450,000. 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.
