How Magnolia Cottages is trading
6 homes closed in Magnolia Cottages in the trailing 12 months at a median of $1,300,000, with a 98.2% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 2 of 2 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 4.0 months of supply at the current sales pace.
Before reading the figures beside this guide, sort each sale by block letter. Blocks A and B hold the original plat's houses, built mostly from 2004 through 2007, and most record one of three sizes, near 1,340, 1,630 or 1,830 square feet of living area. Blocks C, D and E, built from 2017 to 2023, hold larger houses, most near 1,940 or 2,280 square feet. Land is the second check in both: more than one original-plat lot in five, and about three in ten of the later lots, record over 5,000 square feet, so compare recorded land area before pairing two sales. The exception is the 21 later lots that each record exactly 4,965 square feet, where land drops out of the comparison and the recorded living area is what differs. A pair matched on block letter, living area and land is the closest comparison this record supports.
Year-over-year figures compare the 12 complete calendar months from September 2025 through August 2026 with the 12 before them. That window can differ from the trailing totals above, which run day-precise through September 27, 2026 rather than by whole calendar months.

The monthly charts cover the 24 complete calendar months from September 2024 through August 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 September 28, 2021 through September 27, 2026.

Where do these numbers come from?
Sale and inventory statistics are computed from ECAR MLS data by Dream Destin Realty and refreshed on a 30-day cycle. Based on information from ECAR for the period September 28, 2021 through September 27, 2026.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
6 homes closed in Magnolia Cottages in the trailing 12 months, from $1,037,000 to $1,630,000. 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.

We track this neighborhood's sales, inventory, and rules every month - get the full picture before you commit.
