How Indian Bayou is trading
18 homes closed in Indian Bayou in the trailing 12 months at a median of $870,500, with a 96.5% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 1 of 3 listings sits below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 2.0 months of supply at the current sales pace.
Indian Bayou's sold record draws from five recorded plat units inside one name, and that breadth is the main thing to know: the median tracks which price rung happened to trade, so a stretch of closings from the smaller rungs and a stretch from the larger custom builds can bracket the same underlying market. Position does the fine sorting - golf frontage against interior streets - and the mid-town location ties this record to year-round Destin demand more than to the beach corridor's seasonal swings. Before comparing per-square-foot figures across the community, read them within a single rung of the record first; the spread between rungs is structure, not movement.
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. Neighborhood figures are LiveBy area estimates built on the U.S. Census American Community Survey.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
18 homes closed in Indian Bayou in the trailing 12 months, from $375,000 to $4,300,000. 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.
