How the building is trading
5 units closed at Chateau La Mer in the trailing 12 months at a median of $295,000, with a 90.9% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 1 of 3 listings sits below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 7.2 months of supply at the current sales pace.
Read Chateau La Mer by plan size before reading any building-wide median. The tax roll shows three heated-area groups among its 58 homes: 20 at about 759 square feet, 32 at about 923, and six larger E homes at about 1,557. Size follows the unit number, not the letter, so two homes ending in A can differ by about 160 square feet. A month that happens to include an E home will pull a simple average upward without telling you what the typical home did. Keep the 64 homes of Chateau La Mer II out of the set; they were built in 1982, belong to another association and carry a different street number. The roll gives no story count here, so treat any level-based premium as unconfirmed until a plan or listing shows it.
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 1, 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 2, 2021 through November 1, 2026.

Performance varies with management, seasonality, and personal use. Verify rental eligibility and all figures independently.
The rental analysis is for signed-in readers
We publish each home's rental analysis on the signed-in side of the site, not on the open page. With a free account you will find, on the individual listings here that qualify, how rentals similar to that home perform: the average daily rate, occupancy, typical stay and booking window. The segment's daily rate, occupancy and tracked-rental count stay public on this page.

These are benchmarks for a segment of comparable rentals, not a finding about Chateau La Mer. What a unit here may actually do is set by documents, and there are three of them. The recorded declaration sets any minimum lease term. The association's current rules can add stay-length minimums, rental caps, or owner-occupancy requirements the local code does not impose, and a board can change them after a purchase. The city or county that governs this address runs its own short-term-rental registration requirements over both. Request all three in their current form from the association and the local government during diligence, before purchasing with rental income in mind.
Rental rules on the MLS today: 3 of 3 active listings disclose"Short Term Rental - Allowed". Always verify the association's current policy.

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 November 2, 2021 through November 1, 2026. Rental benchmarks are market-segment aggregates from Key Data - never figures for a specific unit.
Why is there no list of individual sold units?
5 units closed at Chateau La Mer in the trailing 12 months, from $195,000 to $395,000. MLS rules do not allow individual sold listings to be displayed publicly, so this page shows building-level statistics only - ask us for the unit-by-unitsold report 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.
Thinking about buying or selling at Chateau La Mer?
We track this building's sales and fees every month, and keep its rental rules on file - get the full picture before you commit.
