How the building is trading
Fewer than three units closed here in the trailing 12 months - too thin a sample to publish reliable statistics. Ask us for a hand-built sales review instead.
Emerald Dunes is small enough that its numbers depend on which of its few home sizes closed. The county roll lists five living areas across 27 residences: 1,223 and 1,286 square feet repeat on the first four levels, the fifth level adds 1,612 and 1,914 square foot homes, and 601 and 602 stand alone at 2,661. A building-wide figure therefore leans on the 21 homes at 1,223 or 1,286 square feet and says little about the six larger upper-level homes, so compare by size and level before reading any spread as a trend. Flood adds a second split: most of the shared site outline is mapped Zone VE and the rest Zone X, but all 27 titles carry that one outline, so an elevation certificate, not the building average, shows where one home stands.
Based on information from ECAR for the period November 1, 2025 through November 1, 2026.

Market statistics reflect the trailing performance of similar rental properties in this market, not this specific property, and are opinions of potential performance, not a guarantee of income. 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 Emerald Dunes. 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.

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 1, 2025 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?
2 units closed at Emerald Dunes in the trailing 12 months. 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.
