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.
Every Island Home unit is recorded at 700 square feet and 1984, so size and age explain none of the gap between two closings, and a figure per square foot only restates the sale. What can differ is which of the six address groups a unit belongs to and whether it carries a 100, 200 or 300 number, since the city's address points group each suffix's three numbers; then renovation and furnishings, the flood exposure of the particular structure, and whatever the association has assessed or deferred. Eighteen units is a small population, so one remodeled or distressed closing can move the median further than the market did. Read each closing on its own before trusting the summary line. Where the building's own record runs thin, borrow comparisons from Holiday Isle condominiums with small plans and 1980s construction, and set aside newer buildings with larger floor plans that pull a median somewhere this one cannot go.
Based on information from ECAR for the period November 1, 2025 through November 1, 2026.

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 Island Home. 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?
1 unit closed at Island Home 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.
