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.
Tropical Isle has 31 residences but eight recorded living-area sizes, from 283 to 720 square feet, so a single typical figure blends very different homes. Eight parcels record 511, seven record 484 and five record 454; four record 283 and two record 720. Sort any set of homes by recorded size first, then by condition. Take the 100s and 200s as door numbers only, since no measured count of floors is available here. With one 1996 vintage there is no age spread to explain differences, which moves attention to what changed afterward: roofing, exterior work, insurance terms and assessments. A flood map that puts about a third of the shared outline in Zone AE cannot say which home is affected, so use the unit's own elevation certificate.

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.
Based on information from ECAR for the period November 2, 2021 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 Tropical Isle. 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 2, 2021 through November 1, 2026. Rental benchmarks are market-segment aggregates from Key Data - never figures for a specific unit. Neighborhood figures are LiveBy area estimates built on the U.S. Census American Community Survey.
Why is there no list of individual sold units?
1 unit closed at Tropical Isle 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.

We track this building's sales and fees every month, and keep its rental rules on file - get the full picture before you commit.
