How Garnier's Beach is trading

19 homes closed in Garnier's Beach in the trailing 12 months at a median of $345,000, with a 100.0% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 3 of 5 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 3.2 months of supply at the current sales pace.

Garnier's Beach is a name stretched over seven parcel series laid out across decades, and the county dates show it: build years run from 1949 to 2025 with a middle near 1959. Flood exposure splits just as sharply. The original plat holds 248 parcels and 148 of them touch a special flood hazard area, while 295 parcels across the family touch only the minimal hazard area. A single median across all 845 therefore blends unlike risk, so compare a candidate only with parcels in its own plat and flood zone. The saved search from September 24, 2026, four active and 223 sold under the broad name, is a snapshot to refresh.

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 5, 2021 through November 4, 2026.

Where do these numbers come from?

Sale and inventory statistics are computed from ECAR MLS data by Dream Destin Realty and were last refreshed on November 4, 2026. Based on information from ECAR for the period November 5, 2021 through November 4, 2026.

Why is there no list of individual sold homes?

19 homes closed in Garnier's Beach in the trailing 12 months, from $140,000 to $885,000. 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.
