How Sunset Beach is trading
3 homes closed in Sunset Beach in the trailing 12 months at a median of $370,000, with a 97.6% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 1 of 1 listings sits below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 4.0 months of supply at the current sales pace.
One Sunset Beach median mixes two kinds of property, and the blend describes neither. Thirty-six parcels in blocks E through H are 1975 and 1976 houses, all but one on lots of about 0.19 to 0.30 acre and none in a FEMA special flood hazard area, so size, condition and updates are the variables left to match. The ten parcels in blocks A and B reach Cinco Bayou, carry Zone AE on part of their ground, and hold houses recorded from 1950 to 2025 on lots up to about half an acre. Pairing a bayou-edge sale with an interior one says little about either. Block D's two apartment parcels belong in neither comparison. When the local MLS was checked on September 24, 2026, no listing was active and the closings reached back to February 2016, so sort that decade of sales by block and year before reading any average.
Based on information from ECAR for the period November 4, 2025 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 4, 2025 through November 4, 2026.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
3 homes closed in Sunset Beach in the trailing 12 months, from $355,000 to $519,000. 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.
