How the building is trading
8 units closed at Surfside in the trailing 12 months at a median of $561,500, with a 97.3% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 5 of 10 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 15.0 months of supply at the current sales pace.
The number on a door here is a designator rather than a measured height, and that matters more at this address than at most towers on this road. Residences begin on a second numbered level and run to a sixteenth with no thirteenth in the sequence, so two residences whose numbers differ by a hundred are one built level apart in some parts of the stack and not in others. Several parcels are recorded in pairs, which means a listing presented as one residence can be two recorded units with two assessments behind it, and a set of lanai suites carries no level digit at all. Any figure drawn across the address averages all of that together. Establish what a listing actually is on the roll, then read its level, then read what stands between it and the water.
Year-over-year figures compare the 12 complete calendar months from September 2025 through August 2026 with the 12 before them. That window can differ from the trailing totals above, which run day-precise through September 22, 2026 rather than by whole calendar months.

The monthly charts cover the 24 complete calendar months from September 2024 through August 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 September 23, 2021 through September 22, 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 Surfside. 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.
Rental rules on the MLS today: 10 of 10 active listings disclose“Short Term Rental - Allowed”. Always verify the association's current policy.

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 September 23, 2021 through September 22, 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?
8 units closed at Surfside in the trailing 12 months, from $314,500 to $775,000. 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.
Thinking about buying or selling at Surfside?
We track this building's sales and fees every month, and keep its rental rules on file - get the full picture before you commit.
