How the building is trading
19 units closed at Laketown Wharf Resort in the trailing 12 months at a median of $266,500, with a 95.9% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 14 of 20 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 12.6 months of supply at the current sales pace.
Scale is the first thing to understand here and the reason a single middle figure carries so little information. Seven hundred and sixty-five recorded units under one name produce a deep, constantly refreshed pool of comparable sales, which sounds like precision and is not, because the pool spans lake-facing and road-facing stacks, low levels and high, and two construction years. The structural discount is real and worth naming plainly: this footprint sits landward of the control line in Zone X, which leaves it outside the exposure that shapes an insurance quote on the far side of the road, and buyers pricing it against beachfront addresses are comparing two different risk positions. The useful comparison set is inside the property, sorted by outlook and level. Anything drawn from the beachfront blocks to the south answers a different question.
Year-over-year figures compare the 12 complete calendar months from August 2025 through July 2026 with the 12 before them. That window can differ from the trailing totals above, which run day-precise through August 10, 2026 rather than by whole calendar months.

The monthly charts cover the 24 complete calendar months from August 2024 through July 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 August 11, 2021 through August 10, 2026.

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 August 11, 2021 through August 10, 2026.
Why is there no list of individual sold units?
19 units closed at Laketown Wharf Resort in the trailing 12 months, from $220,000 to $385,000. 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.

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