How Gulf Highlands is trading
20 homes closed in Gulf Highlands in the trailing 12 months at a median of $295,000, with a 95.8% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 8 of 11 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 6.6 months of supply at the current sales pace.
Gulf Highlands has a real sales history, 102 closings from April 2016 to July 2026 and 16 listings active on September 24, 2026, but the county side does not sort those homes for you. Nineteen of the 21 parcel records returned for the name carry the residential common-area label, so counting parcels will not count homes. Flood exposure is uneven among them: five of the 19 parcel numbers reach flood-hazard ground, one in coastal Zone VE, and the other 14 show none. Read the sold list by date, confirm each home's own parcel and flood zone, and rerun the search before judging today's supply.
Year-over-year figures compare the 12 complete calendar months from November 2025 through October 2026 with the 12 before them. That window can differ from the trailing totals above, which run day-precise through November 4, 2026 rather than by whole calendar months.

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?
20 homes closed in Gulf Highlands in the trailing 12 months, from $210,000 to $499,000. 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.
