How the building is trading

8 units closed at Southwinds in the trailing 12 months at a median of $2,300,000, with a 92.0% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 6 of 9 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 13.5 months of supply at the current sales pace.

Southwinds prices as three separate condominiums sharing one name, and the first task in any comparison is sorting a sale into the correct one: sixty one units in the 4400 block belong to the original Southwinds at Sandestin filing, fifty in the 4500 block to Southwinds II, and fifty four in the 4600 block to Southwinds III. Two of the three have an active corporation on the state register, chartered in 1995 and 1999, and the third's governing instrument is a question for the documents rather than the street number. None of the 165 unit parcels reaches the water directly: the ground between the buildings and the beach belongs to the associations and, beyond them, to the resort's corporate owner, so a listing's gulf view is real while its beach frontage is not something the unit itself conveys. The flood reading follows the same line, with the residences testing clear of the special flood hazard area while the seaward common ground the associations maintain carries the coastal zone that drives what their own budgets have to cover. Weigh dues against which filing actually owns the ground fronting the water before comparing one sale to another.

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.

Short-term rentals are restricted here

The building guide for Southwinds reports short-term rental as not allowed there, so we publish no nightly-rental performance benchmarks for this building: segment figures would describe a market it does not take part in. That reporting covers short stays only, and says nothing either way about longer tenancy. The recorded declaration is what sets any minimum lease term, so read it, and confirm the association's current rental policy directly, before purchasing with rental income in mind.

Rental rules on the MLS today: 0 of 9 active listings disclose“Short Term Rental - Allowed”; 8 disclose it is not allowed. Always verify the association's current policy.

The neighborhood: Tang-o-mar

Southwinds sits in or beside the Tang-o-mar Census neighborhood - the area figures below describe that neighborhood, not this building alone.

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. 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 Southwinds in the trailing 12 months, from $1,575,000 to $3,150,000. 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.
