How Gulf Place is trading
17 homes closed in Gulf Place in the trailing 12 months at a median of $715,000, with a 95.7% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 9 of 17 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 12.0 months of supply at the current sales pace.
Ask which section produced a Gulf Place number before asking what the number says about value. One name covers owners associations chartered separately across twenty-seven years, and they do not sell the same thing: cabana units, courtyard units, townhomes and flats stacked over working storefronts all report into a single median. A quarter weighted toward the town center buildings and a quarter weighted toward the townhomes will look like a market move and will not be one. Commercial floors change the arithmetic again, because a building carrying retail underneath shares structure, insurance and common area with it, and the budget shows that long before the deed does. Get the section, its declaration and its current budget, then compare inside that one association rather than across the name.
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 27, 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 28, 2021 through September 27, 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 September 28, 2021 through September 27, 2026. Neighborhood figures are LiveBy area estimates built on the U.S. Census American Community Survey.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
17 homes closed in Gulf Place in the trailing 12 months, from $375,000 to $3,250,000. 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.
