How the community is trading
8 homes closed in Serenity at Dune Allen in the trailing 12 months at a median of $906,250, with a 96.2% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 2 of 13 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 19.5 months of supply at the current sales pace.
Almost every summary statistic on this plat says the same thing twice, and then three addresses break the pattern. Lot size barely moves: 87 lots averaging about 3,103 square feet of land, all of them built, all of them in one zoning district that a share of ground read confirms across all 88 parcels. Heated area barely moves either. On numbers like these a buyer reasonably treats one address as a proxy for the next, and for most of this plat that is right. It is wrong at the south end of Dolphin Drive. Three lots there, at 339, 345 and 353, hold mapped freshwater forested and shrub wetland and Zone A flood ground that no other lot on the plat holds, and on one of them each of those two lines covers roughly 45 percent of the parcel. A further five lots on Charming Way sit partly in the 0.2 percent annual chance band. Seventy nine parcels hold neither. So the exposure here is not distributed, it is concentrated, and a community wide flood or wetland statement is the one number on this page that would mislead rather than approximate. The second thing worth knowing is where the plat's constraints actually land. The only shared ground is a single association parcel recorded with zero land area, and that parcel is the one carrying the plat's closest approach to the Lake Allen protection buffer, part of its wetland and part of its Zone A ground. Nothing in the public record describes ground or a structure the dues would maintain, yet the association is the party holding every line that touches this plat. The third is vintage. The median completion year of 2020 is real but it flattens a two stage build: six houses stand from before 2015, 27 more by 2019, and 54 from 2020 on. Two thirds of the stock is recent and a third is not, which on lots this tight shows up in parking, drainage and exterior detail rather than in square footage. Compare inside a stage, and treat the three Dolphin Drive addresses as a set of their own rather than as part of this one.
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.

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 Serenity at Dune Allen. What a home 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: 1 of 13 active listings discloses“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 home. Neighborhood figures are LiveBy area estimates built on the U.S. Census American Community Survey.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
8 homes closed in Serenity at Dune Allen in the trailing 12 months, from $792,000 to $1,250,000. MLS rules do not allow individual sold listings to be displayed publicly, so this page shows community-level statistics only - ask us for the home-by-homesold 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.
