Preserve Place Market Analytics
Every number a buyer, seller, or investor needs on one building: live inventory, rental benchmarks, and the neighborhood around it - refreshed monthly from MLS and market data.

How the building is trading
Fewer than three units closed here in the trailing 12 months - too thin a sample to publish reliable statistics. Ask us for a hand-built sales review instead.
Read Preserve Place by plan, not by building total. The ten homes come in five living-area sizes, from 1,284 to 2,572 square feet, and two plans repeat three times: 1,945 square feet in units 201, 301 and 401, and 1,797 in 202, 302 and 402. A median across all ten blends five different products, and with so few homes one sale can move it. The six commercial units sit outside residential statistics and belong in no comparison for a home. Houses in The Preserve at Grayton Beach, the single-family subdivision beside it, are a different property type altogether. Before weighing one home against another, ask how the association divides expenses between residential and commercial units, because that split shapes the carrying cost behind any quoted number.
Based on information from ECAR for the period November 1, 2025 through November 1, 2026.

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 Preserve Place. What a unit 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.

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 November 1, 2025 through November 1, 2026. Rental benchmarks are market-segment aggregates from Key Data - never figures for a specific unit. Neighborhood figures are LiveBy area estimates built on the U.S. Census American Community Survey.
Why is there no list of individual sold units?
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.
