How Grayton Bayou is trading
9 homes closed in Grayton Bayou in the trailing 12 months at a median of $850,000, with a 95.6% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 0 of 1 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 1.3 months of supply at the current sales pace.
Grayton Bayou's lots are of two kinds on the county's parcel records, vacant and single-family, and a sale of one belongs in a different comparison from a sale of the other. For lots, the 2025 statewide roll records land area in runs by street: 7,635 square feet apiece for the Riker Avenue run of Lots 1 through 11, 5,048 to 5,090 along Grayton Bayou Drive, 15,001 for Lots 32 through 34 on Greenbriar Lane. Zoning cuts across those runs: Lots 1 and 9 share an area but not a district, so set a lot beside lots of the same recorded size in the same district. For houses, every build year on that roll falls between 2010 and 2024 while living area roughly doubles from the smallest house to the largest, so match living area first, then lot area.

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. Those 12 months can differ from the trailing totals above, which run day-precise through September 27, 2026 rather than by whole calendar months.
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.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
9 homes closed in Grayton Bayou in the trailing 12 months, from $650,000 to $1,129,000. 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.
