How Gulf Trace is trading
Fewer than three homes closed here in the trailing 12 months - too thin a sample to publish reliable statistics. Ask us for a hand-built sales review instead.
Gulf Trace sells under two plats and one neighborhood rulebook, and a median hides a wide spread. The 74 houses on the 2026 roll date from 1981 to 2025 and run from 1,718 to 7,964 square feet of living area, so an average blends 1980s cottages with 2020s rebuilds. The Block A lots along the Gulf carry Zone VE ground that the interior blocks mostly lack, which can separate two otherwise similar sales. The adopted plan bars further subdivision and caps height at 45 feet, so supply grows only by building on the eight vacant parcels or replacing houses. The state roll's land-area field is unreliable here; use each plat's printed lot table. The August 19, 2026 reading of 3 active and 33 sold is dated, not today's inventory.
Based on information from ECAR for the period November 5, 2025 through November 5, 2026.

The short-term rental badge above is not a permission of record. It reflects the MLS short-term-rental field where a listing discloses one, and otherwise where the home sits. Confirm the association's current rules and the local registration requirement before relying on it.
Rental rules on the MLS today: 6 of 6 active listings disclose"Short Term Rental - Allowed". Always verify current rules with the association or county 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 were last refreshed on November 5, 2026. Based on information from ECAR for the period November 5, 2025 through November 5, 2026.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
2 homes closed in Gulf Trace in the trailing 12 months. 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.
