How Magnolia Beach is trading
14 homes closed in Magnolia Beach in the trailing 12 months at a median of $592,500, with a 97.8% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 4 of 7 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 6.0 months of supply at the current sales pace.
The flood map does more sorting in Magnolia Beach than anything about the houses. Sampled from the southern blocks to the bay, parcels return Zone A, then Zone X, then Zone AE at 7 feet and at 9 feet, so three regulatory situations sit inside one subdivision name and they line up with distance to the water. The attribute buyers pay for here, closeness to the bay, is the same attribute that moves a parcel into the mapped floodplain, which means the premium and the carrying cost climb together instead of trading against each other. Add the supply picture and an average stops meaning much: more than two fifths of the parcels under this name hold no structure, and the built stock is overwhelmingly recent, ninety-four finished since 2010 against four from before 1990. Compare inside one flood zone and one vintage, or do not compare at all.
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 29, 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.

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 30, 2021 through September 29, 2026.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
14 homes closed in Magnolia Beach in the trailing 12 months, from $387,000 to $1,635,000. 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.
