How Old Florida Cottages is trading
6 homes closed in Old Florida Cottages in the trailing 12 months at a median of $906,750, with a 96.0% median list-to-sale ratio.
The corporation record and the county plat share a name history, Old Florida Cottages now and Emerald Ridge Townhomes before, so a comparison built on either label alone can miss sales. Match on parcel number instead. Once matched, the usual sorting variables are muted here. Every lot is drawn between about 1,600 and 2,150 square feet, so lot size has nothing to separate, and 35 of 36 houses carry 1999 or 2000 on the state roll, so age separates almost nothing either. Floor area is the live variable, running from 1,174 to 3,016 square feet. More than half the platted ground is common parcel and road, so a per-acre figure taken across the whole plat describes the common ground as much as the homes. Read each sale against its own square footage.

The monthly charts cover the 24 complete calendar months from November 2024 through October 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 November 4, 2026 rather than by whole calendar months.
Based on information from ECAR for the period November 5, 2021 through November 4, 2026.

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 4, 2026. Based on information from ECAR for the period November 5, 2021 through November 4, 2026.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
6 homes closed in Old Florida Cottages in the trailing 12 months, from $742,500 to $1,235,000. 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.
