How Water Oaks 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.

On Shady Oaks Lane the state roll repeats one pairing across every townhome lot it carries: a 2014 build year and 1,718 square feet of living area. When two townhome closings differ, neither of those recorded figures accounts for the gap, so ask about condition and about what each deed conveyed. Water Oaks Loop reads differently. Its 45 houses carry years from 2011 to 2021, and nine recorded living areas recur on two to five houses apiece, 1,343 square feet on five and 1,989 on four among them, while twelve houses carry an area found nowhere else on the loop. Judge a loop closing by the houses that share its recorded area, narrowing by year where that group spans more than one; for the twelve, the plat holds no exact twin. Land is a loop question only: the roll gives loop lots about 3,900 to 6,300 square feet and records no land area for any townhome lot.

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 Water Oaks 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.
