30A Market Update: Normalized Activity and Rosemary Beach Trends (February 24, 2026)

The February 24, 2026 Hot Sheets update for the 30A market shows a balanced, stable environment. Unit sales are pacing ahead of last year, median prices remain elevated, and inventory levels reflect a normalized market.

This is not a market accelerating upward or declining. It is functioning within expected ranges.

What is happening right now:

43 homes closed so far in February, with projections of 60–62 total closings (compared to 52 in February last year)

Median price at $1,750,000, up 8.5% year-over-year

Approximately 602 active listings across the 30A market

Estimated 10 months of inventory based on projected closings

Average sold-to-list price ratio at approximately 94%

This indicates a balanced market. Buyers and sellers both have room to negotiate. Activity levels are steady, not compressed.

Community Spotlight: Rosemary Beach

Approximately 3 months of inventory currently

3 homes sold in January 2026 (same as January 2025)

2 homes sold so far in February

No additional properties currently scheduled to close

Low transaction volume creates volatility in median price data

Because Rosemary Beach has limited annual transactions, month-to-month price swings can reflect sales mix rather than directional trends. Small data sets produce high variability. This is typical in lower-liquidity luxury communities.

For comparison, benchmark communities like WaterColor tend to offer more stable transaction flow due to higher liquidity and listing volume.

Who this episode is for:

Buyers evaluating leverage in a normalized luxury market

Sellers assessing pricing expectations in a balanced environment

Owners in low-liquidity communities monitoring transaction pace

Investors comparing 2025 versus 2026 absorption trends
