30A Market Update: Volume Surge and Balanced Conditions

This episode of The Hot Sheets reviews market activity across 30A following March 2026 closings, with a focus on transaction volume, pricing stability, and current absorption trends.

The data reflects a market that has moved beyond normalization and into a phase of sustained transaction activity, while maintaining balance between buyers and sellers.

What is happening right now:

March closed with 102 home sales across 30A, compared to 66 during the same period last year

Median pricing continues to fluctuate around the $2M range without significant deviation
Absorption rate closed at 6.85 months, indicating a balanced market environment
Buyer and seller leverage is aligned, with transactions occurring at true market value
Early signals suggest continued activity heading into May despite broader global uncertainty
