A Balanced Market Requires Precision for 30A Home Sellers
Demand is Up, but the "100-Day Rule" Applies
Good news for 30A homeowners: more buyers closed on 30A homes this past quarter than any Q1 in the last three years. The market is absorbing inventory at a much healthier rate.
| Metric (Q1 Totals) | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | Trend |
| Number of Sales | 188 | 207 | 270 | +30% YoY |
| Median Sold Price | $1,519,757 | $1,578,534 | $1,576,667 | Stable |
| Months of Inventory | 10.12 | 11.12 | 6.05 | Moving to Balanced |
Balanced Competition: We are down to 6 months of inventory. You are no longer competing against a massive glut of listings, but you aren't in a "bidding war" environment either.
Realistic Expectations: The Median Sold Price is holding firm at $1,576,667. Buyers are active, but they are educated and disciplined—they are paying fair market value, not "speculative" prices.
Patience is Key: Average Days on Market is hovering around 100 days. To see a "Sold" sign, your home needs to be priced accurately from Day 1 and show impeccably to stand out in a balanced market.
