Q1 2026 on 30A isn’t slowing down… it’s sharpening.
The numbers tell a very clear story—
and it’s not what most people think.
Alys Beach continues to command the top of the market at $5.22M+ average sales, holding its position as the most controlled and coveted luxury environment on 30A.
Rosemary Beach leads in pricing power at $1,947 per square foot, proving that buyers are still willing to pay a premium for walkability, experience, and lifestyle density.
But the most interesting shift?
Kaiya Beach.
With +66% growth and the fastest days on market, it’s quietly becoming one of the most watched emerging luxury plays along the coast.
Meanwhile, Gulf-front properties are seeing price adjustments—reminding everyone that even prime real estate now requires strategy, not assumption.
This market isn’t declining.
It’s separating.
The right homes are moving.
The rest are negotiating.
If you’re buying, timing matters more than ever.
If you’re selling, positioning is everything.

Happy Easter from Douglas Elliman 30A. Hope today brings some good time with family, a little sunshine, and a slower pace
Everyone’s saying the market is heating up…
But the reality is more precise than that.
In March, we saw 123 homes sold—a 64% increase—and a price ceiling that climbed to $13.25M.
On the surface, that looks like momentum.
But underneath:
– Average pricing stayed relatively flat
– Price per square foot declined
– Days on market increased
Buyers didn’t disappear—they became selective.
That’s the shift.
If you’re buying, this is where strategy matters. The opportunities are there, but only if you’re clear and prepared.
If you’re selling, pricing and presentation aren’t optional—they’re everything.
This isn’t a market you guess your way through.
It’s one you position yourself to win in.
