Breaking Down the Numbers: 30A's Real Estate Market at a Glance

As we near the end of 2024, the real estate market along 30A delivered both opportunities and adjustments. With increased listing activity and a slight dip in median home prices, buyers found more options to explore. At the same time, sellers navigated longer market times and adapted to changing buyer expectations.

Our findings indicate that despite these shifts, the luxury market remains resilient. Whether you're considering buying or selling, understanding these trends and their implications is key to making informed decisions in a dynamic market.

We've put together October numbers to provide a snapshot of our real estate landscape along 30A.
