Cloister Ocean Residences sits within the Sea Island market in Glynn County, where pricing runs well above typical regional benchmarks and turnover is slow enough that timing and preparation matter more than speed.

The combination of a $1,525,000 median price and 113 median days on market tells you this is not a place where listings move on price alone. At this price tier, buyers are underwriting condition, finish level, and orientation as much as square footage, and the per-square-foot median near $658 reflects that scrutiny rather than broad appreciation across every unit type.

No community amenities are currently identified from active MLS listings, which means whatever draws buyers here is coming from the residences themselves and the Sea Island setting, not a published amenity package. That is worth confirming directly on a given listing rather than assuming a standard set of building features. With a 45 heat score, the market is neither cooling sharply nor running hot, and the 6.8% year-over-year gain suggests steady, incremental value movement rather than a spike.

With only 9 closings in the current window, pricing this community accurately means working from a thin and highly specific comp set, not a general market average. We track those individual sales closely, factor in the 113-day typical timeline when setting expectations, and help buyers and sellers position offers and listings against a market that rewards patience and precision over speed.

Listings in this community report association dues of about $3,170 per month ($38,040 a year) — the median AssociationFee across 176 MLS records, normalised to a monthly figure; most are billed monthly.
