This is a location-and-condition market on the Satellite Beach barrier island, not an amenity story — there are no community facilities identified in current listings, so the house and its proximity to the coast carry the value.

The two numbers to hold together are the 15.7% year-over-year drop and the longer arc — up 172% since 2012. The long climb tells you why owners here feel the pricing is durable; the recent pullback tells you the near-term momentum has reversed. For a buyer, that gap is the opportunity: motivated sellers still carry a large paper gain and can afford to meet the market.

With a small closings window — seven recent sales — individual transactions swing the median hard, so treat any single comp with caution. The 16-day median suggests correctly priced, move-in-ready homes still clear quickly, while overpriced or dated listings are where the current softness shows up most. Condition is the fault line.

In a thin-volume market where a handful of sales set the median and prices are down year-over-year, the wrong comp can cost real money on either side. We price to condition and to the current posture — not to last year's peak — and on the buy side we know which listings have been sitting long enough to give you leverage.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
