Market Heat
Price here is driven less by square footage than by condition, floor level, and water access. The median sits at $491,400 against a median of roughly 1,279 living square feet, which is a high per-foot number — about $468 — for a building stock that dates to the early 1980s at the midpoint. You are paying for the location on the barrier island and the yacht-and-tennis amenity base, not for size, so two units at similar footage can trade well apart based on updates and views.
The current posture favors buyers. Days on market sit near 57, the heat score is low at 22, and year-over-year the median is down 26.1%. That combination — slow pace, soft pricing, thin recent closing activity — means sellers should price to the current market rather than last year's, and buyers have room to be selective and to negotiate on condition.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 2 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($491K) IS the median in the snapshot above.
Windows contain 0 to 9 sales each (3 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Based on Stellar MLS data distributed by MLS GRID for the period 2014 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The BAY SHORES YACHT & TENNIS CLUB buying strategy.
If we were buying in BAY SHORES YACHT & TENNIS CLUB today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in BAY SHORES YACHT & TENNIS CLUB.
Reading a soft, thinly-traded coastal market
Two things demand caution here. First, the recent closing window is narrow — only three closings inform this snapshot — so the median is directional, not precise. Second, the year-over-year figure is down sharply. Treat the median as a starting point for negotiation and lean hard on the specific comps for the exact stack, floor, and water exposure you are considering.
The living-space footprint is compact — the median near 1,279 square feet — and the age of the stock means renovation status is the single biggest swing factor in value. Expect a wide spread between updated units and those needing work. Anyone underwriting a purchase on this island should also budget realistically for insurance and association reserves, which weigh heavily on coastal condominium ownership.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in BAY SHORES YACHT & TENNIS CLUB. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this thinly traded and this soft year-over-year, a headline median can mislead you in either direction. We work the actual stack-by-stack comps, weigh condition and water access, and price sellers to where the market is now — not where it was. For buyers, we build the negotiation around days on market and the current posture, and we make sure the insurance and association math is on the table before you commit.
