Market Heat
Black Hammock Island's numbers point to a market defined by a wide age spread and thin turnover rather than a single-era subdivision. Homes here were built anywhere from 1914 to 2024, with a median year built of 1997 and a median living area of 1,982 square feet. The median price of $628,677 works out to $277.68 per square foot, and with only 5 active listings against 468 total homes in the community, there simply isn't much on the market to compare against at any given time.
The math here rewards patience on both sides of a deal. Median days on market sits at 108 — well above what a fast-moving market would show — yet prices are up 24.7% year over year and 459% since 2012, with 5 months of supply keeping this a balanced market rather than a seller's stampede. A homestead share of 65.4% suggests most owners are staying put, and with just 13 closings in the tracked window, this is a negotiate-carefully market, not a bidding-war one.

🟡 Balanced market. 3.7 months of supply and 33% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of August 19, 2026. Confidence: High (6 active and pending listings, 14 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($584K) is up 7.3% from the prior 12 months ($544K) and up 266% since 2012.

Who Black Hammock Island is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want gated, privacy-oriented acreage living with reported airport/runway access rather than a standard planned subdivision.
- Buyers comfortable transacting near the community's $628,677 median price for a home that could date anywhere from 1914 to 2024.
- Buyers who can work through a longer, roughly 108-day sale process in a low-inventory market rather than expecting a quick close.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a large pool of active comparables to negotiate against — only 5 listings are on the market against 468 total homes.
- Buyers on a tight closing timeline; median days on market here runs well above a fast-turnover pace.
- Buyers who want a uniform, single-era product; construction here spans from 1914 to 2024 with a median year built of 1997.

The Black Hammock Island buying strategy.
If we were buying in Black Hammock Island 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 Black Hammock Island.
A Thin Market With Gated, Runway Access
With 468 homes total and only 5 currently active, Black Hammock Island trades in small numbers. Just 13 closings occurred in the tracked window, and 5 months of supply is enough to land the community in "balanced" territory — not scarce enough to spark bidding wars, not loose enough to favor buyers outright. That scarcity of active listings means each new one carries more weight in setting the market than it would in a higher-volume subdivision, and a median 108-day time on market reflects a smaller, more deliberate pool of buyers working through a smaller pool of homes.
The reported amenities set — a security gate, an airport/runway, and security lighting — point to a different kind of buyer than a standard planned community, one weighing private access and acreage-style living over walkable amenities. Combined with a construction span running from 1914 to 2024 and a median year built of 1997, the housing stock itself is heterogeneous: legacy homes sit alongside newer builds, and a median living area of 1,982 square feet at a $277.68 per-square-foot median gives a sense of scale without implying a uniform product.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Black Hammock Island. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
