Last 30 days in Black Island: 1 new listing (median asking $589,000). As of October 3, 2026, Listing data provided by ScoutMLS® (Golden Isles Association of REALTORS®). The data is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed to be accurate by ScoutMLS.
Black Island in Darien is a thin-data community right now. With no closings recorded in the current window, there is no reliable median price, days-on-market figure, or trend line to point to. Anyone telling you they know exactly where pricing sits here is guessing beyond what the record shows.
That absence of transaction history is itself the signal: this is a market where each listing has to be underwritten on its own terms rather than compared against a recent comp set. For a buyer, that means more due diligence per property. For a seller, it means pricing strategy has to lean on broader McIntosh County context rather than hyperlocal closings, since Black Island itself has not generated enough recent activity to establish its own baseline.

The 60-Second Overview
Black Island sits within McIntosh County near Darien, on the southeast Georgia coast, an area defined more by its waterway geography than by amenity-driven development. Current MLS data shows no community amenities identified and no closings in the recent window, so this reads as a low-volume, low-visibility pocket of the market rather than an active subdivision with an established sales pattern.
SCOUT sales records identify 13 homes in Black Island that have changed hands since 2015, built between 1976 and 2006 (median 1997), with a median living area of about 2,698 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 3-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes.

Who Black Island is best for.
Best for
- Buying with flexibility on amenities and willing to verify property specifics directly rather than relying on a subdivision standard.
- Comfortable making a purchase decision in a market with little to no recent closing history to benchmark against.
- Looking specifically within the Darien / McIntosh County area of coastal southeast Georgia rather than a more established subdivision.
Probably not for
- Needing a recent median price or days-on-market trend to guide an offer strategy.
- Expecting a community with a defined amenity package such as a pool, clubhouse, or gated entry.
- Wanting a high-volume market with frequent comparable sales to lean on during negotiation.

The Black Island buying strategy.
If we were buying in Black 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 Island.
A Market With No Recent Trail
There is no amenity package on record for Black Island — no clubhouse, pool, or gated entry showing up in current listings — which suggests this is either an unamenitized, land-oriented pocket or one where inventory has been too sparse to surface that detail. Either way, buyers should confirm directly what, if anything, comes with a given property rather than assuming a standard subdivision package.
With zero closings in the tracked window, there is no median price, no pace-of-sale figure, and no way to characterize demand as brisk or slow with any honesty. Treat any specific number you hear about this pocket of Darien with skepticism unless it is tied to an actual active or recently closed listing you can verify directly.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Black Island. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
