🔴 Seller-leaning market. 1.0 months of supply and 50% of the inventory already under contract give sellers the pressure advantage.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 Beaches MLS records, as of August 10, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 12 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($1.05M) is down 1.4% from the prior 12 months ($1.07M). With about 22 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Beaches MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending August 10. Confidence: Medium (12 and 14 sales in the two windows).
What's unique here: the median sale price is about 2x the typical Palm Beach County sale ($1.05M vs $460K, trailing 12 months, Beaches MLS records).

DakotaPrice History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 10 of each year, from record-level Beaches MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($1.05M) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($1.07M) IS the -1.4% one-year change.
Windows contain 2 to 46 sales each (12 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings.

Check it for your address: look up your flood zone (FEMA) · insurance by county · true-cost calculator · Palm Beach County scorecard.
County typicals from Momentum’s Florida housing data (Zillow & Realtor.com aggregates, Census, FRED), updated monthly; insurance modeled. Flood zone is property-specific — always confirm via FEMA.

The Dakota buying strategy.
If we were buying in Dakota 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.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
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 Dakota.
A closer look at the Dakota market
At a median of $432 per square foot, Dakota prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.
Inventory runs at 1.0 months of supply, a seller-leaning market and the trailing-12-month median down 1% year over year. Homes that do trade take a median 23 days on market, useful leverage on any listing that has lingered.
The housing stock is 139 homes built between 2017 and 2020, and 81% of parcels are homesteaded — the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Dakota. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (7.3). Basis: Recent Direction -1.4% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 1.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 81% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 94.6% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
HOA, CDD & Fees
