True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of November 2026, the MLS records 15 closed sales in Emerald Pointe South in Longboat Key, FL since 2014, the most recent in June 2025. Across Longboat Key as a whole, 499 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $950,000, 82 median days on market, with 280 homes for sale today. At that median and Sarasota County's FY2025-26 rate of 13.48 mills, annual property tax runs about $12,800 ($12,270 with the full homestead exemption).

Emerald Pointe South is a small, tightly defined pocket on Longboat Key - just 17 homes, all built in a narrow window between 2001 and 2003, with a median of 2002. When the housing stock is this uniform in age and size (median around 2,582 square feet), price here isn't set by floor plan variety. It's set by condition, updates, and how a given home sits relative to the water and light. Expect a wide spread between a dated original and a renovated one, even when the bones are nearly identical.
Right now there is nothing to trade on: no active listings and no closings in the current window. That makes the market quiet rather than readable - pricing will be negotiated one-off when a home does come up, not anchored to recent comps. For a seller, that scarcity can work in your favor if you're the only thing available. For a buyer, it means patience and a willingness to move decisively when a listing surfaces.
Figures in this note are as of October 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The 60-Second Overview
A compact, single-vintage enclave on Longboat Key where the entire inventory came out of the ground within a three-year span, so differences in price and desirability come down to condition and siting rather than the mix of home styles.
Stellar MLS sales records identify 11 homes in EMERALD POINTE SOUTH that have changed hands since 2015, built between 2001 and 2003 (median 2002), with a median living area of about 2,376 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath layout; 64% are condominiums.

The Emerald Pointe South buying strategy.
If we were buying in Emerald Pointe South 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 Emerald Pointe South.
A small, uniform enclave on the Key
With only 17 homes and no community amenities identified in current MLS listings, Emerald Pointe South is best understood as a quiet residential pocket rather than a resort-style association. The draw is the Longboat Key location itself and the consistency of the housing - early-2000s construction, generous living space at a median near 2,582 square feet, and a layout of homes close enough in age that upkeep and systems are at a broadly similar life stage.
The homestead share sits just under 60%, meaning a meaningful slice of these homes are owner-occupied as a primary residence, with the balance held as seasonal or investment property. That mix matters for turnover: a primary-heavy street tends to list less often, which reinforces the thin-supply picture here. If you want in, the move is to be ready before the right home lists.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Emerald Pointe South. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a 17-home enclave with no active listings and no recent closings, there is no comp sheet to lean on - you need someone who tracks this street directly and can tell you what a given home is actually worth based on condition and siting, not a formula. We watch the small Longboat Key pockets closely, and in a market this thin, the edge is knowing a home is coming before it hits the feed and being ready to act on it.
