Pelican'S Perch is a small, low-volume market — the current window shows only three closings, so the median figures here should be read as a directional signal rather than a statistically deep trend. At a median price of $338,000 and $187.17 per square foot, pricing sits in a moderate band for McIntosh County, with the per-square-foot figure suggesting most activity is coming from standard, non-luxury inventory rather than high-end renovation or new construction.
A median 35 days on market points to a measured, not urgent, pace — homes here are not sitting for months, but they are also not moving in a matter of days. Combined with a year-over-year change of roughly 0.2%, pricing has been essentially flat, which favors buyers who want time to evaluate a property without feeling rushed, and sellers who should price close to recent comparables rather than chase a trend that has not materialized.
Pelican'S Perch right now
🟡 Balanced market. 6.0 months of supply and 0% 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 scout records, as of August 31, 2026. Confidence: Low (1 active and pending listings, 3 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($338K) is up 0.2% from the prior 12 months ($337K). With about 2 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 scout closed sales, 12-month windows ending August 31. Confidence: Low (3 and 3 sales in the two windows).

Who Pelican'S Perch is best for.
Best for
- Buying with a longer hold period in mind, where near-term price swings matter less than long-term positioning.
- Prioritizing a straightforward, amenity-light residential setting over clubhouse or recreational features.
- Comfortable making decisions with a smaller comparable-sales pool and working closely with an agent to interpret it.
Probably not for
- Needing a fast, high-volume market with many recent comparables to lean on for pricing confidence.
- Shopping specifically for a community built around shared amenities like a pool, clubhouse, or organized activities.
- Expecting rapid price appreciation, given the near-flat year-over-year movement in this data window.

The Pelican'S Perch buying strategy.
If we were buying in Pelican'S Perch 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 Pelican'S Perch.
A thin but steady pocket of McIntosh County
With only three recorded closings in the current window, Pelican'S Perch does not generate the volume of a high-turnover subdivision, and that has direct implications for how buyers and sellers should approach it. A small closings count means each transaction carries more weight in shaping the median, so a single unusually priced sale can shift the numbers more than it would in a larger community. Treat the $338,000 median and $187.17 per-square-foot figure as a useful benchmark, not a precise ceiling or floor.
No community amenities have been identified from current MLS listings, which suggests this is a straightforward residential setting rather than one built around a clubhouse, pool, or organized recreation. That can be a plus for buyers prioritizing lower carrying costs and privacy, and a drawback for those specifically shopping for amenity-driven living. The near-flat year-over-year price movement and a median 35-day market time both point to a market that is stable but not competitive in the way higher-turnover coastal communities in the area can be.
