Market Heat

Over the 12 months ending 2026-07-28, 5 recorded sales closed at a median of $735,000, a median 27 days on market, sellers accepting 93% of original asking (+9% versus the prior year). At the median price and Bay County's FY2025-26 rate of 12.28 mills, annual property tax runs about $9,020 ($8,540 with the full homestead exemption).
Sterling Beach Condo is pricing at a median of $735,000, with listings moving in just over 27 days on average. That pace, paired with a market heat score of 55, points to a market that is active but not frantic — homes here find buyers without the bidding-war urgency you see in tighter segments of the beach market.
The trailing window we're pulling from is thin — only 5 closings — so treat the median as a directional signal rather than a precise line. A single high- or low-end unit can swing that number meaningfully. Anyone pricing to sell or structuring an offer here should lean on a current comp pull, not just this snapshot.

Who Sterling Beach Condo is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with a budget near the current median who want a beach condo with a documented multi-year appreciation trend
- Sellers whose unit is updated and competitively positioned, looking to price against a 27-day-average market
- Buyers comfortable doing independent diligence on building amenities and HOA specifics before committing
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a confirmed amenity package (pool, fitness, etc.) locked in before they'll consider a unit
- Anyone wanting a large, statistically deep comp set before setting a price — the current data window is thin
- Buyers expecting entry pricing well under the current median in this building
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 28 of each year, from record-level CPAR MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($735K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($675K) IS the +8.9% one-year change.
Windows contain 1 to 13 sales each (5 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings.

The Sterling Beach Condo buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sterling Beach Condo 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 Sterling Beach Condo.
What's Actually Driving the Number
The 71.0% appreciation since 2012 is the headline here — it's a multi-year climb, not a pandemic-era blip, which suggests the pricing floor at Sterling Beach Condo has been reset over time rather than propped up by a single hot stretch. The 8.9% year-over-year gain shows that trend hasn't stalled.
A median dollar-on-market of just over 27 days signals reasonably efficient pricing — units that are priced to the current market move without much drama. No community amenities are currently identified from MLS data for this building, so if shared facilities matter to your decision, verify directly with the condo association rather than assuming a standard package.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sterling Beach Condo. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
