The Preserve at Paradise Cove right now

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 9.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.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 Emerald Coast MLS records, as of September 20, 2026. Confidence: Medium (3 active and pending listings, 4 closed sales in 12 months).

🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($561K) is up 7.9% from the prior 12 months ($520K). With about 6 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 Emerald Coast MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 20.

If we were buying in The Preserve at Paradise Cove today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 The Preserve at Paradise Cove.
