WaterSound Origins Market Update: More Inventory, Faster Decisions
Published December 2025 — Data through end of November 2025
(Single-Family Homes)
WaterSound Origins continues to do its own thing — and if you’ve been watching the broader 30A market, that’s not surprising. November brought more inventory, fewer closings, and a very clear buyer’s market on paper. But here’s the twist: when homes do sell, they’re moving quickly and close to asking price.
Let’s break it down.
📉 Sales Slowed, But Buyers Didn’t Disappear
-
6 homes sold, down 53.8% month-over-month and 53.8% year-over-year.
-
16 homes went under contract, up 60% from October, though still 11.1% lower than last year.
This isn’t buyer apathy — it’s selectivity. Fewer closings, but plenty of buyers lining up when the right home hits.
🏡 Inventory Grew (Giving Buyers Options)
-
Active listings were up 25.8% year-over-year, though down slightly from October.
-
Months of inventory (closed sales): 13, up a dramatic 171.9% from last year — firmly a buyer’s market.
For buyers, this means choice and leverage. For sellers, it means pricing and presentation matter more than ever.
💰 Prices Are Holding, Not Free-Falling
Despite slower sales, pricing stayed relatively steady:
-
Median sold price: $1,305,000
-
⬆️ 14.5% year-over-year
-
⬆️ 0.4% month-over-month
-
-
Average sold price: $1,425,000
-
⬇️ 8.7% from October
-
⬇️ 2.7% year-over-year
-
-
Price per square foot: $481
-
⬇️ 13.2% month-over-month
-
⬇️ 7.7% year-over-year
-
Translation: prices are adjusting, not collapsing — and that’s a healthy correction for this market.
⏳ Homes Are Selling Faster
This is the stat that stands out most:
-
Average days on market: 31 days
-
⬇️ 48.3% year-over-year
-
⬇️ 29.5% from last month
-
-
Sold-to-original list price ratio: 99%, up 3.1% year-over-year
So yes, buyers have leverage — but when they commit, they move decisively.
🔑 The Takeaway
WaterSound Origins is a buyer’s market with momentum pockets.
Buyers have more options and negotiating power than they’ve had in a while — but sellers who price realistically are still seeing quick, clean sales. This is a market that rewards strategy over urgency.
