June 2025 Market Recap: What’s Happening on 30A East?
If you've been dreaming about owning a piece of 30A or just love watching the market like it’s your favorite reality show—June brought some interesting plot twists. Here's your no-fluff, easy-to-digest breakdown of what went down on the east end of 30A last month (think Rosemary, Seacrest, Alys, Watersound, Watercolor and everything in between).
📉 Inventory's Up, Sales Are... Down?
Yep. Inventory jumped nearly 16% compared to this time last year. So if you're a buyer? You've got options. Lots of them.
But here's the plot twist—sales volume dropped over 36% year-over-year. That’s not just a dip; it's a full-on market cooldown. The number of homes actually sold was cut nearly in half (down 48%!), and homes are now taking twice as long to sell compared to last summer.
🏡 Median Prices Held Strong... For Now
Even with the slow sales, sellers aren't slashing prices just yet. The median sales price was $2.2M—up 8.8% from last year. That said, the price per square foot is slipping a bit (down nearly 5%), which means buyers are getting slightly more house for the money.
🤔 What This Means If You’re Buying
Now might be your time to shine. More listings, longer days on market, and a softer price per square foot mean more negotiating power. You can be a little choosier, take your time, and maybe score a better deal than you could have last year.
💡 What This Means If You’re Selling
It’s not panic mode—but it’s also not 2021. The homes that are selling right now are the ones that are priced strategicallyand staged like they’re going on a first date. If your property isn’t turning heads in this climate, it’s going to sit.
Final Takeaway
The 30A East market is showing signs of normalization (finally). It’s still luxury real estate, and that median price proves it—but buyers and sellers alike need to shift their strategies if they want to win.
