Exciting Opportunities Ahead for Gulf Coast Real Estate in 2026

Gulf Coast home sales struggled in 2025, remaining roughly 25% below peak levels.

Condominiums lagged due to buyer hesitation over future holding costs and uncertainty.

Luxury homes above $1 million led growth nationally and locally, continuing a post-COVID trend.

Since 2020, local prices rose ~50%, pressuring affordability for buyers under $500,000.

Early 2026 optimism hints at opportunity, with expected national sales up 5% and prices +2%.
