Where 30A’s most exclusive address has been, where it stands today, and where we think it’s headed — in plain English, refreshed every quarter.
The State of Alys Beach · Q2 2026
30A’s pinnacle, and it’s accelerating
Alys Beach is the top of the 30A market — and arguably the Gulf Coast’s — instantly recognizable for its gleaming white, Bermuda-inspired architecture and one of the most rigorous design codes in American town-building. It is rare, coveted, and expensive: over the past year 54 homes and condos sold here at a median of $5.82M, ranging all the way to $28M. But the real headline is momentum. Through 2026, sales climbed, prices pushed higher, and homes went from lingering for months to selling in a matter of days.

Where We’ve Been
A full year of sales in Alys Beach
Even at the very top of the market, Alys Beach had a busy, accelerating year — 54 homes and condos sold, together worth roughly $353 million. Activity built quarter over quarter, from 10 sales last summer to 22 this spring, while the median stepped steadily upward. For an ultra-luxury enclave this small, that’s a remarkable show of demand.

Why Alys Beach Holds Its Value
A town unlike any other
There is nothing else like Alys Beach. Its all-white masonry architecture, courtyard homes, and famously strict design standards make it instantly identifiable and impossible to replicate — a fully master-planned town where scarcity is written into the code itself. Add landmarks like the Caliza pool, Fonville Press, and a raised seaside nature preserve, and you have the rarest kind of real estate: a place that trades less like a neighborhood and more like a collectible. That’s why Alys commands the highest prices on 30A — and why they keep climbing.
Where We Are · The Snapshot
Red-hot at the top
As of June 30, 2026, roughly 34 homes are listed for sale in Alys Beach and 4 are under contract — about 7.6 months of supply, with a median asking price approaching $8M. But inventory understates the heat: homes sold this spring in a median of just four days, at essentially full asking price. When an Alys home hits the market, buyers move immediately.
We’ve begun hand-recording Alys Beach’s active and under-contract counts each month; that trend line will build out over the coming quarters.
Where We Are · Speed & Segments
From months to days
No 30A community shifted faster in 2026 than Alys. Homes that took nearly five months to sell last summer were closing in about four days by spring, and sellers went from netting 93% of asking to essentially 100%. It’s one of the most dramatic swings toward sellers we’ve tracked anywhere on the corridor.
Median days on market by quarter
Lower is faster. Alys Beach’s quarterly median collapsed from about 144 days last summer to just 4 days this spring.
By home type
Median sold price, trailing 12 months. Even Alys condominiums trade well above most 30A single-family homes.

Across 54 sales — the highest-priced market on 30A, with a ceiling of $28M.
Where We Think It’s Headed
The top, tightening further
Everything in the data points the same direction: prices rising, sales accelerating, and days on market near zero. With a fixed number of homes inside a town that can never be duplicated, Alys Beach looks set to remain 30A’s benchmark address — and to keep testing new price highs. Expect intense competition for the best homes and little patience for anything mispriced. For sellers, this is a moment of real leverage; for buyers, speed and preparation are everything. As always, the right move depends on your home, your street, and your timeline — and that’s a conversation, not a chart.
