What Sterling Sands condos are selling for

Unit type Sales (12 mo) Sold range Median $/sq ft Asking now
2BR/2BA · about 861 sq ft 1 $652,500 ~$758 $639,000–$659,000
2BR/2BA · about 1,200 sq ft 1 $815,000 ~$679 $929,000
3BR/3BA · about 1,907 sq ft 1 $1,465,000 ~$768 None listed
What this means for buyers: Sterling Sands is a smaller building with only a few sales a year: three in the past 12 months, each closing 1% to 7% under list. The four 861 sq ft 2-bedroom units for sale are all priced between $639,000 and $659,000, right in line with the one sale of that floor plan at $652,500. So expect modest negotiating room, and expect floor and view to set the price. The larger 1,200 sq ft unit at $929,000 is asking more than the last sale of that plan at $815,000. Prices run around $700 to $770 per square foot, putting Sterling Sands between the Holiday Isle buildings and the newer high-rises east on Highway 98.
