What this means for buyers: Sterling Shores is one of the busier Gulf-front buildings in Destin: 10 sales in the past year and 13 units on the market now. Nearly every sale closed below its last list price, usually by 4% to 11% and once by 14%, so most sellers here are negotiating. The smaller 2-bedroom plans (943–977 sq ft) are the most common sale, at $450,000 to $545,000. The large end units and penthouses sold for $1.1 to $1.3 million. Floor, view and furnishing condition make a big difference, so compare each unit against sales of the same floor plan.
