Singer Island, Florida

It's a good fit if you want oceanfront or Intracoastal living without a house to maintain — 116 of the 127 active listings are condos, and 116 are waterfront. The trade-off is that this is a vertical, resort-style island rather than a neighborhood of streets and yards, so most buyers are choosing the lock-and-leave lifestyle on purpose.

It runs above the county average: the median list price is $795,000 and 51 of the active listings are priced over $1M. That said, the range starts at $298,999, so there are genuine entry points — you can browse by price to see where the lower end sits.

Active listings run from $298,999 to $7,899,000 with a median list price of $795,000, and the average price is about $671 per square foot on a median 1,500-square-foot unit. Over the last 12 months, 165 homes sold at a median of $1,015,000, so closed prices tend to skew higher than the current list median. The waterfront homes are where most of that value sits.

It's a buyer-friendly pace: homes are taking a median of 104 days to sell and sellers are getting about 92% of asking on average. With 127 active listings and 165 sold in the past year, there's steady inventory and room to negotiate — keep an eye on just reduced listings.

The median property tax runs about $11,036 a year, which reflects the island's higher price points and oceanfront values. Because nearly all inventory is condo-based, expect meaningful monthly association fees on top of taxes — budget for them when comparing townhomes & condos, and confirm each building's dues and reserves before you write an offer.
