Sell My House in Treasure Island, FL: 2026 Market Guide

Quick answer: Treasure Island is the slowest of the Gulf Beaches markets we cover right now. As of August 2026, the median sale price was about $620,000, down 7.4% from a year earlier, with a median of 134 days on market, up from 80, and homes selling about 5% under list. Only about 1.5% sold above list and about 42% had a price drop. In a market like this, an accurate first price and strong documentation matter more than a long listing period.

The Treasure Island market by the numbers

Redfin's data for August 2026:

• Median sale price: about $620,000 (three months ending August), down 7.4% year over year
• Homes sold: 71 in August, up about 8% from a year earlier
• Median days on market: 134, compared with 80 a year earlier
• Sale-to-list ratio: about 94.8%, so the typical home sold about 5% under asking
• Sold above list: about 2% of homes
• Homes with a price drop: about 42%

Redfin rates Treasure Island "not very competitive." Sales rose slightly (71 versus 66) while days on market lengthened sharply, which suggests sellers are meeting the market through price rather than buyers disappearing.

What makes selling in Treasure Island different

Treasure Island, home of Sunset Beach, is a barrier island city along Gulf Boulevard between the Gulf and the Intracoastal, with a mix of single-family homes, townhomes and condos. Elevation, flood zone and building age vary from block to block, and each moves price.

Of the three Gulf Beaches cities in this series, Treasure Island has the highest share of price drops and the longest median time on market. The lesson for sellers is not that the market is closed. It is that the first price is the most important one, because each reduction signals weakness and resets buyer expectations.

Condo and townhome sellers face association questions on reserves, assessments and building inspections; see Florida condo milestone inspections and SIRS. If your property was damaged by Helene or Milton, read selling a storm-damaged home on the Pinellas beaches.

What it costs to sell here

Florida charges a documentary stamp tax on the deed of $0.70 per $100 of the sale price, customarily paid by the seller. On a $620,000 sale, that is about $4,340. Who pays for the owner's title policy varies by county custom and is negotiable in the contract. Add your mortgage payoff and prorated property taxes, which Florida sellers credit to the buyer at closing. For the full breakdown, see selling a house in St. Petersburg: costs, flood and insurance.

On a $620,000 sale, a 2.5% listing-side commission is about $15,500. Our listing-side fee of 1% plus $400 is about $6,600, a difference of roughly $8,900. That is an illustration, not a guarantee, and buyer-agent compensation is separate and negotiable. See what a 1% listing fee covers.
