🏝️ Little Gasparilla Island Market Update First Half of July 2025 13 Active Residential Listings | 12 Active Vacant Land Listings Little Gasparilla Island saw limited movement in the first half of July, a reminder that the island’s real estate market tends to move at its own island pace — slow, steady, and intentional. 🏠 Residential Highlights: - 1 New Listing joined the market, offering another chance to own a piece of this unique bridgeless barrier island. - 1 Property Went Pending, indicating that buyers are still actively seeking island homes despite the slower season. 🌴 Vacant Land Activity: - 3 Lots were Canceled and removed from the MLS. This may signal shifting seller strategies or repositioning for future listing. With 13 active homes and 12 available lots, inventory remains modest — especially for an island where supply is naturally limited. Whether you're looking to build from the ground up or find your own Old Florida getaway, the window of opportunity is open… but not wide. Little Gasparilla Island is only accessible by private boat or water taxi, adding to its exclusivity and charm. With no bridges, no cars, and no commercial development, it offers a lifestyle that’s as much about what you don’t see as what you do — shell-lined shores, unpaved sandy paths, and timeless sunsets. As part of a Gasparilla Island / Placida pioneer family, my connection to this area runs deep. If you’re dreaming of island life or considering selling your slice of paradise, I’d be honored to help. 🔗 Visit island.realestate for current listings and more insights into life on Little Gasparilla Island. — Mike Nabers Michael Saunders & Company – Boca Grande 📞 941-270-1339 | 📧 mikenabers@michaelsaunders.com
