🏝️ 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.

🏝️ August 2025 Market Update – Boca Grande

By Mike Nabers • September 8, 2025
August and September are traditionally the slowest months in Boca Grande, as many local businesses close and use this time to rest and reset before the busy winter season. With the summer heat still lingering, most winter residents aren’t expected back until conditions begin to cool, which adds to the quieter pace of the island this time of year. Still, the market continues to attract interest, and homes saw steady movement throughout August. This local trend is in line with the broader Florida housing market. According to Florida Realtors’ July statistics, closed sales of single-family homes statewide were up slightly year-over-year (around 3%), while condos and townhouses continued to lag behind with a nearly 12% decline. Median prices also reflected modest cooling, with single-family home prices down 1.7% from last July and condos down just over 6%. Importantly, mortgage rates have eased closer to 6.5%, giving some buyers a bit more room, though affordability remains the main challenge. Inventory has also been trending downward after peaking earlier in the year, providing sellers with a little more leverage in negotiations. 📍 Residential - 44 Active Listings - 9 New Listings - 7 Sold - 3 Pending - 7 Canceled - 3 Withdrawn - 3 Expired - 2 Temporarily Off-Market 🌴 Vacant Land - 7 Active Listings - 1 Canceled - 1 Expired  Even with late-summer slowdowns, Boca Grande continues to showcase a balanced mix of activity, from new listings coming online to steady closed sales. Buyers still have a variety of opportunities across residential and vacant land, while sellers can benefit from motivated end-of-summer demand. 👉 For the latest active listings and market data, visit https://island.realestate. 📞 Call Captain Mike or visit https://island.realestate to explore properties from Palm Island to North Captiva — including Boca Grande, Little Gasparilla, Cayo Costa, and Useppa.
