Living in South Marine: What the Listings Say

Condos make up 87 of the 112 active listings in South Marine, which is 77. 7 percent of everything on the market. Townhouses account for 20 more, and just 5 detached houses round out the mix. This is a young stock. The median year built is 2018, and 31. 5 percent of the listings are new builds. Condos carry a median price of $725,000, while townhouses sit at $981,944 and the few detached houses reach a median of $1,699,000. The typical unit runs 941 square feet at $801 per square foot. Two-bedroom homes lead by count with 62 listings. One-bedrooms number 21, three-bedrooms 24, and four-bedrooms only 4. Median strata fees run $592. If you want a recent building, you have options: Mode and Avalon 3 each show 7 listings.

A 941-square-foot home at $801 per square foot puts a typical purchase around the $769,000 median list price, and the $592 median strata fee is the number that shapes your month once you have the keys. That fee covers the shared upkeep on buildings that skew new, with a median year built of 2018. Newer stock tends to mean fewer surprise repairs. What you get for that carrying cost is a two-bedroom layout, since two-bedroom homes lead the market at 62 listings with a median of $763,950. Daily life here sits close to that square footage. Under 1,000 feet asks you to be deliberate about space. If you want more room, three-bedroom listings number 24 at a median of $999,000, and the jump in both size and price is real. Buildings like Tugboat Landing and Shoreline show what the recent construction looks like, each with a handful of active units. Budget the mortgage. Then budget the $592 on top. That second figure is the one people forget when they compare a condo here to a detached house elsewhere.

Start with the price bands. Right now 42 listings fall between $500K and $750K, and another 46 sit in the $750K to $1M range, so the middle of this market is where you will spend most of your time looking. Pick a lane before you tour. If your ceiling is $530,000, the one-bedroom pool of 21 listings is where to focus. If you can reach the $763,950 median on a two-bedroom, the 62 active listings give you real choice. Book showings in two or three of the buildings that show volume, like Avalon 2 with 6 listings or Paradigm with 4. Compare the same floor plan across them. That is how you learn what $801 per square foot actually buys.
