How Did the Madeira Beach Condos STR Market Perform in May 2026?
Twelve closings in May makes Madeira Beach the highest-volume STR condo market on the corridor this month. The 76-day median DOM and 93% SP/OLP tell a consistent story: buyers are willing to move but they are taking their time, and overpriced inventory is sitting while correctly priced units transact.
What Are the Short-Term Rental Rules in Madeira Beach for Condos Properties?
STR eligibility in Madeira Beach is governed by Madeira Beach Ordinance No. 2018-01. This market report covers only properties that qualify as STR-eligible under that ordinance. General Madeira Beach market reports that include all property types regardless of rental eligibility are not useful to STR investors because non-STR properties trade on completely different buyer profiles, income potential, and financing structures.
Always verify: MLS rental minimum data is not always accurate. Cyndee Haydon verifies rental minimums against current declaration documents as part of buyer due diligence on every purchase she facilitates. Contact (727) 710-8035 before making any offer.
For complete STR rules, building eligibility list, and ordinance citations, see the Madeira Beach STR investment guide and the Madeira Beach STR Investment Guide.
