What the numbers say
Every home that sold was built 2024 or later, so this is new construction, and the pace of sales is the builder’s release schedule as much as the market.
Supply. 17 for sale against 8.2 a month selling, roughly 2.1 months of supply. Under four months generally favors sellers, over six favors buyers, and a builder still releasing lots can hold supply high without the resale market being soft.
Price. At $165 per square foot against $172 for Cantonment overall, homes here cost less per foot than the town average, so the money mostly buys square footage.
Where it is. Sanctuary is in Cantonment, Escambia County, Florida, in the NAS Pensacola (north side) commute shed. The current town-wide numbers are on the Cantonment market page.
