One For-Sale Home Leaves The Board.

30 active homes. 19 active lots. About 5.0 months of supply. One for-sale home on Pine Run flipped to a lease — that is the named move today.

Ono Island Real Estate Market Report September 2026
A View from the Island

When a buyer asks me what is happening on Ono Island, I start with what changed overnight — and some Sundays the answer is one named move that thins the for-sale board.

Advising buyers, sellers, and clients who are building on Ono Island is one of my favorite parts of the job. This is Sunday, September 27, 2026. The named move: 31112 Pine Run Drive (MLS 397329) left the for-sale board. It was Active Residential at $654,200 yesterday and shows today as a Residential Lease at $3,500 a month. Active homes move 31 to 30. Active land holds at 19. Homes under contract hold at 7. Under-contract lots hold at 4. Months of supply eases to about 5.0 on the same six recent closings. No new listing. No new under-contract flip. No new sold overnight.

People come here for the boats, the quiet, and a house that can hold a Gulf Coast life. I watch the island the same way — including the mornings when one listing changes how the board counts.

New Activity as of Today

STATUS CHANGE · one for-sale home leaves the board.

Versus Saturday’s Watch, active homes move 31 to 30. Active land holds at 19. Homes under contract hold at 7. Under-contract lots hold at 4. The feed I watch sits at 61. Months of supply eases from about 5.2 to about 5.0. Zero NEW TO MARKET. Zero WENT UNDER CONTRACT. Zero SOLD overnight. Zero EXPIRED or WITHDRAWN from the feed. One STATUS CHANGE with a matching PRICE CHANGE — named below.

STATUS CHANGE · LEFT FOR-SALE INVENTORY · 31112 Pine Run Drive

MLS 397329 · was Active Residential at $654,200 · now Active Residential Lease at $3,500/month · 3 bed · 3 bath · 2,011 sf · built 2001. That is why active homes are 30 this morning instead of 31. Still on the island feed as a lease, not as a for-sale home.

STILL THE NEWEST CLOSE · $1,012,500 · 28749 Ono Boulevard

MLS 409055 · closed September 24, 2026 at $1,012,500 · about 3 bed · 2,530 sf. Still the newest close in the six-closing pace behind today’s months of supply. Not a new overnight sale.

ALREADY ON THE BOARD · STILL IN PLACE

30866 Ono North Loop is still Active at $1,275,000 (MLS 411112). River Road land is still Active at $525,000 after Friday’s cut (MLS 382889). 30194 Ono Boulevard is still Pending at $1,850,000 (MLS 400195). 30577 Ono North Loop West is still Pending at $175,000 (MLS 398397). 30762 Ono North Loop is still Pending at $919,000 (MLS 397525). 31060 Osprey Court is still Active at $895,000 (MLS 410834). 33040 Marlin Key Drive is still Active Under Contract at $1,795,000 (MLS 399753). 3950 Cutty Sark Cove is still Pending at $4,700,000 on Bayou St. John — that is Ono Island, never Cotton Bayou. My listing at 30532 Ono North Loop West is unchanged, Active at $1,129,000.

Months of supply

Absorption, or months of supply, is how many months it would take to sell what is listed now if sales kept going at the recent closing pace and nothing new came on the market. Six Ono Island homes closed between August 28 and September 27. Divide today’s 30 active homes by those 6 and you get about 5.0 months.

Pending and under contract

Pending and under contract both mean a buyer has the house under agreement. It is not sold yet, and I do not count it as active inventory. Seven homes and four lots are in that group this morning — the same set as Saturday.

Saturday this same picture was about 5.2 months on thirty-one homes and six closings. Today the for-sale home count is thirty, so supply eases to about 5.0 months on the same six closings. Land holds at nineteen lots. Land supply I will not put a number on: I do not have a verified list of closed land sales for the last thirty days, and I would rather say so than invent a rate.

Where months of supply has sat lately:

About September 16 · 3.2 months
Friday, September 18 · 3.9 months
Wednesday, September 23 · 5.0 months
Thursday, September 24 · 6.0 months
Friday, September 25 · 5.2 months
Saturday, September 26 · 5.2 months
Sunday, September 27 · 5.0 months · Pine Run left for-sale board

Versus Saturday’s Watch, active homes 31 to 30, land 19 to 19, homes under contract 7 to 7, under-contract lots 4 to 4, the feed 61 to 61, and months of supply 5.2 to 5.0. Versus a week ago Saturday, September 19, homes 31 to 30, lots 20 to 19, homes under contract 6 to 7, under-contract lots 3 to 4, the feed 60 to 61, and supply about 3.9 to 5.0.

Seven homes are already spoken for while thirty sit active. The named story today is 31112 Pine Run Drive leaving the for-sale board as a lease.

The one idea

A Sunday status flip still leaves a thin new-build path. Supply sits near 5.0 months on six recent closings, and new construction is still three houses long, which is why 30532 Ono North Loop West, my listing at $1,129,000, is still a genuine way onto a new house here.

Active Homes · 30

High, middle, and low

Three houses tell the story. The other twenty-seven sit between them. The median is the middle price on the list, not the average. The average gets pulled up by the top of the island. Today that middle house is $1,547,500. The average is $1,963,253. Search current homes here: Ono Island homes for sale.

That status flip is why the active for-sale home count is 30 instead of 31. Not a closed sale — a change from for-sale to lease.

Active Land · 19

Nineteen lots. The land set holds.

The land set holds at nineteen. Friday’s River Road cut to $525,000 (MLS 382889) is still the ask — not a new cut today. The land average sits near $579,405. The median is $495,000. The high is still 32438 River Road on Old River. If you are building, start with how I walk vacant land, then talk about the wall. I recommend ICF. The lot here is too dear for a light wall. More on building: new construction on Ono Island and vacant land and custom build.

What is already spoken for

The under-contract set is still seven homes and four lots — unchanged versus Saturday. 3950 Cutty Sark Cove is on Ono Island, on Bayou St. John, and it is still the high end of the home side. 30194 Ono Boulevard at $1,850,000 remains Pending. 30762 Ono North Loop at $919,000 remains Pending. 33040 Marlin Key Drive at $1,795,000 remains Active Under Contract. 30577 Ono North Loop West at $175,000 remains Pending on the land side.

New Construction

Three houses. That is the whole new-build list.

No new construction came onto the thin list today. The set is still the same three houses: one going up now, one finished and still available, one pending. 30866 Ono North Loop is a 2022 resale still Active — it is not on the new-construction list. On an island of thirty active for-sale homes, that is how thin the new-build path is. Browse more here: new construction on Ono Island.

My listing · $1,129,000 · 30532 Ono North Loop West

5 bed · about 3.5 bath · 2,680 sf · 2026 · fall 2026 delivery · MLS 409516

This is my listing. New construction on Ono Island is scarce, and this is a genuine way onto a new house at a number that still makes sense here. If you have been waiting on a new-build, call or text me and let us walk it.

Finished 2026 · $1,150,000 · 31201 River Road

4 bed · 3.5 bath · 2,538 sf · built 2026 · MLS 390944. A completed house, not a rendering. Still Active.

Pending · $1,059,000 · 30837 River Road

4 bed · 3 bath · 2,579 sf · built 2025 · MLS 396634. Under agreement, so the available new-build list is really two.

If you want the quiet, the glass, and an insurance file that belongs with a Gulf Coast house, I absolutely love ICF. I have experience with successful ICF builders on this island, I know who they are, and I would love to introduce you. Pros and vendors: ICF professionals on Ono Island.

The questions

What buyers are asking me this week

Click a question to open the answer.

What actually changed on Ono Island today?

One named move. Versus Saturday’s Watch, 31112 Pine Run Drive (MLS 397329) left the for-sale board — it was Active Residential at $654,200 and now shows as a Residential Lease at $3,500 a month. Active homes move 31 to 30. Land holds at 19. Homes under contract hold at 7. Under-contract lots hold at 4. Months of supply eases to about 5.0 on six verified closings from August 28 through September 27. Zero new to market. Zero went under contract. Zero sold overnight.

Call or text me if you want the short list that is still available.

What does about 5.0 months of supply mean on Ono Island?

It means that if homes kept closing at the pace of the last thirty days and nothing new came on the market, the current 30 active homes would be gone in about 5.0 months. Six Ono Island homes closed between August 28 and September 27, which is the pace behind that math. Versus Saturday, the supply number eased because one for-sale home left the board. Land supply I am not putting a number on, because I do not have verified closed land sales for the last thirty days.

Call or text me if you want that picture for one street or one body of water.

Is there new construction I can still get into?

Yes. 30532 Ono North Loop West is my listing. 5 bed, 2,680 square feet, delivering fall 2026, at $1,129,000. The only other finished 2026 house is $1,150,000 on River Road, and the 2025 house is pending. Three houses is the whole new-build list. 30866 Ono North Loop is a 2022 resale, not new construction.

Call or text me if you want to walk it.

Should I buy a house or a lot right now?

If you want a new house, the list is three long and one of them is pending. 30532 Ono North Loop West is my listing, new construction at $1,129,000. If you want the house that is in your head, land is the larger inventory at nineteen active lots, and the lots with a dock already in are the ones getting spoken for. I walk both with you. Advising clients on building here is one of my favorite parts of the job.

Call or text me and tell me how you boat.

From Here

How do we begin?

Tell me the water you want. Ole River, Bayou St. John, a canal, Harbour, or a quiet interior street. I will match that to what is actually for sale, what is already spoken for, and what I am watching before it reaches a search.

This is The Ono Watch. I keep writing it as the island moves — including the Sundays with one named status flip. For more Ono Island reading, start in the Ono Watch category or the Ono Island category.
