Unknown fields always sort to the end. "Not published" means we have not verified the figure at source yet, not that it does not exist. Sorting by score and confidence is available so you can see both quality and data depth at a glance.
Direct answers
The lowest verified starting price in the WPP Real Estate Index is updated quarterly as new releases are confirmed at source. Unknown pricing is never estimated or published as fact. Sort the Starting Price column to see the current entry point, or request buyer availability for communities with unpublished pricing.

It depends on the community. Each profile in the index carries a rental status: allowed, restricted, not allowed, or not published. Rules range from unrestricted short-term rental programs to minimum stay requirements and full prohibitions. Use the Rental filter above to compare, and read the rental rules section on each community profile before buying.
Inclusions vary widely. Some communities include surf sessions with ownership, others sell memberships separately, and a few grant owner-priority booking on a public lagoon. 0 of the 14 communities we track are private surf models. The Surf Access column shows each community's model, and each profile details exactly what ownership gets you in the water.
Some communities permit corporate or LLC purchase structures while others restrict ownership to individuals. Use the Corporate filter above to see which communities confirm it. Wave Pool Party never provides tax, legal, or investment advice; structures vary by jurisdiction, so verify with local counsel.
Methodology & data policy
Every community in the index is independently researched by the WPP Real Estate Desk from developer releases, planning filings, official sales materials, and direct outreach. Data is reviewed quarterly.
