As of September 2026, the MLS records 103 closed sales in Covington Woods in Pace, FL since 2008, the most recent in August 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $245,000 to $285,000 (median $277,500), on homes of 1,348 to 1,563 sq ft. Across Pace as a whole, 338 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $375,767, 58 median days on market, with 48 homes for sale today. At that median and Santa Rosa County's FY2025-26 rate of 12.81 mills, annual property tax runs about $3,550 ($3,050 with the full homestead exemption).
Covington Woods is a small, built-out pocket of 60 homes in Pace, with construction running from 2007 to 2022 and a median build year of 2014. There is no active inventory and only a single closing in the current window, so there is no live comp set to lean on. What sets price here is condition, updates, and how the specific floor plan compares to the few recent sales in the broader Pace market rather than any published range.
For sellers, thin supply cuts both ways: a well-prepared listing faces little direct competition, but the lack of active comps means buyers and appraisers will look outside the community to justify value. For buyers, expect to wait for the right home to surface and to move decisively when one does. This is a patience-and-preparation market, not a browse-the-listings market.
The 60-Second Overview
Covington Woods is a compact, established neighborhood of 60 homes built between 2007 and 2022, with a median living area near 1,800 square feet and a high share of owner-occupancy.

The Covington Woods buying strategy.
If we were buying in Covington Woods today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Covington Woods.
A closed community with steady ownership
The housing stock is consistent: a median year built of 2014 and a median living area of 1,792 square feet point to newer-construction single-family homes rather than a mix of eras or sizes. With a build window closing in 2022, the community is essentially finished, so future supply comes almost entirely from resale.
Roughly 77% of homes carry a homestead exemption, which signals a largely owner-occupied neighborhood and typically means listings come to market intentionally rather than in waves. No community amenities were identified from current MLS listings, so buyers drawn to shared facilities should weigh that; the appeal here is the homes themselves and the Pace location.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Covington Woods. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
