The market in context

These come from outside sources, not from our MLS records. We keep them separate so you can see where an independent series agrees with ours and where it does not.

Homes for sale and homes going under contract

Both lines are counted from Redfin's county file: active listings, and pending sales, contracts signed that month. Neither is an estimate of buyers. The chart's source line carries the latest month in the file. These figures are Redfin's, not computed from our MLS feeds.

In 2026-07, 5,611 homes were listed for sale across the Destin-Walton market and 862 went under contract. A year earlier the counts were 5,955 and 783, so homes for sale are down 5.8% and contracts are up 10.1% over twelve months. Fewer homes and more contracts is the shape of a market tightening toward sellers.

What renters are asked to pay

Typical ASKED rent for units listed on Zillow (Zillow Observed Rent Index), by county, monthly. Asking rent is what new listings seek, not what sitting tenants pay; renewals are invisible to it. These figures are Zillow's, not computed from our MLS feeds.

Okaloosa asks $1,976, +2.4% in a year and 49% above 2019 levels. Walton asks $1,955, +0.2% in a year and 41% above 2019 levels. Asking rent describes new listings, not renewals, so a flat or falling line here reaches sitting tenants slowly and shows up first in concessions on new leases.
