Bay Oaks (Pensacola, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-07-13, a 9-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 98.4% of original asking; the median sale took 11 days (window ending 2026-07-13).

Over the recorded series, Bay Oaks’s median sold price moved from $155,000 (2013) to $225,500 (12 months ending 2026-07-13) — +45% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2013 at $155,000. Against the 2020 peak of $395,000, the current median stands at -43%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 5 closings a year (10-yr average 2.9). With roughly 2.9 closings a year, Bay Oaks’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 1973 and 1993 (median 1979); none of the 7 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 91 ft). See the current Bay Oaks listings →
Current asking prices run a median $497,000 against the $225,500 recorded sold median (+120%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 12 months of supply at the current sales pace. Since 2005, 85 Bay Oaks listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (2 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 47% of Bay Oaks listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 50%. Momentum’s market-heat index for Bay Oaks reads 67/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
With asking prices running +120% over the recorded sold median, a Bay Oaks listing priced against the closed record above stands out against its competition; one priced against the asking crowd joins the statewide list of homes that never sold.
