CANDLEWOOD VILLAGE (Fort Walton Beach, FL): 4 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-07-25, a 4-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 93.3% of original asking; the median sale took 71 days (window ending 2026-07-25).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |

Over the recorded series, CANDLEWOOD VILLAGE’s median sold price moved from $80,500 (2015) to $242,500 (12 months ending 2026-07-25) — +201% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
What actually trades here: 98% detached single-family, 2% manufactured home in the current window.
At CANDLEWOOD VILLAGE’s $242,500 median and Okaloosa County’s adopted 12.89 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,130 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $2,620 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Okaloosa County tax page.
Cash bought 0% of recorded CANDLEWOOD VILLAGE sales in the window ending 2026-07 (0 of 4) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close.
