EASTERN LAKE ESTATES (Santa Rosa Beach, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, 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 95.2% of original asking; the median sale took 81 days (window ending 2026-09-20).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

At EASTERN LAKE ESTATES’s $2,100,000 median and Walton County’s adopted 9.758 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $20,490 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $20,110 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 Walton County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $2,197,000 against the $2,100,000 recorded sold median (+5%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 8 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 33% of EASTERN LAKE ESTATES’s listings are under contract, against 18% for ZIP 32459 and 18% for Walton County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings.
Asking and recorded sold prices are within a few percent of each other here, so the table above is close to what a EASTERN LAKE ESTATES buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.
