Forest Park Estates (Panama City, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 7-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 94.9% of original asking; the median sale took 2 days (window ending 2026-09-20).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $375,000 | — | 2 | 94.9% | 3 |
| 2022 | $376,000 | — | 12 | 94.8% | 7 |
| 2021 | $200,000 | — | 5 | 100.0% | 5 |
| 2019 | $262,500 | — | 33 | 96.5% | 6 |
| 2016 | $192,450 | — | 69 | 96.6% | 4 |
| 2015 | $193,200 | — | 87 | 91.8% | 4 |
| 2013 | $138,000 | — | 17 | 100.0% | 3 |
Over the recorded series, Forest Park Estates’s median sold price moved from $138,000 (2013) to $375,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +172% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2013 at $138,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Forest Park Estates’s median moved +43% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2022 peak of $376,000, the current median stands at -0%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 7 closings a year (10-yr average 3.3). With roughly 3.3 closings a year, Forest Park Estates’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.
At Forest Park Estates’s $375,000 median and Bay County’s adopted 12.28 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,600 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,120 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 Bay County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $647,000 against the $375,000 recorded sold median (+73%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. Demand check: 0% of Forest Park Estates’s listings are under contract, against 23% for ZIP 32405 and 17% for Bay County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information.
With asking prices running +73% over the recorded sold median, a Forest Park Estates 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.
