Inlet Beach Heights (Panama City Beach, FL): 17 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 15-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 96.2% of original asking; the median sale took 45 days; new construction was 23.5% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-09-20).

Over the recorded series, Inlet Beach Heights’s median sold price moved from $148,000 (2012) to $399,900 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +170% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $148,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Inlet Beach Heights’s median moved +60% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2023 peak of $477,500, the current median stands at -16%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 6 to 24 closings a year (10-yr average 15.7).
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-10-01: 13 active listings (plus 1 pending) asking from $279,000 to $1,399,000, median $619,900; 7 of 13 have been on the market over 60 days (median 61 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 1972 and 2026 (median 2015), 2 of them new construction; none of the 10 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 18 ft). For a seller this is the competition a buyer will tour alongside your home; for a buyer, the stale share is where negotiating room usually is. See the current Inlet Beach Heights listings →
At Inlet Beach Heights’s $399,900 median and Bay County’s adopted 12.28 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,910 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,420 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 $599,995 against the $399,900 recorded sold median (+50%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. Demand check: 21% of Inlet Beach Heights’s listings are under contract, against 11% for ZIP 32408 and 17% for Bay County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Momentum’s market-heat index for Inlet Beach Heights reads 49/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
With asking prices running +50% over the recorded sold median, a Inlet Beach Heights 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.
