Laguna Beach 8Th (Panama City Beach, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-07-28, a 5-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 97.6% of original asking; the median sale took 134 days; new construction was 66.7% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-07-28).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $780,000 | — | 134 | 97.6% | 3 |
| 2021 | $302,450 | — | 50 | 99.0% | 4 |
| 2019 | $248,500 | — | 71 | 95.7% | 5 |
| 2018 | $219,900 | — | 43 | 100.0% | 3 |
| 2014 | $140,000 | — | 20 | 94.0% | 3 |
Over the recorded series, Laguna Beach 8Th’s median sold price moved from $140,000 (2014) to $780,000 (12 months ending 2026-07-28) — +457% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
At Laguna Beach 8Th’s $780,000 median and Bay County’s adopted 12.28 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $9,580 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $9,090 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.
