Over the recorded series, Laguna Beach Estates’s median sold price moved from $288,000 (2012) to $510,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +77% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $288,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Laguna Beach Estates’s median moved +145% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2025 peak of $920,000, the current median stands at -45%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 4 to 19 closings a year (10-yr average 10). With roughly 10 closings a year, Laguna Beach 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.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-10-01: 7 active listings (plus 0 pending) asking from $224,500 to $580,000, median $359,000; 3 of 7 have been on the market over 60 days (median 30 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 1955 and 2000 (median 1990); none of the 5 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 36 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 Laguna Beach Estates listings →
At Laguna Beach Estates’s $510,000 median and Bay County’s adopted 12.28 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $6,260 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $5,780 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 $406,950 against the $510,000 recorded sold median (-20%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. Demand check: 0% of Laguna Beach Estates’s listings are under contract, against 14% for ZIP 32407 and 17% for Bay County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Momentum’s market-heat index for Laguna Beach Estates reads 47/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Asking prices here currently sit -20% under the recorded sold median — sellers are pricing to move, and the closed record above is the number a buyer's appraiser will see.
