Over the recorded series, LUAU I’s median sold price moved from $140,000 (2012) to $381,000 (12 months ending 2026-07-25) — +172% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $140,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — LUAU I’s median moved +147% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2025 peak of $740,000, the current median stands at -49%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 3 to 20 closings a year (10-yr average 9.6). With roughly 9.6 closings a year, LUAU I’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.
What actually trades here: 100% condominium in the current window.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-07-25: 19 active listings (plus 0 pending) asking from $200,000 to $1,225,000, median $385,000; 14 of 19 have been on the market over 60 days (median 114 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 2006 and 2006 (median 2006); none of the 19 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 32 ft); the features listings here most often name are Exercise Room, Pool, Beach, Elevators, Gated and Golf. 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 LUAU I listings →
At LUAU I’s $381,000 median and Walton County’s adopted 9.758 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,720 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,330 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 $385,000 against the $381,000 recorded sold median (+1%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. Momentum’s market-heat index for LUAU I reads 47/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 0% of recorded LUAU I sales in the window ending 2026-07 (0 of 7) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. Asking and recorded sold prices are within a few percent of each other here, so the table above is close to what a LUAU I buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.
