Over the recorded series, Santa Rosa Shores’s median sold price moved from $190,000 (2012) to $410,000 (12 months ending 2026-07-13) — +116% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $190,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Santa Rosa Shores’s median moved +26% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2024 peak of $495,000, the current median stands at -17%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 15 to 38 closings a year (10-yr average 26.9).
Of the 59 recorded Santa Rosa Shores closings since 2024, half landed between $354,500 and $714,250 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $195,000 and the highest $2,885,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $275,000 | 5 (8%) | |
| $275,000 – $466,667 | 23 (39%) | |
| $466,667 – $658,333 | 9 (15%) | |
| $658,333 – $850,000 | 15 (25%) | |
| None and up | 7 (12%) |
The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Larger homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than smaller ones ($280 vs $228) — less common, and usually a sign of newer or upgraded product at the top of the range.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,025–1,750 sq ft | $228 | $325,000 | $195,000 – $725,000 | 19 |
| Mid-size homes 1,757–2,114 sq ft | $252 | $470,000 | $349,000 – $821,000 | 19 |
| Larger homes 2,150–4,375 sq ft | $280 | $713,500 | $300,000 – $2,885,000 | 21 |
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: 6 active listings (plus 1 pending) asking from $619,000 to $2,200,000, median $1,097,500; 2 of 6 have been on the market over 60 days (median 38 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 1959 and 2026 (median 1982), 1 of them new construction; 9 of 19 listed or recently sold homes report an HOA, median $3/mo; 4 state no HOA; 6 of 19 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sit inside a FEMA special flood hazard zone (A/V), which buyers’ lenders will price into insurance; median elevation 10 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 Santa Rosa Shores listings →
At Santa Rosa Shores’s $410,000 median and Santa Rosa County’s adopted 12.81 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,250 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,740 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 Santa Rosa County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $765,999 against the $410,000 recorded sold median (+87%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 6 months of supply at the current sales pace. Since 2004, 488 Santa Rosa Shores listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (6 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 42% of Santa Rosa Shores listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 33%. Momentum’s market-heat index for Santa Rosa Shores reads 42/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
With asking prices running +87% over the recorded sold median, a Santa Rosa Shores 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.
