SUMMER PLACE (Santa Rosa Beach, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 7-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 96.5% of original asking; the median sale took 73 days (window ending 2026-09-20).

The 7-year recorded price history

Over the recorded series, SUMMER PLACE’s median sold price moved from $467,500 (2015) to $1,060,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +127% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in SUMMER PLACE, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2015 at $467,500. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — SUMMER PLACE’s median moved +104% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2023 peak of $1,237,500, the current median stands at -14%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 5 closings a year (10-yr average 2.8). With roughly 2.8 closings a year, SUMMER PLACE’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.

At SUMMER PLACE’s $1,060,000 median and Walton County’s adopted 9.758 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $10,340 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $9,960 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.

How SUMMER PLACE compares with its neighbors

Communities buyers shopping SUMMER PLACE are also weighing (nearest by map distance), each on its own recorded 12-month closings. A median well above the neighbors is a ceiling to price against; well below is where the value argument lives.
