The Palms (Mexico 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 94.3% of original asking; the median sale took 91 days (window ending 2026-09-20).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $312,500 | — | 91 | 94.3% | 3 |
| 2022 | $517,500 | — | 3 | 97.6% | 6 |
| 2021 | $345,000 | — | 63 | 88.4% | 3 |
| 2020 | $331,000 | — | 173 | 90.2% | 6 |
| 2016 | $229,950 | — | 242 | 91.9% | 4 |
| 2015 | $223,000 | — | 54 | 95.4% | 3 |
| 2013 | $175,000 | — | 127 | 89.9% | 3 |
Over the recorded series, The Palms’s median sold price moved from $175,000 (2013) to $312,500 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +79% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2013 at $175,000. Against the 2022 peak of $517,500, the current median stands at -40%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 6 closings a year (10-yr average 2). With roughly 2 closings a year, The Palms’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 The Palms’s $312,500 median and Bay County’s adopted 12.28 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,840 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,350 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 $457,000 against the $312,500 recorded sold median (+46%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows.
With asking prices running +46% over the recorded sold median, a The Palms 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.
