VENUS (Fort Walton Beach, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 6-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 91.4% of original asking; the median sale took 115 days (window ending 2026-09-20).

The 6-year recorded price history

Over the recorded series, VENUS’s median sold price moved from $120,000 (2017) to $255,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +112% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in VENUS, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2017 at $120,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — VENUS’s median moved +79% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2022 peak of $295,000, the current median stands at -14%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 9 closings a year (10-yr average 3.1). With roughly 3.1 closings a year, VENUS’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.

The VENUS housing stock, from the live feed

From the live MLS feed as of 2026-10-01: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 1973 and 1973 (median 1973); 6 of 6 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 8 ft; the features listings here most often name are Laundry, TV Cable, Tennis Court(s), BBQ Pit/Grill, Picnic Area and Pool.

At VENUS’s $255,000 median and Okaloosa County’s adopted 12.89 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,290 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $2,780 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 Okaloosa County tax page.

Selling in VENUS right now: what the record says

Current asking prices run a median $275,000 against the $255,000 recorded sold median (+8%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 12 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of VENUS’s listings are under contract, against 27% for ZIP 32547 and 23% for Okaloosa County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information.

Asking and recorded sold prices are within a few percent of each other here, so the table above is close to what a VENUS buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.

How VENUS compares with its neighbors

Communities buyers shopping VENUS 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.
