Aqua's numbers describe a market that is holding value rather than chasing it. The median price sits at $637,500 with no year-over-year movement, and homes are taking roughly 100 days to close — a pace that rewards patience over urgency on both sides of a transaction.

With only 8 closings in the current window, this is a thin-data community: a single high or low sale can shift the median meaningfully. Treat the price point as a directional signal, not a precise valuation, and lean on comparable-unit specifics rather than the community average when pricing or offering.

Figures in this note are as of July 28, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Aqua right now

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 36.0 months of supply and 14% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of CPAR MLS records, as of November 11, 2026. Confidence: High (14 active and pending listings, 4 closed sales in 12 months).

What's unique here: the median sale price is about 3x the typical Bay County sale ($907K vs $345K, trailing 12 months, CPAR MLS records).

The 60-Second Overview

Aqua market snapshot (as of November 11, 2026): the median sale price is about $907K, a median 11 days on market for closed sales, and 36.0 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market.

In ZIP 32413 (Panama City Beach), 262 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $499K, with a median 71 days on market. Right now 336 active and 61 pending listings put supply at about 15.4 months — a soft market. See the live ZIP 32413 housing market and the Bay County market.

CPAR sales records identify 32 homes in Aqua that have changed hands since 2007, built between 2007 and 2007 (median 2007), with a median living area of about 1,368 sq ft and a typical 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 100% are condominiums. Source: CPAR closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.

Flood zones in Aqua: of 9 listing addresses checked against the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, 100% are in a V-series coastal high-hazard zone. Individual parcels vary - verify any specific address at msc.fema.gov. See flood zones by neighborhood in Panama City Beach.

Aqua is a Panama City Beach community in Bay County where prices have climbed 63% since 2012, but the current market heat score of 25 signals a slow, buyer-patient stretch rather than competitive bidding.

Best for

  • Buyers who can move without a deadline and want negotiating room built into the timeline
  • Buyers focused on long-term hold potential who are comfortable with a flat year-over-year snapshot
  • Buyers willing to verify unit-level features and amenities directly rather than rely on community-wide claims

Probably not for

  • Buyers who need a fast close in a low-heat, 100-day-average market
  • Buyers who want a large comparable-sales pool to lean on before pricing an offer
  • Buyers who require confirmed on-site amenities as a condition of the purchase

If we were buying in Aqua today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Aqua.

Best Buy
Buyers comfortable moving on their own timeline in a market with no urgency pressure.
Biggest Risk
Only 8 closings back the current median, so the price point can swing with a single sale.
Sweet Spot
Buyers and sellers who want a data-verified price rather than a community-wide assumption.
Avoid If
You need amenity details or building features confirmed before you can commit to a search area.

A market priced on condition, not competition

A market heat score of 25 combined with a 100-day median days-on-market tells the real story here: listings are not moving on urgency, they are moving on merit. Buyers have room to inspect, negotiate, and wait for the right unit rather than compete for the first one available.

The long-run appreciation figure — up 63% since 2012 — shows this is not a community that has stalled, it is one that has simply leveled off after a sustained run. Flat year-over-year pricing at this stage reads as consolidation, not weakness. No community amenities are listed in current MLS data, so any recreational or building features should be verified unit-by-unit rather than assumed from the community name.

“

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Aqua. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

With only 8 closings feeding the current snapshot and no amenities confirmed in MLS records, this is a community where the fine print matters more than the headline number. We pull the actual comparable sales, verify what each listing does and does not include, and price against real closed data instead of a thin, easily-skewed average.

What it really costs to own in Aqua

The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.

Property taxCurrent owners' bills run a median of $6,739/yr across 20 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-11-12).
HOA duesMedian $776/month across 18 MLS listings (most billed monthly; 2026-11-12). Dues cover what the documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study.
Home and flood insuranceThe average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Bay County is $1,928/yr (1,264 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. Flood: of 9 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 0% sit outside the high-risk zone and 100% inside one, where flood insurance is required with a federally backed mortgage. Statewide, a Zone X flood policy runs about $500-$700/yr and a high-risk zone $1,200-$2,500/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not quotes).
Roof and ageMedian build year 2007 across 28 listings. An original roof here would be about 19 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails.

Estimated carrying cost at the median asking price, before the mortgage: about $1,498/month (tax $562, HOA $776, insurance $161). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote.
