Data as of September 20, 2026. Listing data provided by the Emerald Coast Association of REALTORS®. Information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed by the MLS to be accurate; housing-stock figures from Florida Department of Revenue public records. Market figures describe homes, not residents.

BellaMar at Gulf Place sits at the high end of the Santa Rosa Beach market, with a median price around $3,050,000. That number is driven by location and the caliber of the individual homes far more than by any shared community offering — current MLS listings show no identifiable amenities here, so what you are paying for is the address and the house itself.
The market posture is thin and slow-moving. With no active listings at the moment and only three closings in the recent window, this is a low-volume corner of the coast. A median of 201 days on market tells you buyers here take their time and homes are not trading quickly. The 52.5% year-over-year change reads big, but on a handful of closings it reflects the mix of what sold, not a broad price surge you can lean on.

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($1.98M) is down 10.2% from the prior 12 months ($2.20M). With about 3 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Emerald Coast MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 20. Confidence: Low (5 and 5 sales in the two windows).
What's unique here: the median sale price is about 5x the typical Walton County sale ($1.98M vs $400K, trailing 12 months, Emerald Coast MLS records).

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending September 20 of each year, from record-level Emerald Coast MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($1.98M) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($2.20M) IS the -10.2% one-year change.

The BellaMar at Gulf Place buying strategy.
If we were buying in BellaMar at Gulf Place today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
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.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
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 BellaMar at Gulf Place.
A thin-inventory luxury pocket
With zero active listings and three closings in the measured window, BellaMar at Gulf Place trades on scarcity. Pricing is condition- and property-driven, with a wide practical spread you cannot read off the median alone. The $3,050,000 median anchors expectations, but each home stands largely on its own merits — build quality, proximity to the Gulf, and finish level do the heavy lifting.
The 201-day median days on market matters here. In a low-volume, high-price segment, listings can sit while the right buyer surfaces. That cuts both ways: sellers need patience and correct pricing out of the gate, and buyers who show up ready and specific are negotiating in a market without a crowd behind them.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in BellaMar at Gulf Place. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
