Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 4 recorded sales closed at a median of $587,500, a median 93 days on market, sellers accepting 88% of original asking. At the median price and Bay County's FY2025-26 rate of 12.28 mills, annual property tax runs about $7,210 ($6,730 with the full homestead exemption).
College Oaks prices around a $587,500 median on larger homes, with a median living area just over 3,100 square feet. That size point is doing most of the work here — this is a move-up product built mostly between 2007 and 2023, with a median build year of 2013, so buyers are paying for square footage and relatively recent construction rather than for a branded amenity package.
A median of 93 days on market is long by most standards, and with only 4 closings in the current window, pricing is thin and easily skewed by a single sale. Sellers should expect a longer marketing runway and price to condition and comparable square footage rather than to a headline number. Buyers have room to negotiate on terms and timeline, especially on listings sitting past the median.
The 60-Second Overview
College Oaks market snapshot (as of September 12, 2026): the median sale price is about $588K, and a median 93 days on market for closed sales.
College Oaks in Lynn Haven is a low-volume pocket of larger, newer-era single-family homes — the kind of community where each sale tells you more about that specific house than about the market as a whole.
Who College Oaks is best for.
Best for
- A move-up buyer who wants more square footage and is comfortable evaluating each home on its own condition rather than a community template.
- A buyer planning to occupy the home as a primary residence, consistent with the high homestead share already seen in the community.
- A seller with realistic expectations about marketing time who can price to comparable size and condition rather than a fast-turn number.
Probably not for
- A buyer who wants an HOA-run amenity package such as a pool or clubhouse — none is identified in current listings.
- An investor seeking a high-volume comp set to underwrite a quick flip or fast rental turnover.
- A buyer or seller who needs price certainty from a large recent sales sample; the current window is too small for that.
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

The College Oaks buying strategy.
If we were buying in College Oaks 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 College Oaks.
Size over staging
With only 32 homes in the community and a four-sale closing window, College Oaks does not generate the sales volume that produces tight, predictable pricing. The median year built of 2013 across a 2007–2023 range means most homes are within their first two decades, which keeps mechanical and structural condition relatively consistent, but individual finish levels and lot specifics still swing value more than they would in a larger, more homogenous subdivision.
There is no identified community amenity package in current MLS listings — no clubhouse, pool, or gated feature attached to the HOA here, at least not one showing up in the data. That means the value proposition is the house and lot themselves: square footage, layout, and land, not a shared recreation package. A homestead share above 81% also points to a community where most owners are filing for primary-residence exemption rather than holding the home as a rental or second property, which tends to support steadier upkeep at the individual-home level.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in College Oaks. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
