The Empress is a small, price-heavy pocket in Miramar Beach with a median just over $1.6M. With no shared amenities surfacing from current MLS listings, price here is driven by the individual unit — location within the building, floor, views, condition, and finish level — rather than by any community package. Expect a wide spread around that median depending on what a specific listing offers.
Posture matters: with a median days-on-market of 188, listings here sit. Four active listings against just three closings in the recent window tells you this is a patient, thinly traded market. Sellers should price to the reality that buyers have time; buyers have room to be selective and should not feel rushed.
Empress (the) right now
🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 18.0 months of supply and 25% 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 Emerald Coast MLS records, as of September 20, 2026. Confidence: Medium (4 active and pending listings, 2 closed sales in 12 months).

The 60-Second Overview
The Empress is a high-price, low-volume enclave in Miramar Beach where individual unit quality — not a community amenity set — sets value, and listings tend to move slowly.
Emerald Coast MLS sales records identify 17 homes in EMPRESS (THE) that have changed hands since 2001, built between 1998 and 1999 (median 1998), with a median living area of about 2,675 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 3-bath layout; 100% are condominiums. Source: Emerald Coast MLS closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.
County records show 4 qualified sales in EMPRESS (THE) across 2024–2025 (3 in 2024, 1 in 2025), median $3.20M — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

The Empress (the) buying strategy.
If we were buying in Empress (the) 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.
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.
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 Empress (the).
A thin, patient market at a high price point
With four active listings and three closings in the recent window, The Empress trades in very small numbers. That thinness cuts both ways: a single sale can move perceived value, and there is little comparable inventory to anchor a price. At a median of $1,625,000, each transaction is consequential, and each listing deserves individual underwriting rather than reliance on neighborhood averages.
The 188-day median days-on-market is the number to respect. Homes here are not clearing quickly, so pricing, condition, and presentation carry real weight. Because no community amenities were identified from current listings, the value story rests entirely on the unit itself — what you see in a given property is what you are paying for.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Empress (the). The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this thin and this slow-moving, the average matters less than the individual listing. We underwrite each unit on its own merits — floor, view, condition, finish — and price against a long days-on-market reality instead of hope. Whether you are buying or selling at this level, we will tell you plainly when a specific unit is or is not worth its ask.
