Genoa is a small, newer-construction pocket in Miramar Beach — 61 homes, built between 2006 and 2024, with the middle of the pack dating to 2013. Price here is driven by house, not community frills: there are no amenities identified from current MLS listings, so what you're paying for is square footage, build year, and condition. At a median of about 3,567 living square feet, these are substantial homes, and the mid-seven-figure median of $1,643,750 reflects that scale more than any shared feature.
The current posture is thin and quiet. There are zero active listings against just 8 closings in the trailing window, so inventory is essentially picked over — a seller's structural advantage on availability. But the median price is down 7.7% year over year and homes are taking around 37 days to go under contract, so buyers still have room to negotiate on condition and pricing. Sellers should price to the current market, not last year's.

🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($1.64M) is down 7.7% from the prior 12 months ($1.78M). With about 4 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 emeraldcoast closed sales, 12-month windows ending July 25. Confidence: Low (8 and 4 sales in the two windows).
What's unique here: the median sale price is about 2x the typical Walton County sale ($1.64M vs $684K, trailing 12 months, emeraldcoast records).

GENOA is a community of 61 homes in Miramar Beach, Walton County, built between 2006 and 2024 (median 2013), with a median living area of about 3,567 square feet. 52% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Genoa is a compact enclave of larger, relatively recent homes in Miramar Beach's Walton County stretch, where the value proposition is the house itself rather than community extras. With just over half of homes homestead-occupied, it leans owner-lived-in rather than pure rental churn.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 25 of each year, from record-level emeraldcoast closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($1.64M) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($1.78M) IS the -7.7% one-year change.

The GENOA buying strategy.
If we were buying in GENOA 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 GENOA.
A house-driven price, not an amenity-driven one
With no shared amenities surfacing in the listings, Genoa's pricing spread comes down to the individual property — build year across an 18-year range, finish level, and living area. That matters because a median tells you the middle, not your specific home; a 2006-vintage build and a 2024 one will not trade alike, and condition is where the real negotiation happens here.
The 51.6% homestead share is worth reading carefully. It signals a community that is more than half owner-occupied rather than dominated by short-term rental turnover, which tends to mean better-kept homes and less transient wear. For a buyer weighing a primary residence against an investment play in a Gulf-adjacent market, that mix is a meaningful data point.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in GENOA. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in GENOA buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (5.4). Basis: Recent Direction -7.7% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 52% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 95.3% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community with zero active listings and only 8 recent closings, comps are scarce and every transaction moves the read. We track Genoa at the property level — build year, square footage, and condition — so you're not anchoring to a headline median that may not describe the house in front of you. With prices off 7.7% year over year, pricing and negotiation discipline is the whole game, on either side of the table.
