As of November 2026, Grove By the Sea in Santa Rosa Beach, FL has 2 homes for sale. Homes listed or recently sold were built 1996–2013; 5 of 5 report an HOA (median $245/mo); none of the 5 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 26 ft).
Price here is driven by condition, vintage, and how close a given home sits to the water, not by any community amenity package. With the median at $1,137,500 and a build range spanning 1988 to 2024, the spread between an original older home and a recent rebuild is wide, and that gap is what you are negotiating over. The single median figure tells you where the middle sits; it does not tell you what any specific house should trade for.
The market posture is thin and slow-moving. One active listing against a median of 56 days on market means sellers are not being rushed and buyers are not fighting over inventory. That favors a buyer who can be patient and picky, and it asks a seller to price to condition from day one rather than test the market.
Figures in this note are as of July 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 8.0 months of supply and 0% 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 November 9, 2026. Confidence: Low (2 active and pending listings, 0 closed sales in 12 months).

The Grove by the Sea buying strategy.
If we were buying in Grove by the Sea 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 Grove by the Sea.
A condition-driven market, not an amenity one
The homes here were built across a long window, with the median year built around 2000 and a median living area near 2,341 square feet. That means the stock ranges from decades-old construction to homes finished as recently as 2024, and two houses of similar size can be worlds apart on systems, finishes, and updates. Underwrite each property on its own merits.
A homestead share of roughly 20 percent tells you most of these homes are not primary residences. Combine that with the absence of identified community amenities and you have a place where value tracks the individual property and its proximity to the coast, not a clubhouse or gate. That is a straightforward setup, but it puts the burden on inspection and comparison.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Grove by the Sea. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With one active listing and a wide range of vintages, the hard part is judging condition against a median that blends old and new. We work the Emerald Coast every week and will walk you through what a given home's age, square footage, and location actually mean for its price, whether you are buying carefully in a slow market or pricing a sale to condition so it moves.

What it really costs to own in Grove by the Sea
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | Current owners' bills run a median of $7,880/yr across 3 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-11-12). |
|---|---|
| HOA dues | Median $245/month across 3 MLS listings (most billed quarterly; 2026-11-12). Dues cover what the documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study. |
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Walton County is $1,942/yr (433 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. |
| Roof and age | Median build year 2000 across 3 listings. An original roof here would be about 26 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. |
