Sections of Longwood in the MLS
Longwood in Shalimar, FL is recorded as 3 separate subdivisions/phases in the MLS; 1 home is for sale across them today. Each section has its own page:
Last 30 days in Longwood: 1 new listing (median asking $699,900). As of July 25, 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.
Price here is driven by condition and lot, not by any single template. The homes span construction from 1950 to 2020, with a median build year of 1964, so what you're really buying is a specific structure's updates and bones. A renovated mid-century home and a tired original one on comparable lots can sit far apart, and that spread is the story of Longwood pricing more than any headline figure.
The market posture is thin. One active listing against 128 homes and a single recent closing means inventory is scarce and comparables are limited. For a buyer, that argues for patience and a willingness to move when the right home surfaces. For a seller, low supply is leverage, but with few recent trades to anchor value, pricing needs careful, condition-based support rather than guesswork.
Figures in this note are as of July 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Longwood is a small, established pocket in Shalimar with roughly 128 homes and a median size just over 2,600 square feet. The housing stock leans older but ranges widely in age, so the value question is almost always about a given home's condition and what's been updated.
Emerald Coast MLS sales records identify 24 homes in LONGWOOD that have changed hands since 2005, built between 1950 and 2026 (median 1972), with a median living area of about 2,167 sq ft and a typical 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes.

The Longwood buying strategy.
If we were buying in Longwood 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 Longwood.
An established Shalimar pocket
With a median year built of 1964 and construction running from 1950 to 2020, this is a mature neighborhood where lots and layouts were set decades ago and infill has filled in over time. Median living area sits above 2,600 square feet, which points to substantial homes rather than starter-scale footprints. Expect variety wall to wall: original mid-century houses next to gut renovations and the occasional newer build.
Owner-occupancy runs high here, with a homestead share around 77 percent, which tends to correlate with long-held homes and slower turnover. No community amenities show up in current MLS listings, so this is a location-and-house play, not an amenity package. That suits buyers who value the setting and the individual home over shared facilities.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Longwood. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a neighborhood this thin on inventory and recent sales, the hard part is valuation. We underwrite each home on condition, systems, and lot rather than leaning on scarce comps, and we know how to time an offer when a listing this rare comes to market. Whether you're pricing an established home to sell or trying to read whether an asking price is fair, we ground it in the specifics of the property.
