Jon's Current Read

"Martin Preserve is a small, just-completed D.R. Horton single-family community in west Pensacola whose whole pitch is proximity to NAS Pensacola, about four miles and ten minutes to the base. The builder sold out within roughly a year, so this is now a resale market of 2025-vintage homes with builder warranties, a smart-home package, low HOA dues, and no CDD. The honest reads are real: lots are small and dense, the zoned high school is weak (Escambia High rates 3/10), early resales have barely appreciated, and west Pensacola carries hurricane and flood exposure that has to be priced. Buy it for the base commute, the new construction, and the low carry, not for big near-term appreciation, and confirm the flood zone and insurance on the specific lot."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Martin Preserve is a new single-family community in west Pensacola (unincorporated Escambia County, 32506), near the Blue Angel Parkway corridor and built primarily in 2025 by D.R. Horton, the nation's largest homebuilder.

It is a small community of detached one- and two-story homes on compact lots (around 0.14 acres), with three core floor plans reported from roughly 1,300 to 2,200 square feet, three to four bedrooms. Homes came with D.R. Horton's smart-home package and a builder warranty. The community sold out within roughly a single build cycle, so buyers today are entering through the resale market rather than buying new from the builder.

The carrying cost is light: HOA dues are reported around $420 to $510 a year depending on the home, and no Community Development District was found. The defining locational fact is the base: NAS Pensacola is about four miles south, roughly a ten-minute drive, which is the community's main draw for military and base-area buyers.

The trade-offs are honest. Lots are small and the layout is dense, the zoned high school is weak on current ratings, early resales have shown only modest appreciation, and as a west Pensacola location near Perdido Bay the area carries real hurricane and flood considerations that belong in the budget.

Quick Match

Who Martin Preserve is best for.

Best for

  • NAS Pensacola personnel who want a short, roughly ten-minute base commute
  • Buyers who want recent 2025 construction with a builder warranty and a low HOA
  • Buyers comfortable with a compact, dense lot in exchange for new construction and location

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want a large lot, yard space, or privacy
  • Buyers who prioritize a top-rated zoned high school
  • Buyers seeking strong near-term appreciation rather than a place to live

Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

  1. 2025
    Build-out

    Martin Preserve completes and sells out

    D.R. Horton built and sold Martin Preserve largely through 2025, with recorded sales in the spring and summer of 2025 and the community marked sold out by builder and listing sites into 2026. Why it matters: Because the builder is done here, buyers enter through resale; compare against the original 2025 sale prices to read appreciation honestly. Source

  2. 2026
    Market

    Early resale activity shows modest gains

    At least one home resold in 2026 only modestly above its 2025 new-construction price, with the broader Pensacola market softening, signaling limited near-term appreciation in this community. Why it matters: Treat Martin Preserve as a place to live near the base, not a quick-appreciation play; price to recent resale comps within the community. Source

The Strategy

The Martin Preserve buying strategy.

If we were buying in Martin Preserve, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.

1

Pull the FEMA flood zone and insurance for the exact lot. West Pensacola near Perdido Bay carries real storm exposure; get the zone and a bindable wind and flood quote before you write.

2

Comp within the community against 2025 sale prices. Homes are nearly identical 2025 builds, so read appreciation against the original sale, not against older neighborhoods.

3

Verify the school zoning, especially the high school. Confirm the assigned elementary, middle, and high school by address, and weigh that the zoned high school rates weak; check charter and choice options.

4

Confirm the HOA and warranty transfer. Verify the HOA dues (reported ~$420 to $510/yr), what they cover, and whether the builder warranty transfers to you as a resale buyer.

5

Inspect even a new home. A 2025 build still warrants an inspection of the roof, systems, and grading on a compact, dense lot.

The Quick Decision
Best Buy
A 2025-built home priced to recent in-community resale comps, with a clean flood and insurance picture and the warranty intact, bought for the base commute.
Biggest Risk
Overpaying versus a near-identical neighbor, underpricing flood and wind insurance, or expecting strong near-term appreciation.
Best Lot
Lots are small and similar; weigh which homes back to open space versus another home, and the grading and drainage on a compact lot.
Smart Timing
A softening 2026 Pensacola market gives resale buyers some room; price to in-community comps and ask for concessions.

Martin Preserve Homes For Sale

What your money buys in Martin Preserve.

The takeaway

Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.

Here are the broad resale bands in Martin Preserve today. The right home is the one matched to your budget and the renovation math, so seeing fitting listings early is the edge.

Entry: smaller single-story plans

The lower end is the smaller three-bedroom single-story plan (around 1,300 to 1,400 square feet). These sold new in the high $270,000s to high $280,000s in 2025 (public sale records, 2025) and resell near there with the warranty and smart-home package.

Lowest entry
Mid: mid-size family homes

The core is the mid-size three- and four-bedroom homes. New-construction prices ran into the $300,000s in 2025 (builder pricing, 2025); resales price to recent in-community comps in a softer market.

Most inventory
High: largest two-story plan

The top is the largest two-story four-bedroom plan (around 2,200 square feet), which sold new near $378,000 in 2025 and has resold modestly higher (public sale records, 2025-2026). Size and condition, not lot, separate these.

Renovation & Resale Intelligence

The factors that actually move value in Martin Preserve, condition, lot, and the renovation math, read from current listings and recent sales.

15-Second Take
  • Renovation math decides the deal
  • Better lots and views resell strongest
  • Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
  • Interior lots are where buyers overpay
Proprietary Data

The renovation premium.

Renovated-listing inventory in Martin Preserve is too thin right now to compute a reliable renovation premium. We read condition home by home against real comps before you offer.

Lot Value

The lot premium.

On a preferred homesite (water, preserve, corner, or a larger lot), the homesite is the part of your money the market gives back at resale. The house can be renovated; the lot cannot, so premium lots hold their value better than interior ones. How much more they command varies by frontage, view, and condition, which is why we read it home by home against real comparable sales rather than a single headline figure.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in Martin Preserve

15-Second Take
  • Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
  • Misjudging the renovation budget
  • Overpaying for an interior lot
  • Underbudgeting the carrying costs
  • Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check

The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.

Martin Preserve1

Calling the listing agent

The agent on the sign works for the seller. In a market where condition swings price by hundreds of thousands, negotiating against that agent with no one in your corner is the costliest move of all.

Martin Preserve2

Misjudging the renovation math

A dated home looks like a deal until you price the roof, HVAC, pool, and full modernization honestly. Underbudget the reno and the bargain becomes the expensive house.

Martin Preserve3

Overpaying for an interior lot

A premium homesite (water, preserve, or a preferred position) carries a real, durable premium. Pay a top price for an interior lot and you are buying the weakest version of the value.

Martin Preserve4

Underbudgeting the carrying costs

Two similar homes can cost very differently to own once the HOA, any CDD, insurance, and upkeep are priced in. Buyers who do not run the full monthly carrying cost misread the real number.

Martin Preserve5

Skipping the systems check

An older home means older systems unless updated. Roof age, HVAC age, pool equipment, and prior renovations drive both price and insurability, and a thorough inspection matters more here than in a new build.

“

Martin Preserve's value is location and newness, not the lot. The deal is won on the base commute, the flood and insurance read, and pricing to a near-identical neighbor.

Which Lots & Views Hold Value Best

Proprietary Data · Lot Value Map

Where the value actually sits. Each home is shaded by its price per square foot (a value read, not just a price) and ringed by lot type, so you can see at a glance which pockets carry a real, durable premium and where a renovation play makes sense.

Lake / waterPreserveInterior

Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from Pensacola MLS; for orientation, not an appraisal.

15-Second Take
  • Lots are small and similar; check what each backs to.
  • Read grading and drainage on a compact lot.
  • Confirm the FEMA flood zone for the specific address.

Martin Preserve's lots are compact and uniform, so the lot read is about the margins: which homes back to open space versus another house, how a small lot grades and drains, and the FEMA flood zone for the specific address in a storm-exposed part of west Pensacola. Because the homes are near-identical 2025 builds, these lot details and condition, not square footage, are what separate one home's value from the next.

The 15-Second Verdict

Martin Preserve in 15 seconds.

Best forNAS Pensacola personnel who want a short base commute in a recent build with a low HOA.
Strong onNewness and carry: 2025 construction with a builder warranty, a smart-home package, a low HOA, and no CDD.
WatchA weak zoned high school, small dense lots, modest near-term appreciation, and west Pensacola flood and wind exposure.
Not forBuyers who want a large lot or privacy, a top-rated high school, or strong quick appreciation.
The edgeNearly identical 2025 homes make comping precise, so a prepared buyer can avoid overpaying a near-twin neighbor.

HOA, CDD & Fees

15-Second Take
  • HOA reported ~$420 to $510/yr, low.
  • No CDD found, so recurring overhead is light.
  • Ask whether the builder warranty transfers to you.
  • Budget west Pensacola wind and flood insurance.
  • Compact lots keep the maintenance footprint small.

HOA dues are reported at roughly $420 to $510 a year depending on the home, with no CDD found, so the recurring overhead is low. Confirm the current dues, what they cover, and any pending assessment for the specific home, and ask whether the builder's structural warranty transfers to a resale buyer.

The HOA covers common-area maintenance in keeping with a small community; coverage is modest given the low dues. Verify the specifics for a particular home.

This is a small community without resort amenities; the value is location and new construction rather than an amenity package.

Selling in Martin Preserve

Selling in Martin Preserve? Lead with the base commute and the warranty.

Your buyer is most often base-bound and value-focused, so document the roughly ten-minute NAS commute, the 2025 build and any remaining warranty, the low HOA, and a clean flood and insurance picture, then price to recent in-community comps.

In Martin Preserve, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Martin Preserve, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Martin Preserve still selling new homes?
No. D.R. Horton built and sold out Martin Preserve within roughly one build cycle in 2025, so buyers today enter through the resale market of 2025-vintage homes rather than buying new from the builder.
How far is Martin Preserve from NAS Pensacola?
About four miles, roughly a ten-minute drive south via Blue Angel Parkway. The base commute is the community's main draw.
Does Martin Preserve have an HOA or CDD?
It has a low HOA, reported at roughly $420 to $510 a year depending on the home, and no CDD was found. Confirm the current dues and what they cover for a specific home.
Who built Martin Preserve?
D.R. Horton, the nation's largest homebuilder, built Martin Preserve in 2025, offering three core single-family plans from about 1,300 to 2,200 square feet with a smart-home package.
How much do homes in Martin Preserve cost?
New-construction homes sold from the high $270,000s to about $378,000 in 2025 (public sale records, 2025), and early resales have priced modestly higher. Confirm current pricing against recent in-community comps.
What schools serve Martin Preserve?
Martin Preserve is in the Escambia County School District, with elementary assignments commonly to Pleasant Grove or Blue Angels, Jim C. Bailey Middle, and Escambia High. The zoned high school rates weak on current ratings, so confirm the assignment by address and check charter and choice options.
Are the lots in Martin Preserve big?
No. Lots are compact, around 0.14 acres, in a dense layout. The trade-off for the location and new construction is limited yard space and privacy.
Is Martin Preserve in a flood zone?
It is a west Pensacola location near Perdido Bay, so storm and flood exposure are real and parcel-specific. Pull the FEMA flood zone and a bindable wind and flood insurance quote for the exact address before buying.
Has Martin Preserve appreciated?
Only modestly so far. Early 2026 resales sold a little above their 2025 new-construction prices in a softening market, so treat it as a place to live near the base rather than a quick-appreciation play.
Is Martin Preserve gated?
No. It is a small, open single-family community, not gated.
What should I check before buying in Martin Preserve?
Confirm the FEMA flood zone and insurance, the HOA dues and any warranty transfer, the school zoning (especially the high school), and recent in-community comps, and get an inspection even on a 2025 home.
Is Martin Preserve a good investment?
The base proximity, new construction, and low carry support steady demand, but lots are small, the high school is weak, and early appreciation has been modest in a softer market. Buy it to live near NAS, not for guaranteed appreciation.
Should I use the listing agent to buy in Martin Preserve?
No. The listing agent works for the seller. Having your own representation to comp against near-identical neighbors and read the flood and warranty picture is the highest-leverage decision you make.
