As of September 2026, the MLS records 2 closed sales in Morris in Baker, FL since 1998, the most recent in April 2026. Across Baker as a whole, 46 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $309,000, 79 median days on market, with 8 homes for sale today. At that median and Okaloosa County's FY2025-26 rate of 12.89 mills, annual property tax runs about $3,980 ($3,480 with the full homestead exemption).
Morris is a small platted addition in Baker, up in the rural northern reach of Okaloosa County. With no active MLS inventory carrying pricing at this snapshot, there is no median to anchor to and no community amenities to lean on — so what sets value here is the individual parcel: lot size, acreage, well-and-septic condition, road frontage, and the condition of whatever structure sits on the land.
For a buyer, that means this is a due-diligence market, not a comps-driven one. You are pricing a specific property, not a subdivision. For a seller, thin visible activity cuts both ways: less to compare against, but also fewer active buyers watching, which puts a premium on realistic condition-based pricing and patience.
The 60-Second Overview
This is small-town, rural North Okaloosa County, well inland from the coast — expect land, space, and property-specific pricing rather than a uniform neighborhood market with shared amenities.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Who Morris is best for.
Best for
- Buyers prioritizing acreage and rural privacy over shared amenities

- Cash or land-savvy buyers who can price a property on its own merits
Probably not for

- Anyone wanting HOA amenities, walkability, or a turnkey subdivision feel

The Morris buying strategy.
If we were buying in Morris 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 Morris.
A parcel-by-parcel market
Baker sits at the rural end of Okaloosa County, a long way in feel and drive from the Emerald Coast beaches most buyers associate with the region. That distance is the trade: more room and lower density in exchange for a longer commute to coastal job centers and services. Morris itself carries no identified community amenities from current listings, so there is no HOA package, pool, or shared infrastructure factored into value here.
Because there is no current priced inventory in this snapshot, treat every listing that does surface on its own terms. Utilities are the first question — whether a property is on public water and sewer or on well and septic materially changes cost and diligence. Acreage, usable land, and structure condition will drive price far more than any neighborhood average.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Morris. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
Thin, property-specific markets are where local footwork matters most. With no subdivision comps or amenity story to fall back on, we underwrite the individual parcel — utilities, access, land use, and condition — and price it honestly rather than to a fictional neighborhood average. If a listing does not fit what you actually need, we will tell you.
