Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $406,000, a median 49 days on market, sellers accepting 97% of original asking. Homes listed or recently sold were built 1994–1995; 1 of the 3 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 10 ft). At the median price and Okaloosa County's FY2025-26 rate of 12.89 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,240 ($4,730 with the full homestead exemption).
Parish Pines is a small, established pocket in Mary Esther — about 105 homes built across a long stretch, from 1980 to 2023, with the median home dating to the mid-1990s. That build range is the story here: price is driven far more by condition and updates than by any single spec. A renovated home and a dated original in the same neighborhood can sit worlds apart, so read each listing on its own merits rather than the community average.
Inventory is effectively nonexistent right now, with a single active listing and only a couple of closings in the recent window. That thin supply gives sellers of well-prepared homes leverage, but it also means comps are scarce and each sale carries outsized weight in setting the next one. Buyers should be ready to move on the right home and to lean on condition-adjusted analysis rather than headline numbers.
Figures in this note are as of July 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

The Parish Pines buying strategy.
If we were buying in Parish Pines 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 Parish Pines.
Condition, not vintage, sets the number
With a build range spanning more than four decades and a median year built in the mid-1990s, Parish Pines rewards buyers who inspect carefully. Roofs, systems, and finishes vary widely home to home, and that variation — not lot size or floor plan alone — is what moves value. The generous median footprint of about 2,720 square feet means there is often room to renovate and add value, but it also means carrying costs and update budgets scale with the square footage.
The high homestead share points to a neighborhood held by long-term owners rather than churned by investors. That tends to translate into homes that come to market less frequently and, often, with deferred-maintenance or dated-finish questions on the older stock. Price the work honestly on both sides of the table and the deals pencil; ignore it and you overpay or over-list.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Parish Pines. 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 this wide on condition, the value is in the analysis, not the average. We underwrite each Parish Pines home on its own merits — build year, updates, and footprint — so you are not overpaying for cosmetics or underpricing a solid home. With a single active listing and a short closings window, timing and comp interpretation matter, and that is where local read beats a generic estimate.

What it really costs to own in Parish PinesHomes for Sale
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 $3,929/yr across 3 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-10-20). |
|---|---|
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Okaloosa County is $2,644/yr (1,101 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. |
| Roof and age | Median build year 1995 across 3 listings. An original roof here would be about 31 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. |
