PORTOFINO T/H
Homes for Sale in Shalimar, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Portofino T/H is a townhome community in Shalimar with a median around $215,000 and a median of about 1,686 square feet. What sets price here is condition and interior updates far more than location within the community, and the wide year-built range — from 1955 through 2024 — means two units with similar square footage can trade very differently depending on renovation status.
The current posture is a fast-moving market on the resale side. With a median of just 11 days on market and prices up 4.9% year over year, well-prepared listings are clearing quickly. Sellers have leverage when a unit is priced honestly against its condition; buyers should come pre-approved and ready to move, because hesitation on a clean, updated unit is how you lose it.

The 60-Second Overview
PORTOFINO T/H market snapshot (as of July 25, 2026): the median sale price is about $215K, and a median 11 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is up 5% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level emeraldcoast closed sales (3 closings in the current window).
PORTOFINO T/H is a community of 316 homes in Shalimar, Okaloosa County, built between 1955 and 2024 (median 1980.0), with a median living area of about 1,686 square feet. 53% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
This is an established townhome pocket with 316 homes and a median build year around 1980, so the housing stock skews older with a meaningful spread of updated and original units. Roughly half of the homes here carry a homestead exemption, which points to a mix of owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied use.
Who PORTOFINO T/H is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a mid-$200s townhome around 1,600–1,700 square feet who can act quickly
- Value-focused buyers willing to take on an original-condition unit and update it themselves
- Owner-occupants wanting an established Okaloosa County location over new construction and amenities
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a pool, clubhouse, or other shared community facilities
- Buyers who want a newer, uniform build and are uneasy with a 1955-to-2024 age spread
- Buyers who need a long, unhurried decision window in a market clearing in about 11 days

The PORTOFINO T/H buying strategy.
If we were buying in PORTOFINO T/H 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 PORTOFINO T/H.
Why condition is the whole story here
With a build range spanning 1955 to 2024 and a median build year around 1980, Portofino T/H is not a uniform product. That matters for pricing: the median of $215,000 is a midpoint across units that vary widely in age and update level, so treating it as a benchmark for any specific unit is a mistake. Read each listing on its own — roof, systems, kitchens, and baths will move the number more than square footage alone.
The homestead share sitting near 53% tells you this is a genuine mix of primary residences and units held for other uses. For a buyer, that means inventory can include both long-held owner-occupied homes and units that were previously rented, and the two often present in very different condition. No community amenities were identified from current MLS listings, so buy this community for the townhome itself and the Shalimar/Okaloosa location, not for shared facilities.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in PORTOFINO T/H. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in PORTOFINO T/H buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (7.1). Basis: Recent Direction +4.9% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 53% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 98.2% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
