Jon's Read · written July 25, 2026

Price here is driven by proximity to the coast and by the condition and vintage of the home, not by any shared amenity package — the current listings show none identified. With a median around $1,537,500 and homes built between 2000 and 2024 (median vintage 2006), what you pay tracks how updated a property is and how close it sits to the water. Expect a wide spread and let condition, not a headline number, set your expectations.

The current posture favors patient buyers. Median days on market sits near 94 days, the heat score is a cool 28, and prices are down 14.9% year over year against a longer arc that's still up 262% since 2012. That combination — soft recent momentum, slow absorption, only 24 active listings against 52 closings in the window — means sellers should price to the current market and buyers have room to negotiate rather than chase.

Figures in this note are as of July 25, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The 60-Second Overview

Seacrest Beach market snapshot (as of November 9, 2026): the median sale price is about $1.60M, a median 76 days on market for closed sales, and 24.0 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market.

In ZIP 32461 (Rosemary Beach), 163 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $920K, with a median 53 days on market. Right now 207 active and 82 pending listings. See the live ZIP 32461 housing market and the Walton County market.

County records show 27 qualified sales in SEACREST BEACH across 2024–2025 (17 in 2024, 10 in 2025), median $1.50M — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Flood zones in Seacrest Beach: of 31 listing addresses checked against the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, 100% sit outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone X). Individual parcels vary - verify any specific address at msc.fema.gov.

Seacrest Beach is a community of 211 homes in Rosemary Beach, Walton County, built between 2000 and 2024 (median 2006.0), with a median living area of about 2,670 square feet. 6% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Seacrest Beach is a coastal enclave of roughly 460 homes in Inlet Beach, Walton County, weighted toward newer construction with a median footprint near 2,681 square feet. A homestead share under 5% tells you this is overwhelmingly a second-home and rental market, not a primary-residence one.

Best for

  • Second-home buyers with a seven-figure budget who value newer construction near the coast
  • Investors underwriting short-term rental income who can weight condition and location over amenities
  • Patient buyers willing to negotiate on a listing that has sat near the 94-day median

Probably not for

  • Buyers who need a quick, liquid resale in a market that's currently soft and slow-moving
  • Anyone seeking a shared-amenity community, since none are identified in current listings
  • Budget-conscious primary-residence buyers, given a median around $1,537,500 and a sub-5% homestead share

Buying with schools in mind? We can confirm the exact zoned schools for any Seacrest Beach address.

If we were buying in Seacrest Beach today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 Seacrest Beach.

Best Buy
Second-home and rental-income buyers who want newer coastal construction and are patient on timing.
Biggest Risk
Prices are down 14.9% year over year, so near-term direction is uncertain.
Sweet Spot
A well-kept, newer home close to the coast bought below an aggressive ask.
Avoid If
You need a fast resale or a primary-residence neighborhood with shared amenities.

A second-home market cooling from its peak

The numbers point to a market resetting after a long run-up. Values are up 262% since 2012 but off 14.9% over the past year, with days on market near 94 and a heat score of 28 — all signs the froth has come out. The homestead share below 5% confirms most of this inventory turns over as vacation property or income real estate rather than owner-occupied housing, which makes it more sensitive to travel demand and financing costs than a primary-home neighborhood would be.

With no community amenities identified in current MLS listings, buyers underwrite the individual home and its location, not a shared amenity story. Newer builds near the 2024 end of the range and well-kept homes closer to the water will command the top of the spread; dated interiors further back will sit longer. At 24 active listings against 52 recent closings, there is choice without a glut, which rewards buyers who move deliberately.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Seacrest Beach. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

In a market that's slowed to a 94-day median and softened 14.9% over the year, pricing and negotiation discipline matter more than momentum. We ground every recommendation in the current snapshot — condition, vintage, and location relative to the coast — so sellers list at a number the market will actually meet and buyers know where there's real room. No hype, no guesswork about where values 'should' go.

What it really costs to own in Seacrest Beach

The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.

Property taxCurrent owners' bills run a median of $10,555/yr across 12 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-11-12).
HOA duesMedian $485/month across 14 MLS listings (most billed quarterly; 2026-11-12). Dues cover what the documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study.
Home and flood insuranceThe average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Walton County is $1,942/yr (433 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. Flood: of 31 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 100% sit outside the high-risk zone. Statewide, a Zone X flood policy runs about $500-$700/yr and a high-risk zone $1,200-$2,500/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not quotes).
Roof and ageMedian build year 2005 across 12 listings. An original roof here would be about 21 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.

Estimated carrying cost at the median asking price, before the mortgage: about $1,526/month (tax $880, HOA $485, insurance $162). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote.
