As of September 2026, Seaside 01 in Santa Rosa Beach, FL has 2 homes for sale. Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 4 recorded sales closed at a median of $2,800,000, a median 167 days on market, sellers accepting 95% of original asking (-3% versus the prior year). Homes listed or recently sold were built 1984–2021. At the median price and Walton County's FY2025-26 rate of 9.758 mills, annual property tax runs about $27,320 ($26,940 with the full homestead exemption).
Price in SEASIDE 01 is driven by scarcity and condition, not by any published range. With a median around $2,800,000 and just one active listing, this is a thin, individualized market where each home trades on its own merits — location within the community, build quality, and how it presents. Treat the median as a reference point, not a ceiling or a floor; the spread here is wide and condition-dependent.
The current posture favors patience on both sides. Days on market sit near 167.5, and the year-over-year change is down 3.4%, so this is not a market where speed wins. Buyers have room to underwrite carefully and negotiate. Sellers need realistic pricing and staying power, because a mispriced home will sit.
Seaside right now
🟡 Balanced market. 6.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Emerald Coast MLS records, as of September 12, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 4 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($2.80M) is down 3.4% from the prior 12 months ($2.90M). With about 2 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Emerald Coast MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 12. Confidence: Low (4 and 3 sales in the two windows).
What's unique here: the median sale price is about 4x the typical Walton County sale ($2.80M vs $680K, trailing 12 months, Emerald Coast MLS records).

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending September 12 of each year, from record-level Emerald Coast MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($2.80M) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($2.90M) IS the -3.4% one-year change.
Windows contain 0 to 4 sales each (4 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings.

The Seaside buying strategy.
If we were buying in Seaside 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 Seaside.
A thin market that rewards patience
The numbers here are small on purpose: 4 recent closings and one home currently listed. That means comparable sales are limited, and a single unusual transaction can move the perceived median. Anyone pricing a home or writing an offer should look at each comp individually rather than leaning on averages, because there simply isn't enough volume to smooth out the noise.
With a median days on market near 167.5 and prices off 3.4% year over year, time is a real cost here. Our current MLS data identifies no dedicated community amenities to lean on, so value is anchored in the home itself and the setting — not shared facilities. That puts the burden on condition, presentation, and disciplined pricing.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Seaside. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

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 (5.2). Basis: Recent Direction -3.4% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 6.0 months of supply; Pricing Power 94.9% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
