Sunrise Beach is a small, built-out pocket in Santa Rosa Beach — 39 homes total, all dating from a tight 1992-to-2002 window, with a median build year of 1996. At a median of roughly 2,546 living square feet, these are substantial homes, and with no newer construction to reset expectations, price here is driven almost entirely by condition and how much a given home has been updated since it went up.
The market posture is thin: one active listing and one closing in the most recent window. That is not a community with a steady flow of inventory, so comps are sparse and timing matters. Sellers hold leverage simply because so little trades; buyers should expect to move deliberately when something does come available, and to underwrite each home on its own merits rather than lean on a deep pool of recent sales.
Sunrise Beach right now
🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 12.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.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 20, 2026. Confidence: Low (1 active and pending listings, 1 closed sales in 12 months).

The 60-Second Overview
A compact enclave of 39 homes built in a single decade, Sunrise Beach trades rarely and reads as an established, low-turnover corner of Santa Rosa Beach rather than a place with constant activity.
Emerald Coast MLS sales records identify 27 homes in SUNRISE BEACH that have changed hands since 2004, built between 1992 and 2001 (median 1995), with a median living area of about 2,097 sq ft and a typical 4-bedroom, 3-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes. Source: Emerald Coast MLS closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.
County records show 5 qualified sales in SUNRISE BEACH across 2024–2024, median $2.08M — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Who Sunrise Beach is best for.
Best for
- Second-home or investment buyers comfortable with a coastal market where most homes are not owner-occupied
- Buyers seeking a larger, established floor plan and willing to budget for condition-driven updates
- Patient buyers who can wait for scarce inventory and act decisively when a home lists
Probably not for
- Buyers who require a gated, pool, or amenity-driven community
- Buyers who want newer construction or a wide menu of homes to tour at once
- Anyone needing a fast purchase in a market that trades roughly one home at a time

The Sunrise Beach buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sunrise Beach 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.
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.
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 Sunrise Beach.
A built-out enclave that turns over slowly
The defining fact here is scale and age uniformity. Every home sits in the 1992–2002 range, so you are buying into a settled streetscape with no lots left to fill and no phased new-construction to compare against. The median living area near 2,546 square feet points to real family-sized floor plans, but what you pay will hinge on whether a given home has been carried forward with updates or left closer to its original era.
No community amenities surface in the current MLS listings — no pool, gate, or shared facilities to speak of — so value lives in the houses and the location within Santa Rosa Beach, not in an amenity package. The very low homestead share, under 5 percent, tells you most of these homes are not primary residences, which is consistent with a coastal-area market where second homes and rentals dominate. That mix can mean less inventory pressure and more variation in how homes are maintained.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sunrise Beach. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a 39-home community that produces roughly one sale at a time, generic pricing models fall apart — there simply are not enough recent trades to lean on. We underwrite each home individually, weigh condition against the 1992–2002 build vintage, and set expectations honestly on how long a listing may sit or how patiently a buyer may need to wait for the right one to appear.
