True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
The Acres is a community in DeFuniak Springs, Walton County, FL (ZIP 32433). Across DeFuniak Springs as a whole, 84 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $195,000, 100 median days on market, with 36 homes for sale today. At that median and Walton County's FY2025-26 rate of 9.758 mills, annual property tax runs about $1,900 ($1,520 with the full homestead exemption).

As of this snapshot, The Acres has no listings and no recorded sales, which is what we expect for an announced subdivision that reached Walton County's Technical Review Committee and is headed to Planning Commission review. There is no price or pace to read yet because homes have not been platted or sold.
For a buyer, the first meaningful number will be builder base pricing once a builder is named and lots release, not comparable resales. For anyone watching the DeFuniak Springs / U.S. 90 corridor, this is a watch-list entry worth flagging now, while lot selection would be widest.
The 60-Second Overview
The Acres is an announced single-family subdivision proposed on about 64.6 acres on the north side of U.S. 90, east of King's Lake Road and west of DeFuniak Springs in Walton County (ZIP 32433). County filings by the developer, Norwal Development, L.L.C., describe roughly 87 lots, a clubhouse of about 2,750 square feet, and supporting infrastructure, on land that is largely former pasture with wooded areas. Earlier concepts that included a day care, office, and mini-warehouses were removed, and the plan was reduced from 104 lots to 87. The site is planned to use septic systems with public water, with a small on-site wetland to be preserved. No builder, floor plans, or pricing had been published at this snapshot, and there are no listings yet, so this page tracks the community's progress. Details should be confirmed with the developer.

The The Acres buying strategy.
If we were buying in The Acres 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 The Acres.
A Clubhouse Subdivision on U.S. 90
The detail that gives The Acres an identity beyond a raw lot count is the planned clubhouse — about 2,750 square feet — on a roughly 87-lot plan. A shared amenity of that kind is not standard on smaller DeFuniak Springs subdivisions, and it is the feature most likely to shape the community's day-to-day character once built.
The location is a value-oriented one relative to the beach communities south of Choctawhatchee Bay. Western DeFuniak Springs along U.S. 90 has historically carried lower per-lot pricing than the 30A and Freeport corridors while keeping straightforward highway access. County records note two planned driveway connections to U.S. 90 and a sandhill preservation requirement on part of the site, both of which get finalized at the detailed-plan stage.
The genuine unknowns to confirm in writing before any commitment are the builder (none named at last check), base pricing, and the HOA structure that will fund the clubhouse and common areas. Lot counts can still shift through the remainder of county review.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in The Acres. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
For an announced subdivision still moving through county review, our value is early intelligence and timing: tracking when a builder is named and when lots release so you can get on the interest list before the first homesites are chosen.
We also read the parts buyers overlook on new construction — the HOA budget that supports the clubhouse, any preservation-area or septic constraints tied to specific lots, and how any builder incentives are written once they appear — so the monthly cost you plan around is the real one.
