As of October 2026, Wildridge in Lynn Haven, FL has 1 home for sale. Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $345,000, a median 132 days on market, sellers accepting 95% of original asking. At the median price and Bay County's FY2025-26 rate of 12.28 mills, annual property tax runs about $4,240 ($3,750 with the full homestead exemption).
Wildridge is an older-build pocket of Lynn Haven, with a median year built of 1985 inside a range that stretches from 1980 to 2020, so the housing stock spans original construction and later infill on the same streets. The other defining number is size: a median living area of just over 3,000 square feet, which pushes the median price to $339,350 even though the homes themselves aren't new.
With only four closings in the current window and 99 median days on market, this is a thin, slow-moving dataset — pricing here should be built listing by listing, not off a neighborhood average. A high homestead share, just under 90 percent, points to a market where turnover is naturally limited, which is part of why so few homes trade at any given time.
Figures in this note are as of July 28, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview

Wildridge is a community of 12 homes in Lynn Haven, Bay County, built between 1980 and 2003 (median 1982.5), with a median living area of about 2,770 square feet. 92% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Wildridge pairs larger, established homes with a small, infrequent resale pipeline, so each listing tends to set its own comp rather than follow a clear trend line.
Who Wildridge is best for.
Best for
- Buyers prioritizing larger living space over a newer build date
- Buyers comfortable with a longer sale or purchase timeline
- Buyers who plan to hold and settle in, rather than resell quickly
Probably not for
- Buyers needing move-in-ready condition guaranteed across every listing
- Buyers who require a quick close in a fast-turning market
- Investors seeking frequent inventory or a high-volume resale pipeline
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

The Wildridge buying strategy.
If we were buying in Wildridge 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 Wildridge.
Size Over Speed
The square footage is the story: a median of just over 3,000 living square feet is well above what typically drives a $339,350 median, which tells you value here is anchored in space and layout rather than newness. Construction dates running from 1980 to 2020 mean condition and updates will vary a lot from house to house, and buyers should expect to evaluate each property on its own maintenance history rather than assume a uniform build era.
The 99-day median days-on-market and a four-closing sample size are the practical realities for anyone timing a purchase or sale. This isn't a market where a home is priced and gone in weeks — sellers should plan for a longer runway, and buyers get more room to negotiate on condition and terms than they would in a faster-churning community.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Wildridge. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A four-closing window means the comps are thin and easy to misread without local context. We track what's actually moving in Wildridge, not just the median, so pricing conversations start from real listing-level detail — square footage, build era, condition — instead of a single blended number.
