The $300,000 to $399,999 band is still the largest single slice of the market, with 28.6% of closings, and it barely moved. The two bands below $250,000 lost a few dozen sales each. The gains sat between $400,000 and $750,000, where 1,895 homes closed against 1,635 a year earlier, and at $1 million and up.
Did October follow the same pattern?
October alone was mixed. The feed closed 666 homes in October 2026 against 699 in October 2025. The $400,000 to $499,999 band rose to 91 from 81 and the $1 million and up band to 27 from 23, while the $500,000 to $749,999 band fell to 64 from 79 and the $750,000 to $999,999 band to 16 from 31. Under $200,000, October closings rose to 110 from 88. One month of 600 to 700 sales moves around more than a ten-month total, so the year to date figures are the steadier read.
For single-family homes alone, the October median sale price was $324,900, essentially unchanged from a year earlier, with a median of 42 days on market, according to the same report. Condos closed at a median of $449,500 on 54 sales, down 11.5%. Our same-home resale piece explains why the median and repeat-sale measures can disagree.
How much inventory is in each Pensacola price band?
| Price band | Active listings, Nov 13, 2026 | Months of sales at the 2026 pace |
|---|---|---|
| Under $200,000 | 257 | 2.7 |
| $200,000 to $249,999 | 162 | 2.0 |
| $250,000 to $299,999 | 293 | 2.5 |
| $300,000 to $399,999 | 650 | 3.0 |
| $400,000 to $499,999 | 344 | 3.4 |
| $500,000 to $749,999 | 346 | 3.9 |
| $750,000 to $999,999 | 156 | 4.9 |

| All bands | 2,387 | 3.1 |

Supply rises with price. Below $300,000, active listings would last two to three months at this year's sales pace. At $750,000 and up, the same measure runs five to six months, even though sales in those bands grew. Higher sales and deeper inventory can happen together when more sellers list at those prices. The report put the share of active listings with a price cut at 48.4% across the feed.
What does this mean for Pensacola buyers and sellers?
Buyers shopping between $400,000 and $750,000 are competing in the part of the market where sales grew fastest, but they also have more listings to choose from than buyers under $300,000. Sellers under $300,000 face the thinnest competing supply, about two to three months, though closings in those bands did not grow this year. Sellers at $750,000 and up should expect longer marketing times, since inventory there is roughly five to six months deep.

Limitations
Counts cover all residential property types closed through the Pensacola MLS, which is mostly Escambia and Santa Rosa counties but includes a small number of sales in nearby counties. Price bands use the final sale price. Months of sales is a simple ratio of current listings to this year's average monthly closings, not the feed's official months of supply. Figures are computed by Momentum from MLS records and are deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
