Everyone wants to know how much the Emerald Coast has actually dropped in value.
I’ve seen some pretty significant price reductions myself, so I wanted to look at the actual closed sales.
I compared the same period in 2025 and 2026 for detached single family homes only across 30A / Santa Rosa Beach, Miramar Beach / Sandestin and Panama City Beach.
The numbers are interesting.
One important distinction: a home selling 20% below its original asking price doesn’t necessarily mean the market dropped 20%. Those are two different measurements.
So rather than cherry pick individual properties, here are the numbers side by side.
No prediction. Just the data.
