Market Pulse: A Snapshot of the Forgotten Coast
📈 This Week on the Forgotten Coast
Real Estate Market Recap – August 10–16, 2025
Each week, we take a look at market movement in Gulf and Franklin Counties to keep buyers and sellers in the loop.
This week’s snapshot shows nearly unchanged residential inventory alongside a slight bump in land availability. Active listings include 852 homes and 793 lots, with waterfront and RV-friendly properties still among the most in-demand. A total of 27 properties changed hands last week, highlighting steady summer activity.
💡 What This Means for Buyers & Sellers
For buyers, options remain wide-ranging. From waterfront homes (204 available) to RV-approved lots (132 ranging from $7K to $1.44M), the market offers both entry-level opportunities and premium coastal retreats. Moving quickly on properties that meet your goals is still the best strategy.
For sellers, coastal demand hasn’t cooled. Cape San Blas, Mexico Beach, and St. George Island continue to attract attention, and competitively priced listings are well-positioned to capture active buyers.
