Summer Opens With a Quiet Week Across the Forgotten Coast

June arrived the way it usually does on the Forgotten Coast, with heat you can feel coming off the pavement and water so clear it almost doesn't look real. The crowds are building, the vacation rentals are turning over, and the real estate market is doing what it's been doing for several months now: moving at its own deliberate pace. Eight homes closed last week. The buyers who pulled the trigger found everything from a $292,000 entry-level in Port St. Joe to a $1.285 million estate on St. George Island. The spread tells the story.

Inventory held steady at 604 active residential listings coast-wide, and with only 8 homes closed during the week, supply remains elevated at 17.4 months. That…

St. George Island Closes Out May With the Week's Strongest Numbers

Memorial Day weekend came and went on the Forgotten Coast the way it always does with boats on the bay, kids on the beach, and that particular flavor of busy that makes the locals simultaneously proud and a little tired. By Sunday night, the causeways were clearing and the data was telling its own story. The final week of May wrapped with 16 residential closings coast-wide and 10 land transactions, a week that, on the surface, looks like a steady market humming along. The numbers underneath are a little more interesting than that.

Memorial Day Breaks the Market Loose on the Forgotten Coast

Memorial Day weekend has a way of breaking the market loose. People spend a long weekend down here, walk the beach at Cape San Blas, eat a few good meals, and somewhere between the sunset and the drive home the conversation shifts from "wouldn't it be nice" to "let's actually look." This week's numbers reflect exactly that kind of energy. Eighteen homes closed across the Forgotten Coast in a single seven-day stretch, and the pipeline of buyers under contract is holding strong at 22. The coast is open for the season, and the market knows it.

Forgotten Coast Real Estate Market Report — May 11–17, 2026

May has a way of changing the feel of the Forgotten Coast. The snowbirds are wrapping things up, the summer crowd is a few weeks out, and this in-between stretch tends to reveal exactly where the real market stands. No seasonal noise. No end-of-year scrambles. Just buyers and sellers moving when the numbers make sense.

This week, 11 residential homes closed across the coast, and the spread in what sold tells a clear story about who is buying and where. Cape San Blas carried the luxury side of the ledger with five closings averaging just under $1.9 million. St. Joe Beach and Mexico Beach answered with five more at a much more attainable average of $473,000. Inventory is deep at 598 active…

Forgotten Coast Real Estate Market Report | May 4 – 10, 2026 | Port Realty Group

Posted by Billy Joe Smiley on May 11th, 2026

Mother's Day weekend slowed the coast down, which is typical for this stretch of May. Real estate goes quieter when families are together. The week behind us posted the lightest closing pace of the spring. The week ahead looks different. Twenty-one homes are under contract, the most we have logged in months.

Forgotten Coast Real Estate Market Report | April 13 – April 19, 2026

Week ending April 19, 2026

April has a way of announcing itself around here. The Gulf turns that particular shade of green you only get when the sand warms up and the wind settles, the dune grass starts bending the right direction, and the beach roads fill in with rental vans and fishing poles. Spring break is wrapping, the first real swimmers are back, and every porch from the Cape to the Island is earning its keep.

The market followed suit this week. Buyers are out walking properties. Sellers are paying attention to price again. And the spread between the two is where the interesting conversations are happening.

Forgotten Coast Real Estate Market Report – April 2026 (Week of Apr 06-Apr 12)

Posted by Billy Joe Smiley on April 13th, 2026

Spring Has Arrived on the Forgotten Coast.
The Market Is Paying Attention.

There is a particular kind of Saturday morning in early April on the Forgotten Coast when the light off St. Joseph Bay looks like something you could paint and nobody would believe. The mullet are running. The osprey are back on their poles. The parking lot at Salinas Park starts filling up by eight. If you are a buyer who has been watching this market from a distance, sitting on a decision, waiting for some signal, that Saturday morning might be the closest thing to a signal you are going to get. The season is here. The inventory is full. And sellers, some of them anyway, are ready to deal.

This week's data covers the Forgotten Coast residential and land markets for the…
