Late April flips into May this week, and the coast is feeling it. Snowbird season is mostly over for the regulars. The summer crowd is showing up early. Boat traffic at Indian Pass is picking up, and Memorial Day weekend is only three weeks out. The market noticed.

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.

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…

Spring Is Stirring on the Forgotten Coast

There is a particular quality to late March on the Forgotten Coast that is hard to put into words and impossible to fake. The light changes. The water shifts from its winter pewter to something closer to jade. Gulf breezes show up warmer than they have any right to be for this time of year, and the streets in Port St. Joe start to fill with people who look like they are exactly where they want to be. That feeling is real. And this week, the market reflected some of it.

For the week of March 23 through March 29, 2026, the Forgotten Coast posted 15 residential closings across all four major areas, with 17 additional homes under contract…

Forgotten Coast Real Estate Market Report
March 16–22, 2026

Published March 23, 2026  ·  By BJ Smiley, Port Realty Group

March is doing what March always does down here, teasing spring without fully committing to it. The light changes first. That particular gold that settles over the Gulf in the late afternoon starts arriving a little earlier, and you can feel something shift in the air. People are driving slower on Cape San Blas Road. A few more trucks are parked at the boat ramp. And if you've been watching the market the way we have, you can feel a similar kind of energy starting to stir there too.

The week of March 16–22 brought 11 residential closings across the Forgotten Coast, Port St. Joe, Cape San Blas, St. Joe Beach, Mexico…

Forgotten Coast Real Estate Market Report  |  March 9–15, 2026

Weekly residential & land market update • Port St. Joe • Cape San Blas • Mexico Beach • St. Joe Beach • St. George Island

Spring is starting to stir on the Forgotten Coast, and the market is moving with it. Quietly and selectively, but moving. The week of March 9 through 15 brought ten residential sales and four land closings across the coast, with activity spread wider than you might expect given the broader inventory picture. More telling than the sales count this week is what is sitting under contract: eleven residential properties and four land parcels have buyers locked in and heading toward the closing table. That pipeline matters.

Forgotten Coast Real Estate Market Report

March 2 – March 8, 2026

Some weeks along the Forgotten Coast feel busy. Boats returning to the marina, porch lights glowing a little later in the evening, visitors lingering just a bit longer after sunset.

Other weeks move quietly… like the tide slipping in while nobody is looking.

This past week felt a little like that.

The market is still active, but it's moving with a deliberate pace as we ease toward spring along the coast.

Across the Forgotten Coast there are currently 568 residential properties on the market, and five homes closed during the week of March 2 through March 8.

Sale prices ranged from roughly $270,000 up to $2.4 million, with an overall average around $725,000.

Homes are…
