🏡 PENSACOLA AREA HOUSING MARKET UPDATE 🏡

Here's a quick look at what happened in our local market over the last 30 days:

✅ Homes Sold: 835
✅ Median Sales Price: $319,900
✅ Average Days on Market: 74
✅ FHA 30-Year Fixed Rate: 7.24%

So what does that mean? 👇

🔑 FOR BUYERS:
More homes sold than last month AND this time last year. Prices dipped a little, so you may have more room to negotiate than you did over the summer. Rates are back over 7%, so before you assume you're priced out, talk with your lender about different loan options, a rate buydown, or asking the seller to help with closing costs.

🏠 FOR SELLERS:
Buyers are still out there! Sales are up from last year, and homes are selling a little faster than they were a year ago. Prices have softened slightly, so pricing it right matters more than ever. Homes at market value are moving. Overpriced ones sit. Offering a rate buydown or closing cost help can make your home stand out.

💭 MY TAKE:
Activity is picking up while prices level off. Rising rates are still the biggest thing to watch, but well priced homes are selling. If you're waiting for a big shift before making a move, I wouldn't hold your breath.

📊🏠 Pensacola Area Housing Market Update 🏠📊

Here's a quick look at what's happening in our local market:

🏠 Homes Sold: 793
💰 Median sales price: $325,000
📅 Average days on market: 71 days
📈 Current FHA 30-Year Fixed Rate: 6.87%

So what does that mean?

For Buyers:
Fewer homes sold last month, but the ones that did move went faster than they did a year ago. Homes that are priced correctly are still getting snapped up. Rates have crept back up, so it's worth talking to your lender about FHA options or a buydown before you assume you're priced out.

For Sellers:
Homes are selling a bit quicker than they were a year ago, which is a good sign, but prices have held steady rather than climbing. The word is still "priced right" . Homes at market value move fast, overpriced ones sit.

My Take:
Steady market, not a wild one in either direction. Rising rates are the biggest thing to watch, but well priced homes still aren't sitting long. If you're waiting for a big shift before making a move, I wouldn't hold your breath.

📊 Pensacola Area Housing Market Update 📊

Here's a quick look at what's happening in our local market:

🏡 Homes Sold: 924
💰 Median sales price: $325,000
📅 Average days on market: 70 days
📉 Current FHA 30-Year Fixed Rate: 5.875%

So what does that mean?

For Buyers:
You're seeing more opportunities than we've had in a while. Homes are taking a little longer to sell, which means you have more time to make a decision and more room to negotiate. Seller concessions are becoming more common, helping buyers lower their upfront costs.

For Sellers:
Buyers are still out there, but pricing your home correctly is more important than ever. The homes that are selling are the ones that are priced competitively and show well. Overpricing usually leads to longer days on market and price reductions.

My Take:
This isn't a bad market... it's just a more balanced one. Buyers have more leverage than they did a couple of years ago, and sellers who adjust to today's market are still getting great results. Strategy matters a lot more now than simply putting a sign in the yard.

📍 PENSACOLA & PACE MARKET STATISTICS
JULY 2026

🏡 THE MARKET IN ONE SENTENCE
Inventory continues to grow, giving buyers more options to choose from while well-priced homes are still selling.

JULY's NUMBERS:

🏠 Homes Sold- 975

💰 Median Sale Price- $339,400

📅 Average Days on Market- 73 days

📈 New Listings- 1290

🗝️ Months of Inventory- 5.1 Months (Balanced Market)

🤝 Average Seller Concessions- $10,000

📈 Current Interest Rates- 5.75% for FHA 30 year fixed.

_____________________________________________

WHAT DO THESE NUMBERS MEAN?

FOR BUYERS:
This market has continued to shift more leverage into the hands of buyers.
They now have more inventory to choose from, have more opportunities to negotiate a better deal, with a majority of sellers paying for their buyer's closing costs!

FOR SELLERS:
Pricing correctly matters NOW more than ever.

With inventory continuing to rise, buyers have more options and are becoming more selective. Homes that are priced competitively and positioned well are still attracting attention, while overpriced homes are sitting longer and often requiring price reductions later.

_____________________________________________

MY TAKE:
The market isn't slowing down, it's becoming more BALANCED.

While buyer's do have more breathing room, well-priced homes are still selling just as fast as before.
