About this data: sources, method and limits

Recorded sales. Florida Department of Revenue Sale Data File and property roll for Walton County (2026P roll, posted Jul 27, 2026); parcel locations from Walton County GIS. Kept: qualified (arm's-length) sales, codes 01 and 02; improved single-family, mobile-home and condo parcels; price of $20,000 or more. Other transfers (family transfers, foreclosure and bank sales, multi-parcel deals, vacant land) are left out because they do not reflect the open market. 91% of sales have an exact date; the rest are known only to the month and are placed mid-month. Our records start Jan 4, 2021 and end Jun 23, 2026; the state publishes a few times a year, and the county's next file is due in the fall. The latest 60 days (after Apr 24, 2026) are marked as possibly incomplete because a sale can reach the state's file weeks or months after it closes. Measured: the 2025 Final file counted 321 sales in its newest 6 months and the later 2026 Preliminary file counts 579 for the same months (+80%). Owner names are never shown.

How the headline is worked out. Median price, homes sold and price per square foot are worked out from these recorded sales only, for the time range, neighborhood and map area you have picked. Each is compared with the same length of time just before it. With fewer than 10 sales in the period, the median is replaced by “Limited data”; a change is shown only when both periods have at least 10 sales and our records cover the whole earlier period (so the 1-year range has no comparison yet). Price per square foot uses the adjusted area on the property roll and skips homes smaller than 300 sq ft. Adjusted area is the county's weighted size of everything built on the parcel: heated rooms count in full, and a garage, porch or other unheated space counts in part. It is usually larger than the heated living area a listing quotes. The price filter changes the dots on the map, not the figures. The pulse and the “what stands out” cards are written by rules from those same numbers, not by AI, and describe what already happened.

Neighborhoods. Subdivision names read from each parcel's legal description; pods of one community merged; outlines drawn around the parcels carrying the name. Not official boundaries. 66% of the 8,244 sales fall in a neighborhood with at least 12 sales; the rest are in smaller subdivisions or on land described by boundaries rather than a plat. The county publishes no subdivision boundary layer, so the outlines are drawn around the parcels that carry each name and are approximate.

Listing market. Days on market and months of supply are from Redfin Data Center, latest period May 31, 2026 (all residential property types; county figures are monthly, ZIP figures are rolling 3-month windows). Redfin only counts homes listed through agents and MLS, its figures for a small ZIP can swing from month to month, and they do not change with the map.
