The median sale price for Destin real estate is $267,000, down from $344,000 one year ago.  Note the “median” statistic may be more indicative of market trend than “average”, because “median” indicates that one-half of the sales were higher and one-half were lower. An “average” may be skewed higher due to some more expensive home sales that affected the resulting figure.

The report indicates 222 days average market time for Destin houses, condos and townhomes.  This figure is low, and does not reflect all listing periods of a single property. It only tracks the last listing period of the sold home.  If a property were listed multiple times and failed to sell during those times, that is not reflected in the figure.  Many Destin homes were listed more than once until they finally sold, or “re-listed” by the same real estate agent.
