Median days on market

Bay County sits on Florida's Panhandle where the Gulf coastline shapes daily life, anchored by Panama City on the bay side and the sugar-white sand of Panama City Beach. It's a place that runs on the water and the outdoors, and the housing here reflects that mix — mostly detached single-family homes with a handful of manufactured homes rounding out the choices.

Right now the market is small and moving at a steady clip: just 11 active listings with a median list price of $269,000, and homes are going under contract in about 25 days. Sold prices over the past year land almost exactly at asking — sellers pull in 95% of list on average — so this is a market where fair pricing gets results. Buyers watching their budget can browse by price or keep an eye on what's just reduced.
