Median days on market
Century sits at the far northern tip of Escambia County, right on the Alabama line and a world away from the beach-town bustle further south. It's a quiet, rural pocket of the Florida Panhandle where single-family homes sit on real land and the pace stays slow. Families here are zoned to Northview High School, Bratt Elementary, and Ernest Ward Middle School, keeping everyday life close to home.
The market is genuinely tiny — one active listing at the moment, priced at $95,000, so your options come and go quickly. That said, homes that do hit the market move fast: the median time to contract is just 13 days, and the one sale over the past year closed at 100% of asking. If you want more room to build, keep an eye on both just reduced listings and available land & lots in the area.
Century is in Escambia County, Florida.

Families are served by Northview High School, Bratt Elementary School, and Ernest Ward Middle School. It's a quiet corner of the Florida Panhandle rather than a resort town.
Is Century, FL expensive?+
No — it's one of the more affordable spots in the region. The current active listing is priced at $95,000, and the average works out to about $88 per square foot, a fraction of coastal Florida pricing.

The market is very small, with a median list price of $95,000 and a median home size around 1,080 square feet. Over the past year, the one home that sold closed at $114,999. Because inventory is so thin, browse the available single-family homes as soon as they appear.
How is the Century, FL housing market?+
It's a low-inventory market with just one active listing right now, so choices are limited but competition can be sharp. Homes that do list tend to move in about 13 days, and the recent sale went for 100% of asking. Setting up alerts and checking open houses this week helps you stay ahead of it.
What are HOA fees and property taxes like in Century, FL?+
