        <title>2021 Destin &amp; 30A Real Estate Sales Report</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



2021 Property Values Continue to Climb in Destin &amp; 30A


2021 was an aggressive year for buying and selling real estate in Destin, the 30A and surrounding Florida Gulf Coast. Buyers were faced with high prices, a leaner choice of inventory, and bidding wars. The offers with fewest contingencies and often higher than asking price were often the winners.


Home and condo sellers in 2021 saw their property values increase beyond the norm. They often reaped the benefits of a quick sale that was close or over their asking price. They also faced the challenging prospect of finding a new place to live, in a difficult market. 


2021 brought significant increases to the Destin, Florida real estate market and surrounding Gulf Coast:




Sales Volume was up 41


The number of listings sold were up by 15


The average Sale Price went up 22







Most of the decreases were attributed to a shortage of active and new listings. 





 The following is a 2021 vs 2020 Destin &amp; 30A sales summary broken down by:




2021 Single-Family Home Sales


2021 Condo Sales


2021 Townhome Sales


2021 Beachfront Home Sales


2021 Beachfront Condo Sales




2021 Home Sales for Destin &amp; 30A

Number of Homes Sold increased by 7 in 2021. The highest numbers appeared in Miramar/Sandestin Resort (23) and Fort Walton Beach (11). This number would have been much higher if we'd seen more inventory. Houses averaged 99 of their list price. Sizes ranged from 558 square feet for a 1-story bungalow in Niceville, to 13,680 square feet for a home in Eden Parc, Santa Rosa Beach. The average size for homes sold in 2021 was 2,302 square feet overall.


Average Sale Price for single-family homes in 2021 increased by 24. All the areas were very close, with the exception of Destin (36) and Miramar/Sandestin Resort (30). That's a huge return on any investment. Actually, close to half of these sales were vacation rentals. The percent of list price to sale price was 99, a 1 increase from 2020.
