Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
DeFuniak Springs home prices in this rolling three-month view are up compared to a year ago, with typical values rising about 10 percent. At the same time, the median list price climbed nearly 12 percent year over year. Buyer activity strengthened as homes sold increased more than 58 percent and pending sales more than doubled from last year.
Inventory has expanded sharply, giving buyers more options even as demand grows. Active listings are up about 122 percent year over year, and new listings have surged more than 220 percent. With months of supply rising to about 5.9 and more properties on the market, conditions are shifting closer to balance between buyers and sellers.
Recent selling patterns show homes moving faster and pricing tightening. The median days on market dropped from 96 days a year ago to about 53 days in the latest three-month period, while the average sale-to-list ratio has edged up to just over 97 percent. Only a small share of homes are selling above their list price now, and roughly a quarter go under contract within two weeks, indicating that well-priced homes still draw quick interest. In this evolving environment, both buyers and sellers in DeFuniak Springs can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a real estate agent who understands these trends.
DeFuniak Springs offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with historic charm, abundant outdoor recreation, convenient local amenities, and an engaging calendar of events that foster connection and a high quality of life.
DeFuniak Springs stands apart from nearby coastal destinations like Destin and Fort Walton Beach with its historic small-town character, iconic perfectly round spring-fed lake, and slower pace that still keeps you close to major routes like I‑10 and US‑331. The historic downtown district surrounds Lake DeFuniak, creating a walkable core with period architecture, local shops, and community events throughout the year.
Residents value the strong sense of identity here. Families appreciate access to schools such as Walton High School and community resources like the Walton-DeFuniak Library, one of the oldest in the state. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy fishing, kayaking, and picnicking around the lake, as well as quick drives to Eglin Air Force Base or the beaches of nearby Panama City Beach for weekend outings.
Housing in DeFuniak Springs ranges from historic homes around the lake to newer developments closer to the highway corridors, which appeal to commuters and remote workers alike. As demand along the Gulf Coast grows, timing and preparation have become increasingly important for both buyers and sellers.
Whether you are a long-time resident considering your next move or relocating to the area for work or lifestyle, having the right local real estate agent can make all the difference. Agent Pronto connects you with an agent who understands DeFuniak Springs, helping buyers compete effectively and helping sellers position their homes strategically in today’s market.

“Nancy is knowledgeable, sweet, courteous, helpful, personable, and fun! We love her and cannot recommend her enough! We moved from another state and she made the process painless. Thank you again Nancy!!!!! - Bryan and Sharra”
“Mike is really good to work with. He is articulate, knowledgable, helpful, communicative and willing to help you even move!! I ve dealt with several realtors from Oklahoma to NC - Florida and hands down Mike is the best amongst them all. I ve gone to homes and had realtors literally allow me to look around and it was like I was dojng the showing and they were just collecting their commission if they happen to see me buy one. Mike isnt that way at all. He’ll ask what you think and give constructive feedback. Skip all the big name realty places and reach out to Mike!!”
“Bill has helped me purchase a home and sold one for me. It doesn't stop there with him!! He has been truly amazing answering all the hundreds of questions I have had through both processes!! You cannot go wrong with Bill!”
“I honestly cannot recommend our real estate agent enough. From the very beginning until well after closing, she went above and beyond for us in every possible way. As a military family, We were moving across the country to Florida, which made buying a home much more complicated and stressful. She wasn’t simply our real estate agent she became the person we knew we could count on. She was always available, incredibly patient, honest, responsive, and truly cared about finding the right home for our family, not just making a sale. She helped us through every step of the process, answered countless questions, handled problems when they came up, and did things for us that were far beyond what we ever expected from a real estate agent. Even after we closed and received the keys, she continued to be there for us whenever we needed help or advice. Thanks to her, we found a home that we absolutely love. What makes her special is that she genuinely cares about the people she works with. You never feel like you’re just another client or another transaction. She treats you like someone she truly wants to help. If you’re looking for a real estate agent in the Fort Walton Beach area, I would recommend her without hesitation. We would choose her again a thousand times over. She deserves every bit of success that comes her way. Thank you for everything you did for our family. We will never forget it.”
“Angela was nothing but the best always answer my question in time and helped my family move into our first house without any problems would highly recommend!”
“Selling our condo was a much smoother experience than I expected, and I truly have Larry to thank for that. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly professional. Night or Day, weekday or weekend Larry answered the phone and communicated actively any information about the process to us. A true professional. He guided us through every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and always made us feel confident in the decisions we were making. What impressed me most was his negotiation skills. Larry advocated for our best interests every step of the way and worked hard to secure the best possible outcome. We always felt like he had our back and never settled for less than what our home was worth. If you’re looking for an agent who is honest, strategic, communicative, and genuinely invested in their clients, we can’t recommend Larry Lazar highly enough. Selling a home can be stressful, but he made the entire process seamless. We would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.”
“Tim has done a great job and helped me purchase and sell two properties. His team is very helpful and he also gives very candid feedback about the market and home conditions”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Gabriel. What sets him apart is his absolute expertise on the area-he knows every neighborhood, the local amenities, and the homes inside and out. Instead of just showing us properties, he listened to our needs and guided us to a place that wasn't just a house, but a home. Gabriel is extremely detail oriented, and he even went out of his way to go over the contract with us in depth making sure all of our questions were answered. He was a voice of calm when we needed, and he made what was a stressful situation for us seamless and smooth. He provided phenomenal service and we enthusiastically give him 10 stars out of ten. Thank you Gabriel!”
“Jessica is an amazing Realtor. She truly cares about the people she works with and goes above and beyond to make her clients transition a smooth one. We just loved working with her and will definitely work with her again. She is great for vacation homes too both in the Smokies and Panama City Beach FL. Her knowledge of short term rentals helped us tremendously.”
“Kimberly was amazing to work with from start to finish. Kimberly had everything planned out and could accommodate our schedule. We are from out of state so that was very important for us. Kimberly did a amazing final walk through for the closing being we did a out of state closing. Highly recommend Kimberly for anyone's realtor needs. Thank you, Scott G”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Dawn Johnson! From the very beginning, she provided expert guidance on pricing our home perfectly to attract serious buyers while maximizing our return. Her advice on prepping the house for sale was spot-on — she helped us highlight its best features and make it shine, which made all the difference. The listing she created was outstanding, and the professional photos were absolutely stunning — they really captured the warmth and appeal of our home. Thanks to her strategic marketing and expertise, our house sold quickly and for an excellent price! Dawn Johnson is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her clients. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home. She made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and successful. Five stars all the way!”
“Rob was an absolute GAME CHANGER for me! I could not have been more excited to buy my first home, but pretty rapidly I started getting a bit overwhelmed by the amount of moving parts and pieces buying a home really had. And he helped break it down to be more digestible for me, he was very proactive and went far above my expectations. I have already talked about with peers and family, that if you're ever needing a real estate agent, Rob Logue is the man you need!”
“We’ve been really blessed to work with Amy Wise and her fabulous Wise Group. They helped us sell three homes for our family, and through the whole process they were honest, hardworking, and always looking out for our best interest. Selling houses can be stressful, but they made it feel simple and kept us informed every step of the way. You can tell they care about people and carry strong Christian values in how they do their work. We’re truly grateful and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing to work with! She is on top of her business more than any agent I've ever worked with. She is incredibly knowledgeable and responsive. Melissa helped me every step of the way including offering recommendations for any and all other service providers I might need. She was always willing to help even after the close of the house which was incredibly kind. Being an out of state investor, she made the process as easy and seamless as possible without ever even visiting the property. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone and especially out of state investors who aren't able to physically visit the area!”
“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Rima Cole during our recent home purchase, and we truly can’t recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, she was amazing to work with: professional, patient, and completely in tune with what we were looking for. Rima took the time to really listen to us. She never pressured us and always gave us space to think things through. She was incredibly fast to respond anytime we had questions or needed clarification, even with us being out of state for most of the process. She was also extremely knowledgeable about the buying process and guided us through every step. She pointed out things we never would have thought of and ensured we didn’t leave anything out. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was looking out for our best interests. Rima is also very familiar with local processes and customs. Since we were relocating from another part of the country, she clearly explained things that may be handled differently in other states. Her experience and communication made a huge difference in helping us feel confident and informed. What impressed us most is that she found us the perfect home, one we hadn’t even put on our original list! Her instincts, knowledge of the area, and attention to detail made all the difference. Because this was a long-distance move, we had to rely on her heavily, and she absolutely delivered. We hope to have family moving down soon and will absolutely be sending them Rima’s way. Without a doubt, we’ll be calling her again for any future real estate needs. Thank you, Rima, for helping us find our new home. We couldn’t have done it without you!”
“It was great working with Jacob. His knowledge of the whole process and being totally familiar with the area was very important when making decisions. He always answered the phone when I had questions. Probably most important, his negotiating skills helped me get a great price on my new home. Hoping to work with him again soon.”
“Extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable about the housing market and what to look out for in deals and issues that could pertain to each house you look at. I would recommend Adrianna to anyone who asks she made the home buying process a breeze.”
“Kristy did an amazing job helping us find the perfect home. We moved to Florida from Iowa we had no idea how to begin our search. Kristy was patient listen to us and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. She did video tours for us when we had to fly home and was there with us every step of the way I I highly recommend Kristy she was wonderful to work with.”
“We were looking at places in St. Augustine, but we didn't think purchasing one would become a reality until we met Melvin. He listened to what we told him we were looking for in a place, and he diligently showed us places until we found one that was perfect for us. He was always super quick to respond to messages and find answers to any questions we had. His knowledge of the processes involved with purchasing property is extensive, and every contact he referred us to, whether for financing or inspections, was just as helpful and knowledgeable as he is. We have worked with several other realtors for other properties over the years, and Melvin is by far the best. Highly recommend, we can't say enough good about him.”
“Brian Barnhart was absolutely amazing to work with! From start to finish, his professionalism, expertise, and dedication exceeded all of our expectations. He took the time to understand our needs, provided valuable insights, and guided us through every step of the process with patience and care.
