How the building is trading

3 units closed at Palm Court Yacht Club in the trailing 12 months at a median of $440,000, with a 98.2% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 3 of 3 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 12.0 months of supply at the current sales pace.

Palm Court Yacht Club reads best as a building dominated by one recorded size, with a few exceptions. Thirty-eight of its 55 recorded homes share a single 1,089 square foot recorded size, so a building-wide median can mostly describe that size. The nine 1,845 square foot homes, the three at 1,370, the two at 2,110, the lone 2,235 and the two at 720 are thin groups that should be read on their own. All carry a 1999 year, so age does not separate them; size and level do. Compare like size to like size on a similar level. The common-area parcel and the 56th parcel with no record are not sales segments, so settle what the shared ground holds and which rights transfer with a home in the declaration before giving any weight to a waterfront-sounding name.

Year-over-year figures compare the 12 complete calendar months from November 2025 through October 2026 with the 12 before them. That window can differ from the trailing totals above, which run day-precise through November 1, 2026 rather than by whole calendar months.

The monthly charts cover the 24 complete calendar months from November 2024 through October 2026, and a month with no closings is a zero bar rather than a gap. Their last 12 months are the window the year-over-year figures compare.

Based on information from ECAR for the period November 2, 2021 through November 1, 2026.

The segment's daily rate, occupancy and tracked-rental count stay public on this page.

What decides whether a unit here can be rented

These are benchmarks for a segment of comparable rentals, not a finding about Palm Court Yacht Club. What a unit here may actually do is set by documents, and there are three of them. The recorded declaration sets any minimum lease term. The association's current rules can add stay-length minimums, rental caps, or owner-occupancy requirements the local code does not impose, and a board can change them after a purchase. Unincorporated Okaloosa County, not the City of Fort Walton Beach. Request all three in their current form from the association and the local government during diligence, before purchasing with rental income in mind.

Rental rules on the MLS today: 3 of 3 active listings disclose"Short Term Rental - Allowed". Always verify the association's current policy.

Where do these numbers come from?

Sale and inventory statistics are computed from ECAR MLS data by Dream Destin Realty and refreshed on a 30-day cycle. Based on information from ECAR for the period November 2, 2021 through November 1, 2026. Rental benchmarks are market-segment aggregates from Key Data - never figures for a specific unit. Neighborhood figures are LiveBy area estimates built on the U.S. Census American Community Survey.

Why is there no list of individual sold units?

3 units closed at Palm Court Yacht Club in the trailing 12 months, from $431,000 to $465,000. MLS rules do not allow individual sold listings to be displayed publicly, so this page shows building-level statistics only - ask us for the unit-by-unitsold report and we'll walk you through it.

How are thin samples handled?

Any figure computed from fewer than three sales is withheld rather than published - a one-sale "median" is just that sale's price. Counts always show; prices earn their way onto the page.

Thinking about buying or selling at Palm Court Yacht Club?

We track this building's sales and fees every month, and keep its rental rules on file - get the full picture before you commit.
