How Driftwood Estates is trading
32 homes closed in Driftwood Estates in the trailing 12 months at a median of $627,500, with a 95.9% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 8 of 17 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 6.4 months of supply at the current sales pace.
One name covers two construction eras and two governance situations, and a single figure blends them. On the roll, 311 of these houses went up during the 2000s and 296 during the 2010s, with a handful from the 1980s and 1990s and 41 since 2020, so a median build year of 2012 describes almost nobody's house. Split the comparison by wave before anything else. Then split it by phase, because the association covering the original phase was administratively dissolved in 1996 and only the Phase II association is active, which changes what documents, what dues and what enforcement a buyer inherits. Two further items belong on the checklist rather than in a price: the county maps this ground over a Mixed Use future land use rather than a residential one, and every parcel records a Santa Rosa Beach mailing city, so a search anchored on the resort town next door will miss most of the inventory. Lot size does little sorting here, since the median sits near 8,227 square feet across the whole neighborhood.
Year-over-year figures compare the 12 complete calendar months from September 2025 through August 2026 with the 12 before them. That window can differ from the trailing totals above, which run day-precise through September 28, 2026 rather than by whole calendar months.

The monthly charts cover the 24 complete calendar months from September 2024 through August 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.

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 September 29, 2021 through September 28, 2026. Neighborhood figures are LiveBy area estimates built on the U.S. Census American Community Survey.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
32 homes closed in Driftwood Estates in the trailing 12 months, from $338,000 to $3,890,000. MLS rules do not allow individual sold listings to be displayed publicly, so this page shows area-level statistics only - ask us for the street-by-street sold review 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.
