How Town of Santa Rosa is trading
14 homes closed in Town of Santa Rosa in the trailing 12 months at a median of $419,000, with a 96.6% median list-to-sale ratio. On the active side, 5 of 12 listings sit below original list price, and standing inventory works out to 10.3 months of supply at the current sales pace.
Price this plat on what it costs to build, not on what the lots measure. Every townsite parcel sampled sits in Zone AE, at seven or eight feet of base flood elevation, over ground the federal service reads near four, so raising a house is not an upgrade here but the entry condition, and two identical lots can carry very different construction budgets depending on what already stands. The county roll shows the second reason an average misleads: more than half the parcels under this name are vacant, and the houses that do stand hold a median near 1,225 square feet, well under what the surrounding market builds. A closing here is therefore either land or a small older house, and those are separate products that should never share a statistic. Sort the record that way, and watch the county's stormwater work, which is aimed squarely at these rights of way.
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 29, 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.
Based on information from ECAR for the period September 30, 2021 through September 29, 2026.

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 30, 2021 through September 29, 2026.
Why is there no list of individual sold homes?
14 homes closed in Town of Santa Rosa in the trailing 12 months, from $230,000 to $750,000. 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.
