Would you like to live with one of the most beautiful beaches in the country right in your backyard? How about in almost every direction you drive? Well, in Miramar Beach, located in Walton County, you can have that and much more…
Miramar Beach is on a peninsula on the Emerald Coast. This stretch of coastline on the Florida Panhandle sits on the Gulf of Mexico and offers some of the most beautiful “emerald” waters you will ever see in your life.
There are awesome homes in the area, it is safe, and an overall cool place to live or stay. People love it here — and that’s why its greater area gets millions of visitors each year.
Since the area gets so many visitors, it has more things to do than you probably have time for. You can rent a yacht, go on a tour of the area, go snorkeling or scuba diving, parasailing, and more.
Even better, most of its surrounding areas have just as much fun waiting to be had. Within less than 30 minutes, you can be at numerous waterparks, award-winning golf courses, sand dunes, and nature trails, or even out on a boat doing the best fishing of your life off the edge of the continental shelf.
The schools in this area are phenomenal and well-funded. There are religious schools, public schools, private schools, and more to choose from. Most are A-rated and loved by parents and students alike.
Due to the luxurious and gorgeous nature of Miramar Beach, it doesn’t come cheap — at least by Florida Panhandle’s standards. The average home costs about $700,000 as of July 2022. While this is still well under the cost of a home in a place from Seattle or San Francisco, it is pricey for the area.
There is good reason for it to be too; the area is geographically pretty small and out on a small peninsula. There’s not really any more room to build once it’s been filled up. Because of that, prices tend to stay pretty high. Another reason why prices are high is because of tourism. If someone can rent out their home as an Airbnb for a lot of money, they’re going to have to charge more for a regular rental for it to make sense.
Right now, prices have gone up about 14.5% year over year for the past 4 years. Although, they cost about twice what they did five years ago.

I lost my job and I started to get behind on my mortgage. I called Purple Egg Real Estate about selling my Defuniak Springs home. They gave me a fair cash offer that I took. Within 20 days we closed on my house and put some money in my pocket. I sold the home “as-is” and they didn’t require me to repair or clean anything before the closing.
