The Okaloosa market right now

Across all home types, Okaloosa’s median sale price for the three months ending September 2026 was $357,201, up 3.4% from a year earlier. Homes took a median of 83 days to sell. A single-family-only figure wasn’t published; the county’s large condo inventory in Destin and on Okaloosa Island affects the mix.

Selling with code violations or liens in Okaloosa County

Okaloosa County Growth Management’s Code Enforcement Division handles unincorporated areas from offices in Shalimar and Crestview. Cases go to the seven-member Code Enforcement Board in Shalimar; confirm the meeting date with the county, since the published schedule and recent minutes don’t match. The board does authorize lien foreclosures through the Clerk. The county doesn’t publish a lien reduction program, so we negotiate case by case and pay the balance at closing.

Facing foreclosure in Okaloosa County

Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller Brad E. Embry, who took office January 1, 2025, oversees foreclosure and tax deed sales, both held online. Tax deed listings appear on okaloosa.realtaxdeed.com and Bid4Assets. Since August 2022, the lender, not the Clerk, issues the notice of sale. The sale is set 20 to 35 days after final judgment (Fla. Stat. 45.031).

Inherited a house in Okaloosa County

Okaloosa is in the 1st Judicial Circuit with Escambia, Santa Rosa and Walton. Summary administration is usually available for estates of $150,000 or less after exempt property, or when the owner died more than two years ago (Fla. Stat. 735.201).

Eglin and Hurlburt

Under Fla. Stat. 163.3175, the commanders at Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field must be notified of, and can comment on, proposed land-use and zoning changes on nearby land in Okaloosa County and most of its cities. Their comments can cite airfield safety and noise, and the county has to weigh them. That matters if a buyer is counting on a rezoning, lot split or extra density near the bases. We buy without those contingencies.

What we buy and how it works

What we buy. All residential and commercial property: single-family homes, townhomes, condos, multifamily (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and apartment buildings), mobile homes on land you own (not in land-lease parks), vacant lots and land, and commercial property (retail, office, industrial and mixed-use), as-is, in any condition. That includes the hard ones: code violations and liens, foreclosure, probate and inherited property, hostile holdover occupants, hoarder houses, and sinkhole, storm or flood damage.

How it works. 1) Tell us about the property online or call (786) 753-8500. 2) We look at it with you, in person or by video, and make a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours. 3) You pick the closing date: as soon as 7 days, or later if you need time. We pay the standard seller closing costs, and you pay no commissions. We buy directly; in some sales we close alongside a partner investor, but you sign one contract with us and get one closing date either way.
