If you're looking for a real estate agent in Pace, you're shopping one of the most popular growth markets in Northwest Florida. Here's the 2026 picture and how I help buyers and sellers here.

The Pace market in 2026

Pace's median home price sits in the mid $300,000s, with listings often around $350,000 and recent sold prices a bit lower, a sign the market has moderated into balanced, buyer-friendly territory. Homes are averaging around 67 days on market, with rising inventory giving buyers more choice than they had a year ago.

The appeal of Pace is simple: you get newer homes and bigger lots than you typically find closer into Pensacola, while still keeping a reasonable commute to the city, the bases, and the beaches.

What buyers come to Pace for

Pace attracts a specific kind of buyer, and knowing that shapes the search:

• Move-up and growing households who want more square footage and a yard than the in-town Pensacola market offers at the same price.
• New-construction buyers, since Pace has been a hub of new building, with the trade-offs that come with builder contracts and timelines.
• Commuters working in Pensacola or at the bases who want a newer home for the money.

Knowing which of these you are changes how we search, especially when new construction is on the table, where having your own agent at the builder's table matters.

Buying in Pace

If you're considering new construction in Pace, the single most important thing to know is that the builder's sales rep works for the builder, not for you. I represent buyers through builder contracts, upgrade negotiations, inspections, and timelines, often at no cost to you, so you don't navigate it alone. For resale homes, I walk you through the true monthly cost including insurance before you commit.

Selling in Pace

Pace sellers compete with a steady stream of new construction, so pricing and presentation are everything. An existing home priced right against current comps, professionally photographed, and marketed to commuters and move-up buyers still sells well, even with builders in the mix. That strategy is what I build for every Pace seller.
