Lynn Haven
The fastest-moving market we track — homes go under contract in 44 days and close at 98% of asking.
North of St Andrews Bay
A real town, and it trades like one
Lynn Haven sits at the top of North Bay, a few minutes from Panama City and about forty from the beach. It is a town people live in year-round rather than visit — and that shows up in the numbers more clearly than anywhere else on this coast.
44 days to go under contract, and 98% of asking price. For comparison, Destin runs 88 days at 95.4%. Lynn Haven is not a cheaper version of the beach market; it is a different market with different rules.

Short-term rental permission is decided by the HOA and can be further restricted on an individual property by its deed. This figure reflects how listings are marked in the MLS, not what any particular home is allowed to do — always have it verified before counting on rental income.

What you actually get
Homes sold across 32444 over the past year at a median of $337,000 and roughly $199 a square foot. Sellers are currently asking closer to $217 — which is the single most useful thing on this page if you are about to list.
The housing is mostly detached single-family on real lots, a good deal of it built since the storm rebuild, with mature neighbourhoods like The Landings alongside newer construction.
The bay is the point
Porter Park sits on the water with a pavilion and a boat ramp, and the old Bailey Bridge is now a walking and fishing bridge rather than a road. Marina Bay, the golf course and the nature walk are the sort of amenities that keep people here rather than draw them in for a week.
It is also a town that still does a proper Fourth of July parade, which tells you more about Lynn Haven than any statistic on this page.
Where it sits in the county
The live inventory count sits at the top of this page and updates itself. It is a working market with genuine choice, and it moves quickly enough that a well-priced house does not sit.
We track Lynn Haven alongside Panama City and Downtown separately rather than lumping them into one Bay County number, because they behave differently and the averages hide it.
