The five highest-priced home sales reported in Central Panhandle & Forgotten Coast, Florida for the week ending October 25, 2026, came to a combined $9.265 million. All five were single-family homes, and each was in a different town, stretching from Panama City Beach and Lynn Haven in Bay County to Port Saint Joe in Gulf County and Panacea and Eastpoint in Franklin County.
Water runs through the list: the Gulf, a bayou, the bay. The homes themselves range widely, from one finished in 2024 to one built in 1973, and from a two-bedroom ranch to a pair of seven-bedroom homes. Two sales tied for second place at the same price.
No. 1 — $2,920,000 · 195 Swirly Sun Dr, Port Saint Joe, Florida
The top sale of the week was a beachfront home on North Cape San Blas in Port Saint Joe, which sold for $2,920,000. Known as Swirly Sunsets, the Beach House and Florida Cottage design was finished in the summer of 2023 and was planned from the start for large groups, with seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms (six full and two half) and 3,492 square feet of living space on 0.67 acres facing the Gulf.
The setting is a broad stretch of beach backed by a large dune. Outside, a heated in-ground pool that can also be chilled sits beside the beach, along with a hot tub, a firepit, a barbecue, an outdoor shower and a game deck. Inside, an elevator serves the home’s four stories, and there is an arcade room, a wet bar and a breakfast bar. The home is sided in HardiPlank-type material, and parking is on a pad beneath it. It sold furnished, decorated and equipped.
The property last sold for $365,000 in 2020, before the current house was built.
Zach Childs and George Newman, both of 98 Real Estate Group, LLC, were the listing agents.

No. 2 — $1,750,000 · 4734 Baywood Dr, Lynn Haven, Florida
Few homes in this group have as much going on at the waterline as this brick Traditional in Baywood Shores Estates in Lynn Haven, which sold for $1,750,000. The 0.79-acre lot sits on a cul-de-sac and has about 130 feet of seawalled frontage on Upper Goose Bayou, with two private docks, a boat lift and a small private beach. By water, the open Gulf is about 10 nautical miles away, with no idle-speed zones along the route.
Built in 2005, the home has five bedrooms, six bathrooms and 5,575 square feet, the most living space of the week’s five sales. The primary suite is on the main level, with a home office just across from it. From the foyer, the family room opens to the bay through large picture windows and French doors, and French doors from the living room lead out to a covered back porch. There is a formal dining room, and the kitchen pairs light cabinetry and a walk-in pantry with an island that looks out over the private pool toward the bay.
Upstairs, a bonus room sits among the bedrooms, and a second, larger flex room could serve as a game room or another bedroom. That level also has its own kitchenette and laundry. The home has a two-car garage, a circular driveway and an electric fireplace.
The property last sold for $260,000 in 1998, before the current house was built.

No. 3 — $1,750,000 · 4372 Saint Teresa Ave, Panacea, Florida
The smallest home of the five sold for the same price as the Lynn Haven estate: $1,750,000 for a one-story ranch on Saint Teresa Avenue in Panacea. Built in 1973, it is also the oldest home on the list, with two bedrooms, three bathrooms and 1,216 square feet. What it has in abundance is land and water. The lot covers 1.08 acres, the largest of the week, with frontage on the Gulf, Gulf views and a patio. The property last sold for $385,000 in 2018.
Kevin M Davis of The Naumann Group Real Estate was the listing agent and also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the sale.

No. 4 — $1,470,000 · 212 George C Wallace Blvd, Panama City Beach, Florida
The newest home of the week, finished in 2024, sold for $1,470,000 in Laguna Beach, on the west end of Panama City Beach. It is a short walk from Public Beach Access 77 and a few minutes from the restaurants and shops at Pier Park.
The Coastal-style home makes the most of a compact 3,049-square-foot lot, the smallest of the five, by building up. A rooftop deck looks out to the Gulf, and the primary suite is on an upper level. The five bedrooms include custom bunk rooms, and each bedroom has its own bath; in all there are six full baths and a half bath across 2,845 square feet. The main living area is open, finished in hardwood and porcelain tile, with eight-foot solid-core doors and electric fireplaces. The kitchen has quartz counters, custom cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, stainless appliances and two refrigerators.
Out back are a private in-ground pool, a covered patio and an outdoor shower. The home has a one-car garage, and a four-seat golf cart came with it for trips to the beach.

No. 5 — $1,375,000 · 1183 Russell Way, Eastpoint, Florida
In Cara Bay in Eastpoint, a custom Florida beach home with Gulf and bay views sold for $1,375,000. Built in 1997 and recently remodeled throughout, it ties the Port Saint Joe home for the most bedrooms of the week, with seven. The home also has five full baths, two half baths and 4,936 square feet on one acre.
The renovation brought a new kitchen with an island, quartz counters and stainless appliances, updated bathrooms, and honey-toned waterproof plank flooring through much of the home and up the stairs. An elevator connects the floors, and dormers on the second level have hurricane-grade windows. At the top, a large widow’s walk looks out over the Gulf and the bay.
The home is wrapped in covered porches and decks and has hurricane shutters. It is located in the Cara Bay homeowners association, which includes a community dock, and the property has deeded water access.
