Crestview Real Estate Update: What’s Really Happening in the Market Right Now (October 2025)

by Alisha Dalton-Allyn

If you’ve been thinking about selling your home in Crestview, you’ve probably noticed some mixed signals out there. One report says prices are up… another says they’re down. So what’s actually happening in our local market — and what does it mean for you as a homeowner? Let’s break it down.

The Real Numbers

Here’s a quick snapshot of what we’re seeing across major platforms:

Redfin: Median sale price sits around $294,950, up roughly 6.3% year-over-year.
Zillow: Average home value is $287,842, down about 3.4% from last year.
Realtor.com: Median list price around $314,000, trending 4.7% lower than last year.
Days on market: Homes are selling in about 73 days, a bit quicker than earlier this year.

So, yes — prices are holding strong overall, but the market is showing signs of balance.

What That Means for Sellers

Crestview isn’t the “list it high and it’ll sell fast” kind of market right now. Buyers are more selective, and presentation matters more than ever. This is actually good news — it means serious sellers can still win big with the right strategy.

Here’s the bottom line:

If your home is priced correctly and shows well, you can still get top dollar. But if it’s over-priced or under-marketed, it’ll sit.

My Top 3 Seller Tips Right Now

Get a fresh, local market evaluation – Online estimates can be way off. Let’s compare your home to recent local sales.
Focus on curb appeal – A clean yard, fresh mulch, and minor touch-ups make a bigger difference than you’d think.
Be flexible – Slight price adjustments or timing tweaks can make all the difference in getting the right offer.

Why It’s Still a Great Time to Sell

Even with mixed stats, demand in Crestview stays strong — thanks to military relocations, growth in nearby Freeport and Niceville, and continued buyer migration to Northwest Florida. So while the pace has slowed a bit, serious buyers are still out there looking for move-in ready homes.

Final Thoughts

The Crestview market isn’t “hot” or “cold” — it’s smart. Sellers who adapt, prepare, and price strategically are the ones winning.
