In a market the size of Defuniak Springs, individual sales move the needle. The figures below rest on 141 tracked closings over the last 12 months, so read them as the direction of the market rather than a precise price for any one street.

• •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 141
• •Median sold price, last 12 months: $245,000 (low-volume sample)
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $156

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 141 closed sales in Defuniak Springs over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $245,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $175,500 and $288,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 99% of the Defuniak Springs closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 141 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $124 and $187 per square foot.

The Defuniak Springs angle

Because $175,500 and $288,000 sit closer together than in most markets we track, $245,000 already tells you something usable about a single address, and 141 closings gives you enough matched sales to improve on it. Use the band as a test. Where the spread is this narrow, a large gap between a well-matched comp set and the citywide midpoint usually points to a problem with the set: a mixed property type, a size window that drifted, a sale that should not have qualified. The band leans low, with more ground between $175,500 and $245,000 than between $245,000 and $288,000. So even here, comps below the midpoint are drawn from the more dispersed side and disagree with each other more than an equal number above it.

From market read to offer price

A thin market punishes generic pricing; the way to firm up a number here is the specific property and its handful of true comps. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 12,516+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records. This is a low-volume sample: treat the statistics as directional rather than precise estimates of the entire local market.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Defuniak Springs over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track inside the city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 15% of the 141 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $245,745. This is a low-volume market: the figures below rest on 141 closings inside the city limits, so treat the median as indicative rather than precise.
