Moving up near the beach

Move-up buyers in Navarre FL are often trading a first home for more space, a newer build, or a home outside an HOA, while staying near Navarre Beach. Others are moving to Navarre from Pensacola, Pace or Milton to be closer to the coast. Either way, the sale and the purchase need to land together.

How I run a Navarre sell-and-buy

Vivian Corwin is a bilingual Realtor and Military Relocation Professional with IXL Real Estate in Pensacola, FL, helping military and relocating families buy and sell homes across Pensacola, Pace, Milton, Gulf Breeze, and Navarre. I run your sale and your purchase as one plan on one timeline. On the buying side, I help you pick the right part of Navarre and the right type of community before we tour. On the selling side, your home gets my full listing plan, marketed to the buyer most likely to want your part of Navarre. See how I sell homes.

How the timeline works

We decide buy first or sell first with your numbers, line up the lender, set target closing dates and build the listing launch backward from the move. See selling and buying at the same time.

Navarre

What trading up looks like in Navarre

East along the coast near Navarre Beach, for buyers who want to live close to the water.

Navarre stretches along Highway 98 east of Gulf Breeze, with Navarre Beach across the bridge on Santa Rosa Island.

Most buyers here look on the mainland, and where a home sits relative to Highway 98 shapes the daily drive as much as anything inside the house.

The homes: Most buyers look on the mainland; Navarre Beach is across the bridge. A mix of established subdivisions, newer homes and homes outside an HOA. Holley by the Sea is one of the larger communities buyers ask about. Neighborhoods feel more spread out than Gulf Breeze proper.
Why people choose it: Buyers who want a residential neighborhood with beach access, including military households working toward Hurlburt Field.
Schools people ask about: Families often ask about Holley-Navarre Primary and Intermediate, West Navarre Primary and Intermediate, Holley-Navarre Middle and Navarre High. Soundside High has brought school-zone changes, so check the district locator for the exact address and school year.
Getting around: Highway 98 is the main east-west route, and where a home sits relative to it makes a real difference to the daily drive. Test the commute during actual work hours.
Nearby: Navarre Beach, across the bridge, without living on the island.
The trade-off: Farther from downtown Pensacola than Gulf Breeze proper, and more time driving for work and city errands than living in Pensacola. In return, a home base near Navarre Beach in a more spread-out residential setting.
