Gulf
Florida · Most recent sourced sale
County snapshot
Gulf has grown 11.3% since 2020 and still shows positive net migration (256 people in 2024). Demand for housing usually means owners redeem rather than walk away — good for the interest, less good if you were hoping to take the deed.
By population, Gulf is the 60th largest of Florida's 67 counties. It has grown faster than the state average (+8.2% across Florida), so competition at the auction is likely to be heavier here than in the quieter counties.
