How the home is priced and marketed determines whether you capture it.

Uber Realty lists Hawk's Landing homes at a 1% listing fee. Same Emerald Coast Association of REALTORS MLS. Same buyer pool. Professional photography, 3D iGuide virtual tour, drone where applicable, geo-targeted social ads, and contract negotiation from accepted offer through closing. The overhead is leaner. The work is not.

What Makes Hawk's Landing Different from Every Other Subdivision in Niceville

Hawk's Landing is a protected 35-home enclave built by Randy Wise Homes between 2011 and 2015. It sits adjacent to Turkey Creek Walk North, with a kayak launch, walking trail, picnic areas, and creek access at the back door. No other small Niceville subdivision puts you directly on that trail.

The community is cul-de-sac design. No through traffic. Underground utilities throughout. Sidewalks and street lighting. Natural gas, which is uncommon in Niceville residential neighborhoods. Every home was built to Randy Wise's above-standard specs: 2x6 exterior wall framing, R-19 insulation, high-impact windows, 9-foot ceilings, Legacy cabinetry, and granite or quartz countertops.

There is no HOA fee. The community is covenant restricted, which maintains neighborhood standards without the monthly fee burden. In a city where HOA fees commonly run $75 to $230 per month, that is a specific financial advantage and a selling point worth leading with.

Who Buys in Hawk's Landing and Why It Shapes the Listing

The buyer pool here is specific. Knowing who they are shapes everything from the listing description to the price.

Active military families and DoD civilians. Eglin AFB's main gate is approximately 7 to 10 minutes from Hawk's Landing via Highway 85. That is one of the shortest Niceville commutes to the base. Hurlburt Field is approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Families who want top-tier Niceville schools, a short Eglin commute, and custom construction without an HOA fee end up here.

Medical professionals. Twin Cities Hospital is immediately adjacent. Walking distance. That proximity belongs in the listing description for any healthcare buyer scanning the MLS.

Outdoor-oriented buyers. The Turkey Creek Walk North trail and kayak launch at the back door is not a minor amenity. For the right buyer, direct access to a managed natural area with a spring-fed creek is the primary reason they choose this address over every other Niceville option in the same price band.

Buyers upgrading within Niceville. The combination of Randy Wise quality, no HOA fee, natural gas, and green belt privacy is not available in Niceville new construction at any price. Buyers who know what they want have one place to find it.

The Hawk's Landing Market Right Now

Hawk's Landing produces zero to two active listings at any given time and roughly one to four closings per year. That low volume is not a weakness when selling. It is scarcity, and scarcity sets the floor under the price.

The Niceville city-wide median sale price was $455,000 as of March 2026, per Redfin. Hawk's Landing sits well above the city median because Randy Wise custom specs, the Turkey Creek adjacency, and the absence of HOA fees price differently from standard Niceville inventory. Recent Hawk's Landing closed sales pulled from public records on Redfin and Coldwell Banker Homes ranged from $455,000 for a 1,888 sqft three-bedroom to $815,000 for a three-bedroom with a walk-out basement on .42 acres. The current active listing in the community is priced at $828,997 per the Remax MLS feed.

Resale pricing in a 35-home community depends entirely on lot, condition, finish level, and what is active inside the community at the time of listing. Niceville-wide medians do not apply here. Jim pulls current ECAR MLS data specific to Hawk's Landing and the comparable premium Niceville tier before any pricing conversation. Call (850) 499-2940.

No HOA. Here Is the Math.

Hawk's Landing is covenant restricted, not HOA governed. There are no monthly dues. No management company. No special assessments.

In Niceville, that is unusual. Most communities in this price range carry HOA fees of $75 to $230 per month. Over twelve months, that is $900 to $2,760 in fees a Hawk's Landing buyer avoids every year, while still living in a neighborhood with underground utilities, sidewalks, street lighting, and protected covenant standards.

Covenant restrictions do apply. Governing documents are on file with Okaloosa County. Pull them from the Okaloosa County Property Appraiser before listing to confirm current restrictions on modifications, exterior colors, and rentals. Include a copy in the buyer disclosure package. Buyer agents will ask.

Recent Hawk's Landing Closed Sales

The numbers below are public-record closed sales pulled from Redfin and Coldwell Banker Homes. Block-level addresses only. These are the kind of comps Jim pulls when pricing a Hawk's Landing listing, supplemented with the most recent ECAR MLS data at the time of listing.

Block / Street	Beds / Baths	Sq Ft	Sold Price	Sold Date
Falcon Trl block	3 / 2	1,888	$455,000	Nov 2021
Falcon Trl block	3 / 2.5	2,051	$514,000	Jan 2023
Falcon Trl block	3 / 2.5 + basement	.42 acre	$815,000	Jun 2023

Sources: Redfin and Coldwell Banker Homes public-record listings. Comps are illustrative of recent activity in Hawk's Landing and do not predict the value of any specific home. A current value analysis pulls comps tailored to the home's beds, baths, square footage, lot, condition, and time on market.

Insurance, Flood Zone, and What the Construction Era Means

Hawk's Landing is an interior Niceville community, not adjacent to bayou or open water. Turkey Creek runs through a managed recreation area on elevated terrain. The flood zone designation for Falcon Trail is generally Zone X (low risk). Confirm the specific designation for your lot at the FEMA Map Service Center before listing, and include the certificate in the buyer disclosure package.

Construction quality pays off at insurance time. Randy Wise built these homes to above-standard specs: 2x6 exterior framing, R-19 insulation, and high-impact windows. That combination supports favorable wind mitigation ratings and lower insurance premiums than standard-framed homes of the same era. The original wind mitigation report, if retained, should go in the seller package. If it is not available, a new wind mitigation inspection before listing is a worthwhile investment.

Roof and HVAC at the 10 to 15 year mark. Homes built between 2011 and 2015 have roofs that are 10 to 15 years old. Most have remaining serviceable life, but condition varies by home. A pre-listing roof inspection documents current condition and removes a common buyer objection before it becomes a contract contingency.

HVAC systems in the same age range are approaching mid-life. Service the system before listing and retain the documentation. Buyers using VA financing or requesting four-point inspections will review it.

What Selling at 1% Looks Like in Hawk's Landing

Florida's average total real estate commission was 5.57% in February 2026, slightly below the national average of 5.70%, per Clever Real Estate. Uber Realty's listing fee is 1%. Buyer's agent compensation is negotiable, typically around 2%, for a total commission often around 3% depending on the transaction. All commissions are negotiable.

Sellers are not required to offer compensation to a buyer's agent. The recommendation in this market is to be prepared to offer it. Most buyers are cash-strapped after closing costs, and listings that help cover the buyer-side fee tend to attract more showings and stronger offers. Two percent upfront sets a sensible negotiating anchor. It is easier to negotiate down from there than to add it later.

Two listing programs are available in Hawk's Landing.

1% Done With You. Best for sellers comfortable handling showings and access on their end. Listing fee 1%. Add the buyer-side commission separately. At 2% to the buyer's agent, total commission is often around 3%.

2% Done For You. Best for sellers who want a more hands-off experience. Listing fee 2%. Adds professional photography upgrades, staging consultation, sign installation, and full showing management. At 2% to the buyer's agent, total commission is often around 4%.

What that looks like in dollars at three Hawk's Landing price points:

Sale Price	FL Avg 5.57%	Done With You 3%	Done For You 4%
$500,000	$27,850	$15,000	$20,000
$650,000	$36,205	$19,500	$26,000
$800,000	$44,560	$24,000	$32,000

Florida average commission rate from Clever Real Estate, February 2026. Comparison figures are illustrative. Actual commission on any listing is set in the listing agreement and is fully negotiable. Same MLS, same buyer pool, same closing process across both Uber Realty programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the median sale price in Hawk's Landing right now?

Hawk's Landing produces only one to four closings per year, so a community-specific median bounces with each sale. Recent closed Falcon Trail sales pulled from Redfin and Coldwell Banker Homes ranged from $455,000 for a 1,888 sqft three-bedroom to $815,000 for a three-bedroom with a walk-out basement on .42 acres. The Niceville city-wide median was $455,000 as of March 2026, per Redfin. Hawk's Landing trends above the city median because of Randy Wise specs, no HOA, and Turkey Creek adjacency. Pricing comes from specific comps, not subdivision-wide averages.

How long do homes take to sell in Hawk's Landing?

Time on market varies because volume is low. Pricing set against the right comp on day one is the single biggest lever on time to contract. Homes priced above the comps drift. Homes priced at the comps move. Niceville city-wide median days on market was 76 days as of March 2026, per Redfin. Hawk's Landing typically tracks similar to slightly slower because the buyer pool that wants this exact product is smaller, but more committed.

Will buyer agents really show my Hawk's Landing home if it is listed at 1%?

Yes. Buyer agent compensation is negotiated separately from the listing fee. The listing appears identically on the ECAR MLS regardless of what the seller pays in listing commission. The listing fee is invisible to the buyer's agent at the point of showing. Most Niceville sellers offer 2% to the buyer's agent, bringing total commission to around 3%. All commissions are negotiable.

Is there really no HOA fee in Hawk's Landing?

Correct. Hawk's Landing is covenant restricted, not HOA governed. No monthly dues. No management company. Covenant restrictions do apply, and governing documents are on file with Okaloosa County. Pull them from okaloosapa.com before listing. In a Niceville market where HOA fees commonly run $75 to $230 per month, the absence of a fee is a concrete buyer advantage that belongs in the listing description with a dollar figure attached.

What documents should I gather before listing?

Six items: the original wind mitigation report or a new inspection, a current roof inspection or documentation, HVAC service records, Manabloc plumbing documentation from the Randy Wise build package, the covenant documents from okaloosapa.com, and the FEMA flood zone certificate from msc.fema.gov. These remove the most common inspection, insurance, and disclosure objections before they become contingencies.

How does Hawk's Landing compete against Deer Moss Creek and Bluewater Bay?

Hawk's Landing is fully built out at 35 homes. No builder inventory. No new phases. The combination of direct Turkey Creek Walk North access, natural gas, and covenant-only governance with no HOA fee is not available in either Deer Moss Creek or Bluewater Bay. Buyers who want this specific product have one place to find it. That scarcity is a real pricing advantage when the listing copy and the comps support it.
