I live on the Gulf coast

I assume waterfront property is expensive almost anywhere. The panhandle is thin, but don't housing prices go down as you get farther away from the coast proper? It sure works that way in the Northeast.

Yes, it does decrease, but not at the rate you may think. Small towns off coast like Blountstown, Wewa, Fountain are less than coastal property but have risen dramatically in the past few years. However, property tax and insurance are just as high for those areas as anywhere in FL.
