Every so often, Congress goes through a round of Base Realignment and Closure (aka BRAC) in an attempt to maximize military readiness while reducing costs. Pensacola was suppose to lose about 2,000 active duty and career civil service jobs. The Ft. Walton Beach area is supposed to gain 2,000+ active duty and career civil service jobs. (provided the city of Vlparaiso doesn't manage to screw up the arrival of the F-35 training center) Add in families and multiplier effects and how a lot of those people are coming or going in large groups and it can cause a significant fluxuation in local available housing stock.
