How much does a home cost in Martin County?

Inland homes in Stuart, Palm City and Indiantown sit near the middle of the market; waterfront homes with docks, Hutchinson Island oceanfront and the club communities sit above it; and Jupiter Island and Sailfish Point are among the most expensive addresses in Florida. The market table on this page shows the current median list and sold prices, updated daily from the MLS.

Why are there no high-rises in Martin County?

The county caps building height at four stories, which keeps the beaches and towns low-rise and limits new supply. For buyers it means uncrowded beaches and firm resale values; for condo buyers it means fewer new buildings and more older ones, so the association's inspection and reserve documents matter.

Where can I find a waterfront home with a dock in Martin County?

Along the St. Lucie River in Stuart, Palm City and Sewall's Point, on the Indian River Lagoon in Jensen Beach and Hobe Sound, and on the canals of Port Salerno and Rocky Point, with the St. Lucie Inlet as the route to the Atlantic. The county-wide waterfront and docks pages carry the live listings.

Is Martin County a good place to invest?

It is a scarcity market: growth rules limit new supply, and demand from Palm Beach County, seasonal renters and the marine industry is steady. Investors watch waterfront and club homes for seasonal rental income and Stuart single-family homes for annual rentals. The rentals page carries live rents and a landlord page.

Living in Martin County

Martin County is the quiet neighbour between Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast. A county-wide building-height limit keeps the skyline low, the beaches uncrowded and the towns small: Stuart, the county seat, with its historic downtown on the St. Lucie River; Jensen Beach and Hutchinson Island on the ocean; Sewall's Point on its peninsula between the river and the Indian River Lagoon; Palm City and its golf and equestrian communities to the west; Hobe Sound and Jupiter Island to the south; and Indiantown inland. Buyers come for the water, the fishing and a slower pace, an hour from Palm Beach International Airport.

Boating, Fishing and the Waterfront

Stuart calls itself the sailfish capital of the world, and the St. Lucie Inlet gives boaters a direct route from the St. Lucie River and the Indian River Lagoon to the Atlantic. Waterfront homes with docks line the river in Stuart, Palm City and Sewall's Point, the lagoon in Jensen Beach and Hobe Sound, and the canals of Port Salerno and Rocky Point; oceanfront condos and beach houses sit on Hutchinson Island. Water depth, dock size and the run to the inlet are the first questions for any Martin County waterfront home.

Golf, Country Club and Gated Communities

Sailfish Point at the tip of Hutchinson Island, Mariner Sands, Willoughby, Piper's Landing, Monarch and the clubs of Hobe Sound give Martin County a country club market that rivals Palm Beach County at lower prices; Harbour Ridge carries a Palm City address but sits just over the line in St. Lucie County. Membership terms differ by community, from optional social memberships to mandatory equity golf memberships, so we confirm the obligation before you offer. Gated communities without golf, and the estates of Jupiter Island, complete the top of the market.

Equestrian Property, Acreage and New Construction

Palm City, Indiantown and the western reaches of the county carry equestrian properties, farms and homes on an acre or more, at prices well below Wellington. New construction is limited by the county's growth rules, which keeps resale values firm; most new homes are in Palm City, Stuart and the western communities, with occasional new oceanfront buildings on Hutchinson Island.

Selling a Home in Martin County

Martin County sellers benefit from limited new supply and steady demand from Palm Beach County and Northeast buyers who want the water without the crowds. A waterfront home is priced on its dockage and its run to the inlet; a club home on its membership and course; a Palm City acreage home on its land. We price from the closed sales that match, and can present a guaranteed cash offer beside the listing estimate if speed matters more than price.

Investing in Martin County

Investors buy in Martin County for the scarcity that its growth rules create, for seasonal rental demand on Hutchinson Island and in the club communities, and for annual rental demand from Stuart's hospital, marine and aviation employers. The price-reduced and waterfront pages track where the value is; the rentals page carries live Martin County rentals and a landlord page.
