How much does a home cost in St. Lucie County?

Well below the tri-county area for a comparable home: Port St. Lucie single-family homes, many of them new, sit near the middle of the market, Fort Pierce offers the lowest entry prices, and Hutchinson Island oceanfront condos and PGA Village golf homes sit at the top. The market table on this page shows the current median list and sold prices, updated daily from the MLS.

Is Port St. Lucie a good place to buy a new construction home?

It is one of the most active new-home markets in Florida. New construction brings the current hurricane code, a builder warranty and lower insurance, and builders often offer incentives on closing costs or rate buy-downs that never appear in the MLS. A BreakThru agent can represent you on a builder contract at no cost to you and negotiate those incentives.

Which St. Lucie County communities are for buyers over 55?

Port St. Lucie holds the county's largest active-adult communities: Del Webb in Tradition, GL Homes' Valencia communities in Riverland, and more in St. Lucie West and PGA Village, with manufactured-home 55-plus parks such as Savanna Club and Spanish Lakes at the entry end. Each has its own club, fees and rules; the 55-plus page carries the live listings and we confirm the community rules before you offer.

How far is St. Lucie County from Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale?

Port St. Lucie is roughly an hour north of West Palm Beach and about two hours from Fort Lauderdale by I-95 or the Turnpike, which is why many buyers commute or split their time. Palm Beach International Airport is the closest major airport.

What is my St. Lucie County home worth?

Request a free valuation and we build it from recent closed sales in your community, adjusted for age, condition and upgrades, and compared with the builder's current pricing on a comparable new home. For a listing decision we prepare a full comparative market analysis, and homeowners who need a fast sale can request a guaranteed cash offer.

Living in St. Lucie County

St. Lucie County is where South Florida buyers go for space and a new house at a price the tri-county area no longer offers. Port St. Lucie, the county's largest city, has grown around master-planned communities such as Tradition, St. Lucie West, Verano and PGA Village, with new schools, the Cleveland Clinic Tradition hospital and retail following the rooftops. Fort Pierce keeps a historic downtown, a working waterfront and marina on the Indian River Lagoon, and Hutchinson Island carries the county's oceanfront condos and beach houses. I-95 and the Turnpike put Palm Beach County employment within an hour.

New Construction

More new homes are built in St. Lucie County each year than almost anywhere else in Florida, from entry-level single-family homes and townhomes in Port St. Lucie to 55-and-over communities in Tradition and golf-course homes in PGA Village. New construction carries the current hurricane code, a builder warranty and lower insurance costs, and a BreakThru agent can represent you on a builder contract at no cost to you. The new-construction page carries the live inventory; ask us about builder incentives that are not in the MLS.

Golf, 55-Plus and Gated Communities

PGA Village in Port St. Lucie is home to the PGA of America's golf club and several residential golf communities, and St. Lucie West, Tradition and Verano add gated and club neighbourhoods with pools, fitness centres and social calendars. The county's active-adult communities, led by Del Webb in Tradition and GL Homes' Valencia communities in Riverland, draw retirees from the Northeast and from Palm Beach County at prices well below the communities to the south.

Waterfront and the Coast

Hutchinson Island's oceanfront condos and beach houses, the Indian River Lagoon frontage in Fort Pierce, and the river and canal homes along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River in Port St. Lucie give the county a waterfront market at a fraction of Palm Beach County prices. The Fort Pierce Inlet gives boaters direct ocean access, and the county's marinas, boat ramps and fishing are a large part of why people move here.

Selling a Home in St. Lucie County

St. Lucie sellers compete with the builders, so a resale home is priced against both the closed resales in its community and the builder's current incentives on a comparable new home. We price from the sales that match your community, age and condition, market to the relocation buyers who drive demand here, and can present a guaranteed cash offer beside the listing estimate if speed matters more than price.

Investing in St. Lucie County

Investors buy in St. Lucie for entry prices, new housing stock that needs little maintenance, and annual rental demand from the hospital, the schools and the commuters to Palm Beach County. Single-family rentals in Port St. Lucie are the core of the market; the price-reduced and new-construction pages track where the value is. The rentals page carries live St. Lucie County rentals and a landlord page.
