The Treasure Coast real estate market, which was controlled by sellers at the start of 2024, appears to be shifting toward a buyer’s market as 2025 begins, according to local Realtors® associations. Inventories approached the 5½-month mark—often considered a “balanced” market—and the time to sell homes increased across all three counties compared to 2023.
"When inventory increases, it means buyers gain more leverage in the market. If you’re a seller, it takes longer to sell your home now because of the increased competition. If you’re a buyer, this is a beautiful market for you," said Jonathan Lickstein, president of Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors ®. More homes were listed in Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties—giving buyers greater choice and bargaining power in 2025
