INVENTORY CLIMBS AGAIN IN MARTIN COUNTY AS SALES AND PRICES DIP
Just in! August 2025 reports have been released detailing recent real estate activity in Martin County. The reports compare year-over-year data. Here are statistics on single-family homes.
Martin County’s housing market softened slightly in August, with closed sales falling 10.5% year-over-year to 171 transactions (down from 191 in August 2024). At the same time, active listings continued to climb, rising 14.4% to 1,034 homes, contributing to a 6.8-month supply of inventory, an environment that increasingly favors buyers. The median sale price dipped 3.3% year-over-year to $590,000, reflecting adjustments in seller expectations and buyer purchasing power. Meanwhile, homes are taking longer to sell, with a median time to sale of 98 days, up 14% compared to last year. Cash sales also declined by 11.4%, pointing to a growing pool of mortgage-backed buyers entering the market.
“We’re seeing a more buyer-friendly market take shape in Martin County,” says President of the Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors® Jonathan Lickstein. “Inventory is growing, and sellers are adjusting their pricing to meet today's market. It's also a great time for first-time buyers to explore assumable loans, which can offer significant savings on interest. It is a powerful but often overlooked financing option. A local Realtor® can help you navigate these opportunities with confidence.”
Assumable loans let buyers take over the seller’s existing mortgage, including its lower interest rate, something many homeowners locked in before rates climbed. This can lead to major savings over time, particularly for first-time buyers concerned about affordability. While these loans aren’t available on every property, a local Realtor® can help you identify homes with assumable financing and guide you through the process with confidence.
