MARTIN COUNTY HOME SALES JUMP AS BUYERS RETURN AND INVENTORY TIGHTENS
Just in! March 2026 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 single-family housing market gained momentum in March, with closed sales rising 21.4% year-over-year to 210 transactions. The increase suggests buyers returned to the market in greater numbers as the spring season got underway, even as affordability remains a consideration for many households.
Home prices were mixed. The median sale price increased 2.8% year-over-year to $606,250, showing resilience in core price points, while the average sale price declined 17.0% to $862,661. That gap indicates less activity at the very top of the market compared to a year ago, even as overall transaction volume improved. Homes are also taking longer to sell. Median time to contract rose 41.5% year-over-year to 58 days, while median time to sale increased 19.3% to 99 days. Sellers are still finding buyers, but the market is moving at a more deliberate pace than it was a year ago. That slower timeline gives buyers more room to evaluate options, while reinforcing the importance of pricing and presentation for sellers.
Pending activity points to continued demand ahead. New pending sales climbed 35.3% year-over-year to 253, outpacing new listings, which slipped 3.7% to 262. At the same time, active inventory fell 22.7% to 777 listings and months’ supply declined to 4.4, down from 6.2 a year earlier. Those figures suggest the market became more competitive in March, particularly for well-priced homes in mainstream price brackets.
“Martin County’s market picked up meaningfully in March, with more buyers entering the market and pending sales showing continued momentum,” said Jonathan Dolphus, President of Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors®. “While homes are still taking longer to sell than they did a year ago, the rise in closed sales and tighter inventory show that well-priced properties are continuing to attract attention. A local Realtor® can help buyers and sellers navigate these shifting conditions with confidence.”
