Single-family home prices are rising across the Treasure Coast after dropping from 2023 to 2025. Martin County median home sale prices are up 1.1% since 2025, sitting at $655,000. St. Lucie County is seeing the highest increase in the region, up 2.3% since June 2025 with a median sale price of $399,000. Indian River County has seen an increase of 1.8%, with a median sales price of $400,000.
Kelley Decowski, an award-winning realtor at REMAX in Stuart, said the increases are being driven by low supply and high demand. Decowski said buyers should start making decisions now because there are no signs that the prices are going to come back down and they are probably going to continue to increase. She said inventory is low on the Treasure Coast, though the market is currently balanced for both buyers and sellers.
Decowski said buyers need to be realistic with their offers and need to come in pre-approved before they go looking at homes. Sellers need to price their homes realistically and need to present a well-maintained product. For some Martin County homeowners, the rising prices are reshaping long-term plans.
Cara Collins, who bought her home before the COVID-19 pandemic when prices were significantly lower, said she has no plans to sell. Collins said this is going to be her family home as long as the market is still as high as it is. She said current prices are higher than she would hope for and that the market has changed what would be possible for her family today.
Collins said she would not be able to be a stay-at-home mom and be able to afford a home for her kids if they would be buying now. Condo and townhome prices have dropped in Martin and St. Lucie counties and increased by less than a percent in Indian River County.
