Martin County Real Estate Market Update – December 2025

Martin County wrapped up 2025 on a strong note, with significant growth in closed sales, rising home values, and a drop in overall inventory. It’s a market that continues to favor well-positioned sellers, while still offering excellent opportunities for buyers who are ready to act.

Market Breakdown – December 2025 vs. December 2024

Median Sale Price: $600,000
📈 Up 3% year-over-year
Steady price growth reflects strong buyer demand and limited supply. Martin County’s value-driven appeal continues to attract interest, especially from those looking for space, quality, and coastal charm.

Closed Sales: 229 homes
📈 Up 30% year-over-year
That’s a big jump in activity. More homes closed this December than last, showing a confident market with buyers ready to make moves before year-end.

Active Inventory: 785 homes
🔻 Down 5% year-over-year
Inventory continues to tighten, which puts upward pressure on prices and benefits sellers who list early in 2026.

Pending Sales: 139 contracts
📈 Up 6% year-over-year
Even with fewer listings, buyers are locking in contracts — a sign that demand isn’t slowing down as we head into the new year.

Months of Inventory: 4.5 months
🔻 Down 12% year-over-year
This pushes Martin County deeper into seller’s market territory. With fewer homes available relative to demand, well-marketed properties are likely to stand out and move quickly.

Days on Market: 53 days
📈 Up 26% year-over-year
Homes are taking longer to sell, giving buyers a bit more breathing room and making it even more important for sellers to price correctly and show their homes in the best light.

New Listings: 172
🔻 Down 14% year-over-year
Fewer new listings means less competition for sellers, and buyers may find that the best homes are getting scooped up quickly.

What This Means for You

Buyers:
Inventory is tightening, but homes are sitting a bit longer — giving you time to shop smart and act strategically. Early 2026 could be your window before spring competition heats up.

Sellers:
With fewer new listings and strong sales growth, now’s the time to list. Serious buyers are still in the market, and low inventory gives your home more visibility.

Investors:
Martin County’s combination of price growth and sales volume makes it a smart play for long-term value and rental stability.

Final Thoughts

Martin County heads into 2026 with all signs pointing to strength: rising sales, firm prices, and limited inventory. Whether you’re entering the market or making your next move, it’s a great time to lean into smart strategy — and act while the market is active but not overheated.
