Market Breakdown – May 2025 vs. May 2024
Let’s walk through the most important metrics from this month’s update and what they mean for you:

Median Sale Price: $609,600
Up 6% YoY
This steady rise in pricing signals healthy demand in the market — despite slower sales, values are still growing. That’s good news for sellers and shows Martin County remains a desirable place to live and invest.

Closed Sales: 188 homes
Down 9% YoY
Sales activity has eased compared to last May, but this dip isn’t alarming — it simply reflects a return to more normal market conditions after the rapid pace of the last few years.

Active Inventory: 1,008 homes
Up 40% YoY
Buyers, rejoice! There’s a lot more to choose from. This jump in inventory helps cool competition and gives buyers more negotiating power — while still keeping the market active.

Pending Sales: 158 contracts
Down 13% YoY
Fewer pending contracts this year could reflect buyer hesitation due to interest rates or simply a more measured pace. That said, there’s still a steady stream of activity — just with less urgency.

Days on Market: 54 days
Up 38% YoY
Homes are sitting longer before going under contract, which gives buyers time to consider options and gives sellers a gentle reminder to price and present their properties thoughtfully.

Months of Inventory: 6.4 months
Up 45% YoY
With over six months of supply, Martin County has officially entered buyer’s market territory. This opens the door to better deals, more negotiations, and opportunities for buyers who may have felt sidelined in the past.

 What This All Means for You

If you’re buying:
You have more inventory, more time, and more negotiating power than we’ve seen in years. The slight uptick in prices shows you’re investing in a healthy, appreciating market.

If you’re selling:
Buyers are more selective, so pricing competitively and preparing your home well is key. Homes are still selling — just not at warp speed.

If you’re watching from the sidelines:
This is a market full of opportunity. Balanced conditions are the best time to make clear, strategic decisions without the frenzy.

Looking Ahead

As we head into the summer season, we may see a pickup in buyer activity — especially if mortgage rates stabilize or drop slightly. With more homes available and prices holding firm, Martin County offers a healthy and encouraging landscape for both sides of the table.
