Martin County Single-Family Homes Market Update – July 2026

Martin County Single-Family Homes Real Estate Statistics – July 2026

Martin County’s single-family home market continued to strengthen in July, with home prices rising, closed sales jumping substantially, and inventory falling well below last year’s levels. Homes are also selling faster, while the supply of available properties has tightened considerably.

The standout story this month is the combination of 23% more closed sales and 21% less active inventory than a year ago. With just 3.7 months of supply available, Martin County’s single-family market remains firmly competitive.

Let’s take a closer look.

Market Breakdown – July 2026 vs. July 2025

Median Sale Price: $599,900

📈 Up 4% year-over-year

The median sale price increased 4% compared with last July. This steady appreciation, combined with rising sales and lower inventory, points to continued demand for single-family homes throughout Martin County.

Closed Sales: 211 homes

📈 Up 23% year-over-year

Closed sales recorded one of the strongest increases in this month’s report. Nearly one-quarter more single-family homes changed hands than during July 2025, demonstrating that buyers remain active despite having fewer properties to choose from.

Active Inventory: 696 homes

🔻 Down 21% year-over-year

Inventory continues to tighten significantly. With more than one-fifth fewer homes available for sale than a year ago, buyers are facing reduced selection across the county.

This limited supply is also helping to support home values.

Pending Sales: 184 contracts

📈 Up 1% year-over-year

Pending sales were essentially flat, with a slight increase compared with last July. This suggests buyer demand remains steady heading into the latter part of the summer.

Months of Inventory: 3.7 months

🔻 Down 34% year-over-year

The supply of available homes has fallen dramatically compared with last year. At just 3.7 months of inventory, Martin County’s single-family home market remains firmly in seller-favored territory.

Days on Market: 43 days

🔻 Down 14% year-over-year

Homes are selling noticeably faster than they were last year. With fewer properties available, well-priced homes in desirable communities are attracting buyers more quickly.

New Listings: 203 homes

📈 Up 1% year-over-year

New listings were essentially unchanged from last year. Although slightly more homes entered the market, the increase has not been enough to rebuild overall inventory as sales activity continues to absorb available supply.

What This Means for You

Buyers

Martin County’s single-family home market remains competitive. With inventory down 21% and homes selling faster, buyers should be prepared to act when a suitable property becomes available.

However, competition can vary significantly by neighborhood and price point. Buyers should still evaluate individual properties carefully rather than assuming every listing will attract immediate offers.

Sellers

July delivered several encouraging indicators for sellers. Home prices are higher, closed sales have surged, inventory is substantially lower, and homes are selling faster than they were a year ago.

With fewer competing properties available, sellers who price accurately and present their homes effectively are entering the market from a strong position.

Investors

Martin County continues to demonstrate attractive long-term fundamentals. Limited housing supply, steady price appreciation, and strong transaction activity all contribute to the area’s investment appeal.

Individual property economics still matter, particularly purchase price, insurance, maintenance, taxes, and potential rental income.

Final Thoughts

July’s statistics show a Martin County single-family housing market that is significantly tighter and more active than it was a year ago.

The median sale price increased 4%, closed sales jumped 23%, and active inventory fell 21%. Meanwhile, homes sold 14% faster and months of inventory declined by an impressive 34% to just 3.7 months.

Pending sales increased only slightly, so it will be worth watching whether the strong pace of closed sales continues in the months ahead. But for now, the combination of limited supply and healthy buyer activity continues to create a favorable environment for sellers while keeping buyers focused on preparation and timing.

As we move through the second half of 2026, Martin County remains one of the Treasure Coast’s most closely watched single-family real estate markets.
