Opportunities on Florida’s Treasure Coast — Homes, Waterfront Living & Sport Lifestyle

“If you’ve been watching the Florida real-estate scene, you know things are changing. But on the Treasure Coast, this shift isn’t a warning — it’s an opportunity. From the riverfront homes of Stuart to the canal-access properties of Port St. Lucie, from world-class fishing to pickleball courts and boating adventures — there’s a real chance right now for buyers and sellers to make smart moves. My name’s Tom Power of Power Home Solution, part of the Presson Group powered by Corcoran, and here’s why you should watch this market closely…”

The Treasure Coast real estate market — covering Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River Counties — is evolving fast. After several years of rapid appreciation and tight inventory, we’re now seeing a healthier, more balanced market emerge.

In Martin County, for example, active listings have climbed from around 590 last year to over 800 as of fall 2025. Median home prices hover near $650,000, while St. Lucie and Indian River remain more affordable, averaging $390,000–$420,000.

For buyers, this means more choice, more negotiating power, and less pressure than in previous years. For sellers, it’s time to be strategic — pricing realistically, marketing aggressively, and leaning on agents who understand how to position your home in today’s environment.

My take: The Treasure Coast isn’t cooling — it’s maturing. The frenzied pace is gone, but real opportunity remains for those who act with clarity and purpose.

Waterfront Homes: The Heartbeat of Coastal Florida Living

When people dream about moving to the Treasure Coast, they picture the water — and for good reason. Our region’s rivers, canals, and ocean-access properties are some of the most desirable in the state.

In Stuart, known as the “Sailfish Capital of the World,” you’ll find riverfront estates with private docks, deep-water access, and panoramic sunset views over the St. Lucie River. Along Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, and Palm City, waterfront properties blend luxury and lifestyle — ideal for boating families or anyone craving that “dock-to-dinner” lifestyle.

Key insight: Waterfront homes tend to hold value even when the broader market adjusts. With inventory ticking up, buyers have a rare moment to find value in locations that were once nearly impossible to enter.

Beyond the Home — The Lifestyle Advantage

The Treasure Coast isn’t just a place to live; it’s a place to thrive.

From deep-sea fishing and paddleboarding to golf, sailing, and tennis, this region is built for active living. Families love the abundance of parks, clean beaches, and family-friendly neighborhoods. Retirees enjoy vibrant social clubs, local festivals, and world-class marinas.

The region also shines in sports and recreation. The Play Treasure Coast Sports Commission draws national attention, hosting tournaments and community events throughout the year. Combine that with the area’s growing pickleball scene, waterfront dining, and boutique shopping, and you’ve got a coastal lifestyle that blends energy, relaxation, and opportunity.

My advice: Don’t just sell your home — sell the dream of waking up every day where people come to vacation.

Smart Strategy for Today’s Buyers and Sellers

• Buyers:

  • With more inventory and slower price growth, now’s your moment.

  • Be pre-approved, work with a local expert, and move decisively when the right property appears.

  • For waterfront buyers, always review flood zones, insurance costs, and dockage details.

• Sellers:

  • The key now is positioning. Overpricing kills momentum in a balanced market.

  • Lean on professional marketing — drone photography, lifestyle video, and storytelling that makes buyers feel the home before they step inside.

  • Highlight value through uniqueness: acreage, upgrades, or location advantage.

The goal: Stand out, not blend in. Homes that tell a story — especially waterfront and lifestyle-driven properties — continue to command premium attention.

Why the Treasure Coast Is Still a Golden Opportunity

The rest of Florida might be slowing, but the Treasure Coast stands apart. Our communities still offer better value per square foot, lower density, and a more relaxed pace than crowded South Florida markets — yet we’re close enough to everything that matters.

Whether you’re looking for a luxury waterfront retreat, a family home with room to grow, or a smart investment in a market with steady upside, this coast continues to deliver.

And as interest rates ease and the snowbird season returns, expect renewed activity through winter and early 2026. The buyers are coming — the question is whether you’re ready to act.
