St. Lucie County Total Sales Rise
Total St. Lucie County sales increased 9.2% year-over-year in June 2026, from 575 to 628.
The sales total doesn’t include South Florida’s new construction, pre-construction and condo conversion sales because they are largely not reported in the MLS. But MIAMI led the charge to publish two new construction reports.
International buyers purchased 49% of new South Florida construction, pre-construction and condo conversion sales over an 18-month period ending in July 2025, according to MIAMI REALTORS® first-ever New Construction Global Sales Report in collaboration with industry leaders.
Our second New Construction Global Sales Report, published in November 2025, showed an increase in global sales and buyers from 73 countries, according to the MIAMI REALTORS® November 2025 Global Sales Report in collaboration with industry leaders.
St. Lucie County Single-Family, Condo Transactions Climb
St. Lucie County single-family home sales increased 8.28% year-over-year in June 2026, from 483 to 523.
St. Lucie County existing condo sales increased 14.13% year-over-year in June 2026, from 92 to 105.
The lack of Federal Housing Administration loans for many existing South Florida condominium buildings is preventing further market strengthening. Of the 2,397 condominium buildings in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, only 21 are approved for FHA loans, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Just 0.9% of South Florida condo buildings are approved for FHA loans.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are eliminating the limited review option for many condo loans beginning Aug. 3, 2026. For decades, Florida condominium borrowers and owners faced stricter lending standards and higher financing hurdles than those in many other states. The updated guidelines are expected to create a more transparent and financially secure lending environment.
St. Lucie County Median Sale Prices
Condo prices decreased 6.56% year-over-year in June 2026, from $299,553 to $279,900.
Martin County single-family home median sale prices increased 2.31% year-over-year in June 2026, from $390,000 to $399,000.
MIAMI REALTORS® + RWorld continues to support cross-sector stakeholder solutions – like removing obstacles to permitting and zoning, funding the Florida Hometown Heroes Program, and creating pathways for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) – to facilitate both the creation and preservation of safe and affordable housing.
South Florida’s surging multifamily market and the Florida Live Local Act should boost affordability in the future. Southeast Florida ranks No. 1 in the U.S. for most multifamily construction, according to MIAMI REALTORS® Research. This is important because it adds more overall housing/apartment supply to a city, creates more affordability and adds to Miami’s economic growth.
Florida’s Live Local Act, which was passed in 2023 and amended in May 2024, is encouraging developers to build more affordable housing. The Live Local Act gives developers the highest density allowed in a local area if they allocate 40% of its units for affordable housing. The state law defines an affordable unit as being at or below 120% of an area’s median income.
South Florida remains a bargain in comparison to other global cities. For $1M, homebuyers can purchase 58 square meters of prime property in Miami, according to the 2026 Knight Frank Wealth Report. That is almost four times more than Monaco (16 square meters), nearly two times more than New York (34) and London (33) and more than Paris (37), Tokyo (37) and more.
Elevated Mortgage Rates
Mortgage rates are trending up because of rising energy prices, inflation, and geopolitical events. According to Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 6.49% in June 2026.
“While sales broadly rose across price tiers, the million-dollar segment continued to outperform, with June sales up 40% from one year ago, a clear indication of the acceleration in wealth migration to South Florida,” MIAMI REALTORS® + RWorld Chief Economist Gay Cororaton said.
Total St. Lucie County Inventory Declines
Total active listings at the end of June 2026 decreased 12.9% year-over-year, from 3,372 to 2,937. Decreasing supply means more buyer competition and upward price pressure.
Inventory of single-family homes decreased 10.76% year-over-year in June 2026 from 2,536 active listings last year to 2,263 last month.
Condominium inventory decreased 19.38% year-over-year in June 2026, from 836 to 674 listings during the same period in 2025, but the total is still significantly below pre-pandemic.
Months’ supply of inventory for single-family homes is 4.9 months, which indicates a seller’s market. Inventory for existing condominiums is 8.3 months, which indicates a balanced market. A balanced market between buyers and sellers offers between six- and nine-months supply.
Nationally, total housing inventory is 1.65 million units, according to NAR. That is up 1.3% from June 2025. There is 4.6-month supply of unsold inventory, unchanged from one year ago.
St. Lucie County Real Estate: $81 Million in Local Economic Impact
Every time a home is sold it impacts the economy: income generated from real estate industries (commissions, fees and moving expenses), expenditures related to home purchase (furniture and remodeling expenses), multiplier of housing related expenditures (income earned as a result of a home sale is re-circulated into the economy) and new construction (additional home sales induce added home production).
The total economic impact of a typical Florida home sale is $129,000, according to NAR. St. Lucie County sold 628 homes in June 2026 for a local economic impact of $81 million.
St. Lucie County total dollar volume increased 14.88% year-over-year in June 2026 to $270 million.
Single-family home dollar volume increased 14.60% year-over-year to $233 million. Condo dollar volume increased 11.99% year-over-year to $31 million.

St. Lucie County Cash Buyers More than National Figure
Cash sales represented 28.2% of St. Lucie County closed sales in June 2026, compared to 27.7% in June 2025. About 25% of U.S. home sales are made in cash, according to the latest NAR statistics.
Cash buyers are not deterred by rising rates. The high percentage of cash buyers reflects South Florida’s top position as the preeminent American real estate market for foreign buyers, who tend to purchase with all cash as well as some moving from more expensive U.S. markets who can buy more with their profits from real estate sales.
Cash sales accounted for 47.6% of all St. Lucie County existing condo sales and 24.3% of single-family transactions.
