March 2025 Market Update: More Inventory, More Opportunity in St. Lucie County

March brought a breath of fresh air to the St. Lucie County real estate market—with more homes hitting the market and more opportunities for buyers to find “the one.” Compared to March 2024, we saw a 6.6% increase in new listings, bringing the total to 770 this year. More choices mean less pressure for buyers to rush into decisions and more room to negotiate.

That’s not the only shift. The median time to contract has jumped to 56 days, a 36.6% increase from last year. What does that mean for you? Whether you’re buying or selling, we’re no longer in the lightning-speed market of the past couple years—we’re shifting toward a buyer’s market.

With active listings up 43.1% year-over-year and a months’ supply of 6.3, buyers are gaining some serious leverage. But sellers, don’t worry—well-priced, move-in ready homes are still getting strong attention. The key? Strategy. And that’s where I come in.

Navigating a changing market can feel like hiking uphill in a Florida summer—but you’ve got a guide. Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just want the latest local scoop, I’m your real estate Sherpa (minus the yak, plus the caffeine).
