The Port St. Lucie Market

A Treasure Coast city
with flat prices and long timelines.

Redfin describes Port St. Lucie as a somewhat competitive housing market. In February 2026, the median sale price was about $400,000, down 2.8 percent year over year, and homes sold in around 87 days on average compared with 91 days a year earlier.

The median sale price per square foot was about $221, down 1.8 percent year over year. Redfin notes that homes receive about two offers on average; multiple offers are rare, and typical homes sell for roughly 6 percent below list price and go pending in around 100 days.

In January 2026, local Redfin-based reporting put starter-tier medians near the mid-$300Ks, with economists projecting that affordability should slowly improve in 2026 and beyond. Submarkets like ZIP 34952 show slightly lower medians — around $338,000 in March 2026, down 3.6 percent year over year, with homes selling in about 81 days on average.
