Buyer Guide
Buying new construction in Martin County
Buying new construction in Martin County in 2026
Martin County continues to be one of the Treasure Coast's most active new-construction markets. Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, and Hobe Sound combine preserved coastline with selective new construction — ideal for buyers prioritizing lifestyle and appreciation over pure new-build volume. If you're relocating from out of state, expect builder timelines from contract to closing of roughly 7–11 months, with most national builders requiring an initial deposit of 5–10% and design-center selections within the first 30 days.
Pricing & inventory you'll see today
New homes in Martin County currently span attainable single-family communities in the $300s to luxury estates well above $1M. Floor plans tend to favor single-story 3-4 bedroom homes with 2-3 car garages — popular with retirees and relocating families alike. Quick-move-in inventory exists but moves fast; the deepest selection is usually in the to-be-built phase.
What to verify before signing
Confirm CDD vs. HOA fees (Florida master-planned communities often layer both), the builder's hurricane and warranty coverage, lot premiums, and design-center allowances. Always tour at least one finished model and ask for a copy of the standard features sheet — what's "included" varies dramatically between builders.
Why work with a buyer's agent
Florida law lets builders register your representation only if your agent is with you on your first visit. Bringing a Treasure-Coast-focused agent costs you nothing (the builder pays) and gives you an advocate during contract review, design selections, and pre-closing inspections — three places where most buyers leave money on the table.
Current incentives: Incentives in Martin County tend to be smaller than in St. Lucie or Brevard but can still include closing-cost contributions and rate buydowns on quick-move-in inventory.
What buyers say about Martin County
