Market Updates

# Treasure Coast New Construction Market Update

April 1, 2026 6 min read

Florida's Treasure Coast continues to outperform the rest of the state for new construction activity, with builders delivering thousands of new homes across Brevard, Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin counties. Here's what buyers should expect heading into the second half of 2026.

## Inventory is finally catching up

After three years of tight supply, national builders, Lennar, D.R. Horton, Maronda, LGI, and Adams, have brought significant new inventory online across Port St. Lucie, Palm Bay, and Fort Pierce. Most master-planned communities now have 30–90 day move-in homes available, a meaningful shift from the 9–12 month build times of 2023–2024.

## Pricing has stabilized, not dropped

Base prices in most communities have held steady year-over-year, but **incentives have grown dramatically.** Rate buydowns to the high 4s, $10K–$25K closing-cost credits, and free design-center upgrades are widely available. The effective price reduction is 4–8% in most communities, even when sticker prices haven't moved.

## County-by-county snapshot

- **Brevard (Palm Bay, Micco)**, Best affordability on the Treasure Coast. New construction starts in the low $300Ks. Maronda and LGI lead the volume.
- **Indian River (Vero Beach, Sebastian)**, Strongest appreciation. New waterfront and golf-community product from GHO Homes is driving premium pricing.
- **St. Lucie (Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce)**, The volume leader. Tradition, Wylder, and Veranda Gardens continue to expand. Adams Homes continues to actively build at the long-established Waterstone community in Fort Pierce.
- **Martin (Stuart, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound)**, Lowest inventory, highest prices. Limited new construction; what comes online sells quickly.

## What buyers should do now

If you're financing, ask every builder about their preferred-lender rate buydown, it's almost always better than what your own lender can match. If you're paying cash, push hard on closing costs and design-center credits instead.
