The Estuary of Stuart Florida, located in North Stuart, Florida and often mistaken for being a part of Jensen Beach Florida is a gated community with a variety of homes ranging from condos to 1980’s vintage homes, to newer villas as well as waterfront homes with deep water docks.
The Estuary of Stuart Florida is very conveniently located on the banks of the North Fork of the Saint Lucie River, just minutes from the Treasure Coast Mall and the shopping and dining areas of the US-1 corridor in Jensen Beach.

Different sections of the Estuary include well appointed 2 and 3 bedroom condos with pool and lake views.  A select number of condos have mile wide river views of the Saint Lucie River.  An inland section of varying styles, sizes and shapes of homes built from the early 1980’s and also called River Shores Plantation.  In 2002, a section of the Estuary was added with villas and smaller single family homes on Tillia Trail with their own community pool.  Larger single family homes were also added at this time along Estuary Court, Plumbago Trail and the western section of NW 21’st Terrace.  This section also boasts a community dock suitable for good sized vessels with ocean access just a few minutes away at the Saint Lucie Inlet.   Homes on Plumbago Trail also enjoy spectacular wide water views.  The Estuary is truly a wonderful place to call home.

(September 2018 also had a 3.6 month supply)  A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.  Inventory continues to decrease which is putting pressure on rising prices and lower sales volume.

Hobe Sound Real Estate Snapshot for ZIP Code 33455, Condo Sales for September 2019

5 Condos sold in September. (Unchanged from August)

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report September 2019

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  As a result, it is difficult to track such small numbers though this market remains quite active.

The absorption rate for Hobe Sound condos was 2.0 months for September (it was 1.8 months for August).  Absorption rates in this segment of the Martin County real estate market should be taken with a liberal grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes in percentages that do not reflect a true trend in the market. An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The September 2018 numbers were: 7 active listings, 1 pending sales, and 3 closed sales.  It’s difficult to make meaningful comparisons with last year when there’s such a small sampling of condos in Hobe Sound.   While, there was some increased activity this year.
