💰 Could buying in Port St. Lucie save you money each month?
Let’s run the numbers 👇
🏡 Port St. Lucie: $500,000 home
📉 6% interest | 30-year loan
💵 Approx. $36,000/year in principal & interest
🏡 Martin County: $600,000 home
📉 6% interest | 30-year loan
💵 Approx. $43,164/year in principal & interest
That’s a difference of about $6,164 per year, or roughly $513/month.
🚗 That could cover a car payment, groceries, or simply give you more room in your monthly budget.
Of course, this is a principal-and-interest comparison and doesn’t include taxes, insurance, HOA fees, or other ownership costs.
Would you rather have the $500K Port St. Lucie home or spend more for a $600K Martin County property?

Property taxes in Port St. Lucie are high—but does that actually mean it's more expensive to own a home there?
In this video, Alex Haigh breaks down how property taxes and millage work in Port St. Lucie and shows buyers how to use the county's property tax estimator before purchasing a home.
Then we compare two hypothetical purchases: a $500,000 home in Port St. Lucie and a $600,000 home in Martin County.
Even though the estimated property taxes may be higher on the Port St. Lucie property, the lower purchase price means you're financing less money. Using Alex's example, that difference in mortgage principal can outweigh the difference in annual property taxes.
That's the piece buyers can miss when comparing communities based on taxes alone.
You'll learn how to:
• Understand what a millage rate actually means
• Estimate property taxes before buying
• Compare Port St. Lucie and Martin County beyond just the tax bill
• Think about mortgage cost and property taxes together
• Evaluate the total cost of buying similar homes in neighboring markets
Property taxes vary by property, taxing district, exemptions, assessed value, portability, and other factors. Estimates shown in this video are illustrative and should not be considered a final tax bill. The St. Lucie County Property Appraiser specifically cautions that taxes can change after a property transfers ownership.

🏡 Are property taxes really that high in Port St. Lucie?
It’s a question I hear a lot, and there’s some truth to it. Port St. Lucie has a higher millage rate than many Florida counties.
But here’s where it gets interesting 👀
A $500,000 home in Port St. Lucie can actually cost you less in property taxes than a $600,000 home in Martin County, even with the higher tax rate.
In this video, we break down what millage means, how to estimate your property taxes, and why the purchase price matters just as much as the tax rate.
📍 Port St. Lucie vs. Martin County
💰 $500K vs. $600K
📊 Let’s look at the numbers.
🎥 Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/Ci8ib_hLoHw
📉 Martin County’s inventory is moving in a big way.
Month’s supply of inventory dropped from 5.6 months in July 2025 to 3.7 months in July 2026.
That’s still considered a neutral market, but getting below 3 months would move the market into seller territory.
The takeaway? Don’t just follow the headlines or someone’s narrative. Look at the numbers. Look at the charts. 📊
The data can give you a clearer direction of where the market is heading.

📈 Martin County real estate is showing some serious movement.
July 2026 compared to July 2025:
🏡 Closed sales: +23.4%
💰 Median sale price: +4.3% to $599,900
💵 Dollar volume: +32.1% to $179.3M
More homes are selling, prices are moving up, and significantly more dollar volume is flowing through the market.
The numbers tell a different story than all the talk about a “terrible” market.
Are we past the bottom? The latest numbers are certainly showing signs of a changing market. 📊

🏡 Worried you’re overpaying for a home right now? You’re not alone.
But the numbers tell a more nuanced story. In St. Lucie County, single-family home sales actually increased year over year, from 505 closed sales in July 2025 to 517 in July 2026. 📈
So what does that mean for buyers?
There’s still opportunity across single-family homes, condos, and townhomes, and understanding the market data can help you make a more informed decision instead of waiting on the sidelines.

🏡 The market is shifting.
We’re currently in a more neutral market, but the numbers are showing movement toward a seller’s market.
📉 Months of inventory dropped from 5.7 in 2025 to 4.9 in July 2026, a 14% decrease in available supply.
As inventory tightens and prices begin to move up, buyers may want to pay attention to the opportunities available right now.
There are still opportunities out there. The question is whether you’ll find them before the market shifts further.

Are Florida home buyers overpaying in 2026 — or is the market quietly shifting while buyers are waiting?
In this Florida real estate market update, Alex breaks down the July 2025 vs. July 2026 housing data for St. Lucie County, Martin County, and Palm Beach County, including both single-family homes and condos/townhomes.
We're looking beyond the headlines at the numbers that actually matter: closed sales, median sale prices, total dollar volume, and months of inventory.
Across these South Florida and Treasure Coast markets, we're seeing some important trends: closed sales are increasing, sales volume is rising, and inventory has declined substantially in several categories. At the same time, opportunities still exist for buyers — particularly in markets where inventory remains elevated.
In this video, Alex covers:
🏡 St. Lucie County single-family homes
🏢 St. Lucie County condos & townhomes
🌴 Martin County single-family homes
🏘️ Martin County condos, villas & townhomes
🌊 Palm Beach County single-family homes
🏙️ Palm Beach County condos & townhomes
📊 Buyer vs. seller vs. neutral market conditions
💰 Whether today's buyers may actually be buying near or after the market bottom
📉 Why months of inventory matters when deciding when to buy
If you're considering buying a home, condo, villa, or townhome in Palm Beach County, Martin County, Port St. Lucie, Stuart, Palm City, Jupiter, or anywhere along Florida's Treasure Coast, these are the numbers you need to understand before making an offer.
The goal isn't simply to buy a house — it's to understand the market well enough to make a smart offer and not overpay.

📈 Are we past the bottom of the market?
Alex breaks down why he believes we may be seeing a shift, especially in condos and townhomes.
Total sales volume jumped 44% year over year, from $22.1M in July 2025 to $31.9M in July 2026. That kind of increase shows there are buyers actively coming back into the market.
The question now is whether this is the beginning of a stronger recovery or simply a bounce. 👀
