Tequesta Real Estate Market Update – July 2026
Welcome to Tom Dunphy's Market Updates. As a Florida State-Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser (RD8755) and licensed real estate sales associate, I publish regular updates covering market trends, pricing, inventory, and local neighborhoods throughout Martin, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie Counties.
Tequesta Real Estate Market Update
Tequesta continues to be one of northern Palm Beach County's most sought-after residential communities. Its location along the Intracoastal Waterway, proximity to Jupiter Inlet, established neighborhoods, and limited land available for new development continue to attract buyers seeking both primary and seasonal residences.
As a Florida State-Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser, RD8755, with APPRAIS, and a licensed real estate sales associate with Fulton Grace Realty, I closely monitor residential market activity throughout Tequesta from both a valuation and real estate sales perspective.
Current Market Activity
MLS data over the past twelve months indicates that inventory has gradually increased while buyer demand has remained steady. Median sale prices have also increased during the most recent reporting period, although available inventory has expanded modestly.
The market was analyzed in three reporting periods:
| Reporting Period | Closed Sales | Active Listings | Months of Supply | Median Sale Price | Median Days on Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prior 7–12 Months | 108 | 66 | 3.7 | $620,000 | 65 |
| Prior 4–6 Months | 54 | 44 | 2.4 | $607,500 | 78 |
| Current 3 Months | 54 | 58 | 3.2 | $804,900 | 58 |
Although available inventory increased from 44 to 58 active listings, the market continues to reflect approximately three months of housing supply, indicating balanced conditions with continued buyer activity. Median sale prices increased to approximately $804,900, while median marketing time improved from 78 days to 58 days during the most recent three-month period.
What This Means for Sellers
Well-maintained homes that are competitively priced continue to receive strong buyer attention. While buyers have slightly more choices than they did earlier in the year, desirable properties in established neighborhoods continue to sell within reasonable marketing periods.
Pricing accurately from the beginning remains one of the most important factors influencing a successful sale.
What This Means for Buyers
Inventory has improved modestly, giving buyers additional opportunities to compare homes before making purchasing decisions.
Because Tequesta offers a diverse selection of condominiums, townhomes, waterfront residences, golf course communities, and traditional single-family neighborhoods, buyers should carefully compare each property's location, condition, amenities, and recent comparable sales.
Distressed Sales Remain Minimal
According to the Martin County REALTORS® of the Treasure Coast MLS, no foreclosures or short sales were reported within the Tequesta market during the past twelve months. Distressed properties are not influencing current market conditions.
Every Neighborhood Is Different
Tequesta is a relatively small community, but market conditions can still vary considerably depending on neighborhood, waterfront location, golf course proximity, property size, updates, and overall condition.
For that reason, buyers and sellers should avoid relying solely on citywide averages when evaluating an individual property.
