How long does it take to buy a house in Port St. Lucie in 2026?<\/p>\n

During the height of the pandemic in 2022, the typical home took less than a month to go from listed to under contract, creating the fastest housing market<\/a> in history. But since then, home prices and mortgage rates have climbed substantially, pricing out many would-be buyers and sellers and slowing the market<\/a> to a crawl.<\/p>\n

It’s not all bad news, though. Recently, more consumers have been testing the waters on the heels of slowly improving<\/a> affordability\u2014and buyers who are in the market are especially keen to take advantage of a slow and favorable landscape<\/a>. Buyers face less competition in most parts of the country, giving them more room to negotiate.<\/p>\n
