Active listings fell 9.1% year-over-year, while national inventory rose 5.4% over the same period. Less local supply means more competition for the homes that are listed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph hyperlocal-comparison-label\">PORT ST.

New listings slipped 0.7% year-over-year\u2014matching the national decline exactly. If you&#8217;re a buyer waiting on new listings to appear, that pipeline stayed tight.<\/p>\n<p>Prices slipped slightly but stayed above the national median<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Port St. Lucie held a pricing premium over the rest of the country even as values softened. The median list price dipped 0.8% year-over-year to $429,000\u2014a smaller decline than the national drop of 1.4%. Local prices remained above the national median of $419,250.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph hyperlocal-comparison-label\">PORT ST.

Roughly 19.3% of active listings had a price reduction\u2014below the national share of 20.8% and essentially unchanged from a year earlier. Sellers who priced competitively from the start largely held their ground.<\/p>\n<p>Homes took longer to sell than the national average<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Homes in Port St. Lucie sold slower than the national pace, which puts meaningful pressure on sellers to price right from day one. The median home spent 80 days on market\u2014down 7.5% year-over-year, but still well above the national median of 61 days. If you&#8217;re selling today, an inflated asking price risks a prolonged listing with little upside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph hyperlocal-comparison-label\">PORT ST.
