EMERALD LAKES (Stuart, FL): 23 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-10, a 15-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

In the current window, sellers accepted a median 91.3% of original asking; the median sale took 67 days (window ending 2026-08-10).

The 15-year recorded price history

Over the recorded series, EMERALD LAKES’s median sold price moved from $77,800 (2012) to $277,900 (12 months ending 2026-08-10) — +257% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in EMERALD LAKES, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2012 at $77,800. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — EMERALD LAKES’s median moved +62% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2023 peak of $392,200, the current median stands at -29%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 4 to 23 closings a year (10-yr average 12.1). With roughly 12.1 closings a year, EMERALD LAKES’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.

Where EMERALD LAKES sales actually landed, 2024–2026

Of the 47 recorded EMERALD LAKES closings since 2024, half landed between $260,000 and $340,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $210,000 and the highest $452,500. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

What homes of your size have sold for in EMERALD LAKES

The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Price per square foot is nearly flat across sizes here ($217 to $218), so square footage alone explains most of the price spread.

For a seller this is the competition a buyer will tour alongside your home; for a buyer, the stale share is where negotiating room usually is. See the current EMERALD LAKES listings →

At EMERALD LAKES’s $277,900 median and Martin County’s adopted 15.47 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,300 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,690 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Martin County tax page.
