Listing description

About this home

Located in The Soundings, this waterfront residence is currently under construction with an anticipated completion date of late September to early October, presenting a rare opportunity to own a newly built 4-bedroom plus office home in one of Hobe Sound's most desirable boating communities. Situated along the canal with ocean access, no fixed bridges, and designed around its waterfront setting, the home will offer approximately 3,860 square feet under air, along with a private pool, spa, and spacious outdoor living areas that take full advantage of life on the water. The open-concept floor plan centers around a large great room, kitchen, and dining area that seamlessly connect to the covered lanai, pool, and spa.

The first-floor primary suite provides privacy and convenience, while the second floor features additional bedrooms, a game room, office, and covered balcony. Whether you're heading out for a day on the water, entertaining poolside, or simply enjoying the peaceful canal views from your backyard, this home was designed to maximize everything that makes waterfront living so desirable. New construction also provides the advantages of modern building standards, impact glass, and the peace of mind that comes with owning a home built to today's standards.

Residents of The Soundings enjoy a true boating lifestyle with convenient access to the Intracoastal Waterway, nearby sandbars, waterfront restaurants, fishing, and nearby beaches. New construction opportunities in Hobe Sound are limited, and newly built waterfront homes are even rarer. Combining the benefits of waterfront living with the advantages of new construction, this is a unique opportunity to own a brand-new waterfront home in a location where opportunities like this seldom become available.

⚠️

Property taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.

Current owner’s estimated bill $6,425/yr ($535/mo) — taxable value $415,393 × 15.47 mills
$60,625 more each year
(+944%)

Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.

How it stacks up

Comparable recent sales

6 closed sales within about 10 miles in Martin County in the last 18 months — same property type, living area within 30% of this home. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Median of these 6 sales: $1,527,500 ($393/sq ft). Directional only — a small or wide-radius sample. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.

The Messtimate™

The Messtimate

This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.

$748,840the mess$2,389,340

Directional estimate — 6 comparable closed sales within about 10 miles in Martin County, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.

Actual list price: $4,385,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.

A 219% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:

  • Condition & finishes — as new construction, builder upgrades and finish level aren't in a sq ft number.
  • The lot — this listing is waterfront; water frontage is priced far off a per-sq-ft average of the neighborhood.
  • Outliers skew it — the band above comes from 6 nearby sales; one flip or distressed sale moves the whole $/sq ft.
  • Carrying costs & concessions — this home carries HOA dues of $324/mo; with insurance and any seller-paid buydown, that changes what a buyer actually pays, and a sq ft estimate ignores all of it.
  • The pool — a private pool carries cost and value that living area doesn't capture.

And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:

  • 607 active listings competing, 153 under contract

For reference, this home is listed at $4,385,000 ($1,136/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 8967 SE Star Island Way, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • New construction: get the builder's warranty terms and the certificate of occupancy in writing, and ask which finishes shown are upgrades.
  • HOA dues are listed at $324/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
  • FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
  • Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Martin County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
  • Private pool: confirm the barrier or alarm meets the state residential pool safety code and ask for pump, heater, and resurfacing records.
  • Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
  • Listed living area is 3,860 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
  • Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
  • Review permit history with the county.
  • Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $67,050/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $60,625 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+944%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
  • School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions

How big is 8967 SE Star Island Way and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 8967 SE Star Island Way was built in 2026 and has 3,860 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.

What community is 8967 SE Star Island Way in?

8967 SE Star Island Way is in The Soundings in Hobe Sound, Martin County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.

Does 8967 SE Star Island Way have an HOA, and how much are the dues?

The listing reports HOA dues of $324 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.

Why might property taxes on 8967 SE Star Island Way differ from the current owner's?

The estimate on this page (about $67,050 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $60,625 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+944%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.

Is 8967 SE Star Island Way in a flood zone?

The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.

Can I rely on the figures on this page?

No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
