Lighthouse Pointe in Palm City commands a median price of $1,117,500 at $491.50 per square foot, positioning it among Martin County's most expensive waterfront enclaves. The pricing reflects direct Stuart Sound access, deep-water dockage, and the scarcity of buildable waterfront land in this stretch of the Intracoastal. Buyers here are paying for water and boat access first, finishes second.
The market is moving: homes are going under contract in 25.5 days, and year-over-year prices are down 2.8 percent after a decade of sustained appreciation. Ten closings in our window suggest limited turnover in a small, tightly held community. Sellers with realistic expectations are seeing activity; overpriced listings will sit.

Lighthouse Pointe is a low-density waterfront enclave on the Intracoastal Waterway in Palm City, prized for direct ocean access and deep-water dockage. Inventory is scarce, turnover is slow, and pricing reflects the premium for navigable water in Martin County.
Who Lighthouse Pointe is best for.
Best for
- Offshore boaters and anglers who want a private dock and fast ocean access without marina fees or bridge waits
- Buyers seeking a quiet, low-density waterfront lifestyle with no HOA and minimal through-traffic
- Investors or second-home buyers comfortable with condition variability and the patience required in a shallow resale market
Probably not for
- Buyers expecting resort-style amenities, clubhouse facilities, or a master-planned community feel
- First-time waterfront buyers unfamiliar with seawall maintenance, dock permitting, and flood-zone realities
- Anyone requiring frequent, predictable comps for financing or resale—ten closings per window means liquidity is limited

The Lighthouse Pointe buying strategy.
If we were buying in Lighthouse Pointe today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Lighthouse Pointe.
What you are paying for in Lighthouse Pointe
The median price of $1,117,500 buys Stuart Sound frontage and boat access to the Atlantic. Homes here sit on deep-water lots with private docks capable of handling serious offshore vessels; many properties feature seawalls, lifts, and direct Intracoastal exposure. You are not buying a golf-course address or resort amenities—you are buying water, privacy, and the ability to leave your dock and reach the inlet in minutes.
At $491.50 per square foot, condition and updates vary widely. Some homes are original construction with dated interiors; others have been completely remodeled with contemporary finishes and impact glass. The per-square-foot number reflects lot value more than house quality, so walk every listing carefully and budget for deferred maintenance if you are considering an older build.
The 25.5-day median time on market indicates that well-priced waterfront homes move quickly, even at this price tier. The 2.8 percent year-over-year decline is a modest correction after long-term appreciation; sellers who adjust to current comps are finding buyers, while those anchored to earlier appraisals are not. With only ten closings in our analysis window, each sale moves the median—so be cautious about treating any single number as gospel.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Lighthouse Pointe. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
