Locks Landing's median of $771K sits well above Stuart's broader market, reflecting the premium commanded by direct intracoastal access and deep-water dockage. The $322/ft² figure is condition- and position-driven: homes with modern updates and direct water frontage occupy the upper end of the market, while interior lots or dated interiors trade at steeper discounts. Inventory here is thin—just a handful of closings in the past twelve months—so pricing is set deal by deal rather than by a smooth curve.
The 20-day median time-on-market and 3.9% year-over-year gain signal a stable, selective market. Buyers who need the boating infrastructure and direct water are writing offers quickly when the right home appears; sellers with differentiated properties are capturing full value without chasing. This is not a community where you negotiate hard—it's one where you decide fast or miss the window.

🟡 Balanced market. 2.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Beaches MLS records, as of September 20, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 10 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($715K) is down 9.5% from the prior 12 months ($790K) and up 123% since 2012. With about 7 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Beaches MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 20.

Who Locks Landing is best for.
Best for
- Boaters requiring deep-water dockage and direct intracoastal access who can move decisively when inventory appears
- Buyers comfortable with the median near $771K and willing to pay a premium for finite waterfront supply
- Investors or second-home owners prioritizing dock infrastructure and water position over interior finishes or resort amenities
Probably not for
- Buyers seeking turnkey interiors, HOA amenities, or a neighborhood pool and clubhouse at this price level
- First-time waterfront buyers hoping for entry pricing or a wide selection—inventory here is thin and trades fast
- Anyone requiring interior lots or canal-only access who cannot justify the Locks Landing premium over comparable off-intracoastal alternatives

The Locks Landing buying strategy.
If we were buying in Locks Landing 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 Locks Landing.
The intracoastal scarcity premium
The median of $771K reflects a mix: waterfront homes with dockage that can accommodate larger vessels trade at the high end, while interior or canal-access parcels come in below that mark. The $322/ft² figure is not a per-foot price you can count on—it's the midpoint of a spread shaped by water position, dock configuration, renovation status, and lot size. A dated interior on a prime lot may trade closer to land value; a turnkey home with new seawall and lift commands a sharp premium.
With only twelve closings in the trailing year, Locks Landing behaves more like a private-treaty market than a liquid subdivision. Listings draw multiple showings in the first week, and serious buyers—especially those relocating with a boat—move decisively. The 20-day DOM is not a negotiating window; it's the time it takes a qualified buyer to complete due diligence on seawall condition, dock permitting, and title. Sellers who price to the last comparable close quickly; those who test the market sit.
The 141% gain since 2012 is a reflection of two forces: the broader Stuart waterfront recovery and the finite supply of deep-water residential dockage in Martin County. Locks Landing cannot expand, and the intracoastal corridor remains the most liquid segment of the local boating market. This is not a community where you buy hoping for quick appreciation—it's one where the asset is the water access itself, and price follows the replacement cost of that infrastructure.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Locks Landing. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
