Limitations

Counts come from the change log of our live Beaches MLS feed, which records a change when our refresh sees it. A listing that changed more than once in a category within a window is counted once, and a change that happened and reversed between refreshes may be missed. Contracts are listings moving from active to pending or active under contract. The earlier window is 13 days, so comparisons use daily rates where noted. Our Beaches MLS feed does not cover Indian River County, so this article covers St. Lucie and Martin counties only, and it does not include listings entered only in other MLS systems. Active and pending counts are a live map snapshot from October 26, 2026 and can differ from monthly reports. Figures may be revised as the MLS updates records. This article is general information, not advice about any specific property or transaction.
