Frequently Asked Questions
- How many homes are for sale in The Retreat?
- There are 6 active listings for sale in The Retreat right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract. Prices cluster fairly closely, with the top of the market about 1.8 times the entry level. Ask us to set up a search alert and you will see new The Retreat listings the day they reach the market.
- What is the median home price in The Retreat?
- The median list price in The Retreat is $487,000, or roughly $319 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of The Retreat homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $425,000 to $749,000. The median sits in the lower part of that range, so most The Retreat homes are nearer the entry level and a few high-end listings pull the top up. We can pull recent comparable sales to price a specific home more precisely.
- What price range do homes in The Retreat cover?
- Homes for sale in The Retreat currently range from about $425,000 at the entry level to $749,000 at the top of the market. That spread reflects lot size, square footage, and finish level across the single-family homes here, with the median list price around $487,000. The spread is tight, which usually points to a consistent housing stock rather than a mix of sizes and eras. Tell us your budget and must-haves and we will send the The Retreat listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in The Retreat?
- Homes in The Retreat are averaging 75 days on market, measured from the day a listing goes live to the day it goes under contract. That is a measured pace, which usually leaves buyers room to negotiate and makes pricing at the outset matter more for sellers. Days on market in The Retreat also shift with the season and with how a home is priced, so a sharply priced listing can still sell well ahead of the average.
- Are there lakefront homes in The Retreat?
- Yes. Many The Retreat homes back onto community lakes, and lake-view lots are common in current listings. The water here is inland lake frontage rather than Intracoastal or ocean access, so do not expect navigable water or boat dockage.

Market & Value
The Retreat market and home values
Values in The Retreat track the community's own sales more closely than any broad regional number. The median list price in The Retreat is around $487,000, or roughly $319 per square foot. That is close to the Martin County median, so The Retreat tracks the broader local market rather than sitting at an extreme. Recent asking prices have run from $425,000 to $749,000, so the home you choose within The Retreat matters as much as the community average. Homes here have recently taken about 75 days to go under contract, a useful gauge of how quickly the The Retreat market is moving. For pricing an offer or a listing, comparable sales within The Retreat carry more weight than any headline number, since homes of the same type and size set the real range. Pure Equity can pull the active and recently sold homes in The Retreat so you work from real numbers, not an estimate.
How It Compares
The Retreat compared to nearby Hobe Sound communities
The Retreat sits 5 of 7 on median price among these Hobe Sound communities. Price per square foot is the fairer comparison between communities, because it adjusts for the fact that one neighborhood builds bigger homes than another. Days on market shows how quickly each one is actually selling.

Who It Suits
Is The Retreat right for you?
A quick read on who fits The Retreat saves time before you visit. The Retreat suits a range of buyers, from first-time owners to move-up families, who want a home in Hobe Sound with the everyday conveniences of the area close by. A lake view is a common ask here, since many The Retreat lots back onto water without the flood exposure of a coastal address. On price, The Retreat lands in the middle of the market, a common fit for move-up buyers and full-time residents. Whether The Retreat is right for you depends on how you plan to use the home, full time or seasonally, and Pure Equity can walk you through the tradeoffs before you commit.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Living in The Retreat
Many homesites in The Retreat back onto community lakes, so lake views and water frontage are common here even though the community sits inland.
Location
The Retreat location
The Retreat is located in Hobe Sound, part of Martin County, Florida. Residents are close to the shopping, dining, schools, and parks of the Hobe Sound area, with the wider job centers, beaches, and airports of the region within driving distance.
Buying in The Retreat
Buying a home in The Retreat
Buying in The Retreat follows the same path as the rest of Martin County. Getting a mortgage pre-approval first tells you your real budget and lets you move quickly when the right home comes up. Property taxes factor into the monthly payment: the median annual property tax in Martin County is about $3,120. Florida's homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise from year to year. Budget for homeowners insurance as well. Rates in Florida reflect wind and flood exposure, so gather quotes early and check whether a specific address sits in a FEMA flood zone. Once you are under contract, plan for a home inspection and, if you are financing, a lender appraisal, both of which fall inside the inspection period. Working with an agent who knows Hobe Sound means you see new listings in The Retreat the day they reach the market.
Selling in The Retreat
Selling a home in The Retreat
A successful sale in The Retreat comes down to pricing, presentation, and marketing. List prices in The Retreat currently center around $487,000, which is a starting reference for where a comparable home might be positioned. Homes that are decluttered, professionally photographed, and priced to recent comparable sales tend to draw the most interest in the first two weeks, when a listing is newest and gets the most views. Florida sellers usually pay the documentary stamp tax on the deed, currently $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in most counties, along with prorated property taxes and, by local custom in many areas, the owner's title insurance policy. We provide a no-obligation home valuation for The Retreat owners in Hobe Sound, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.
Thinking of Selling?
What is your The Retreat home worth?
Online estimates miss what makes a home different. Tell us about yours and a licensed listing agent will send you a pricing opinion based on what has actually closed near you in The Retreat.
Listing agents and seller representation in The Retreat
Thinking about selling in The Retreat? The agent you pick shapes two numbers: what your home closes for, and how long it takes. A listing agent, also called a seller's agent, prices the property against what has actually closed nearby. They also prepare and market it, screen the offers that arrive, and negotiate the terms rather than just the price.
Conditions in The Retreat currently favor sellers, which is exactly when overpricing does the most damage. A strong market still punishes a listing that starts too high, because the early weeks draw the most qualified buyers and a home that goes stale invites lower offers later. Homes here are averaging about 75 days from listing to accepted offer, so build that into your moving timeline.
Community-level detail matters most here. Association rules, what the fees cover, and which buildings sell fastest all affect your outcome. So does whether a buyer needs board approval before closing. None of it appears in a listing description. All of it decides whether a sale closes on time.
Pure Equity is a licensed Florida brokerage serving The Retreat. Onias Derilus is the broker of record, Florida Real Estate Broker license BK3276618. A broker holds a higher license than an agent working under one. In practice that means the person advising you on price is also the one legally responsible for the file. That matters most when a deal gets complicated.

Realtors and real estate agents serving The Retreat
People search for realtors, real estate agents, and real estate brokers more or less interchangeably. For most purposes the job title matters less than licensing and representation. Every licensed agent in Florida works under a broker. That broker carries final responsibility for the transaction.
What separates real estate professionals in The Retreat is specificity. Can they answer questions about your street, not just your city? Ask what they have closed nearby and how they arrived at a price. A grounded answer cites particular recent sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. Vague reassurance is the warning sign.

Buyer's agents in The Retreat
A buyer's agent represents the purchaser rather than the owner. They identify properties that actually fit and research what comparable homes sold for, not what they asked. They also advise on offer strategy. Finally, they manage inspection and financing deadlines through to closing.
Where sellers hold leverage, as they do in The Retreat, buyers often get one chance to put a well-structured offer forward, so preparation counts more than patience. If you are buying and selling at the same time, which is common for people moving within Martin County, sequencing the two is its own skill: contingencies, timing, and what happens if one closing slips all need planning before either home goes on the market.
What representation costs
Real estate commissions are negotiable. No law, multiple listing service, or association sets them. If an agent tells you there is a standard rate, they are misinforming you. What you pay is agreed between you and the brokerage you hire. Get it in writing before the work begins.
Industry rules changed in 2024. Now a buyer and their agent must put compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes together. Sellers may still offer to contribute toward the buyer's side. However, that is negotiated rather than assumed. It is worth thinking through with your listing agent before you go live.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a listing agent in The Retreat?
Ask any listing agent you interview two questions. Which homes have they closed near The Retreat, and how did they arrive at their suggested price? A grounded answer names recent closed sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. With a median around $487,000 here, the gap between realistic pricing guidance and optimistic guidance is real money. Verify the license too. Florida licenses are public and searchable through the state's DBPR portal. Pure Equity is a licensed brokerage serving Martin County. You can reach the broker directly at (561) 835-5400.
What does a seller's agent actually do?
A seller's agent prices the home against comparable closed sales. Before it goes live, they advise on repairs and presentation. Then they handle photography and marketing, and put the home in front of buyers and other agents. When offers arrive, they screen them and negotiate both price and terms. Terms matter as much as the number, because inspection windows, financing contingencies, and closing dates all affect whether an offer reaches the closing table.
How much does a real estate agent cost in The Retreat?
Commissions are fully negotiable. No law or real estate board sets them. What you pay is whatever you and your brokerage agree to in writing before work begins. Since the 2024 rule changes, buyers and their agents must agree compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes. Any seller contribution toward the buyer's side is negotiated rather than automatic. Ask any agent you interview to put their fee in writing.
What is the difference between a realtor, a real estate agent, and a broker?
A real estate agent holds a state license to represent buyers and sellers. A broker holds a higher-level license and can operate a brokerage. That broker also carries final legal responsibility for the office's transactions. Realtor is a membership term for agents belonging to the National Association of Realtors. For someone buying or selling in The Retreat, three practical questions matter. Is the person licensed, who do they represent in your transaction, and what can they actually tell you about your local market?
Do I need an agent to buy a home in The Retreat?
You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in The Retreat do. A buyer's agent handles the parts that are easy to get wrong. That means identifying what comparable homes actually closed for, spotting condition or association issues early, and managing inspection and financing deadlines. In a competitive market that guidance matters more, because you often get one chance to put your best offer forward.
Can one agent help me sell my current home and buy the next one?
Yes. For people moving within Martin County it is often the more practical route, because one person coordinates both timelines. Sequencing is the hard part. Should your purchase be contingent on your sale? How would you cover a gap if the closings do not line up? What happens if one side is delayed? Plan all of that before either home is listed, rather than after an offer arrives.
