Stuart is the county seat of Martin County and the hub of the Treasure Coast, sitting where the St. Lucie River meets the Indian River Lagoon. It's also where HomeSaver Real Estate is based. Wayne Gebhardt has helped buyers and sellers here since 1999, so this page is written from the inside.
Stuart is known as the "Sailfish Capital of the World," a title the city adopted in 1957. Today it's just as known for its walkable historic downtown, with locally owned shops and restaurants, the Lyric Theatre and a riverwalk along the St. Lucie. Across the causeways on Hutchinson Island are Stuart Beach, near the Elliott Museum and Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center, and Bathtub Reef Beach, where a nearshore reef creates calm, shallow water at low tide.

Questions Stuart Buyers Ask
Should I buy a condo or a house? Condos make up a large share of Stuart's inventory. With a condo you're buying into the association too, so review its budget, reserves, recent inspections, insurance and any current or planned special assessments before your deadlines pass. Read more about buying a condo in Stuart.
What about insurance and flood zones? Much of Stuart is on or near the water. Ask early for the property's flood zone, roof age and any wind-mitigation report, and get insurance quotes during your inspection period, not after.
Are there bank-owned or foreclosure homes in Stuart? A few at any given time, and they move quickly. Wayne has worked REO and bank-owned listings since 2008. See current foreclosure listings or ask him to watch for new ones.
Which schools serve Stuart? Stuart is in the Martin County School District. School assignment depends on the exact address, so check the district's school locator for any home you're considering.

Selling a Home in Stuart?
