Every Sale of the Quarter
All six sales fit in one table, and five of the six closed on the water. The waterfront sales ran from the Anchorage Point pair through the $8.2M closing at Seaglass, the beach tower that has become the benchmark for village condominiums, to the riverfront at River Ridge. The one inland sale, in Indian Hills, closed at $3.8M. The mix matters for a village wedged between Jupiter and the Martin County line: Tequesta's luxury market consists of the riverfront, the Intracoastal, and one beach tower, and every one of those segments recorded a sale this quarter.

The Anchorage Point Lesson
The pair deserves its own section, because a small market almost never produces two sales this directly comparable. The two estates stand on the same street, on the same deep water off the same point, and both closed in the same quarter. The first was priced right and went under contract in fifteen days at $13.8M, the village's largest recorded sale in the five-year record. The second needed nearly a year to go under contract and closed at $9.4M. Everything this publication has written about the original asking price, from the repricing study to the week-twelve survival curve, is visible on this one cul-de-sac. Location determines the price a home can reach. The asking price determines how long the sale takes.
Five Years in the Village
The five-year record shows how unusual the quarter was. Tequesta's annual luxury count drifted down from 23 closings in 2021 to 8 in 2024, and the constraint was supply rather than demand: the village's waterfront is small, tightly held, and more often rebuilt than sold. Six closings in a single quarter, with the record sale among them, suggests prices finally reached the point where longtime owners were willing to sell. Small coastal markets tend to grow in steps rather than in smooth trends, and this quarter was one of those steps.

Reading a Six-Sale Quarter
The caution that accompanies every small-market report applies doubly here. Six sales make any median unreliable, and the quarter's combined figures prove little on their own. The signals that hold up in a sample this small are the same ones that held up in Gulf Stream, another small coastal market: repeat sales at similar prices in the same pocket, fast contracts at the top of the price range, and the direction of overall volume. For buyers, the practical lesson comes from the Anchorage Point pair. The village produces only a handful of real waterfront opportunities a year. Buyers who prepare before the listing appears can go under contract in days, and everyone else negotiates with a seller who has already waited a year and priced accordingly.
The Three Markets Inside the Village
Tequesta's luxury market splits into three parts. The Loxahatchee riverfront, from Anchorage Point through River Ridge, is the estate tier: deep water with no fixed bridge to the inlet, and the setting for every record sale the village has produced. The Intracoastal pockets and the country club sections behind them make up the middle of the market. The beach corridor, shared with the southern tip of Jupiter Island, holds the condominium tier, where Seaglass has reset the top price a village condominium can reach. What Tequesta does not have is volume. The village adds almost no new supply, and the luxury tier changes hands only when a longtime owner decides to sell. That structure is why the village's numbers move in steps, and why a quarter like this one, with every part of the market recording a sale, reads as a genuine change in price levels rather than a busy season.
The luxury tier also sits on a modest base, and the proportion is part of the village's appeal. Tequesta recorded 212 closings across all price levels in 2025, at a median well under a million dollars, and most of those sales sit far below this report's threshold. The luxury tier is a thin waterfront layer on a small-town market, which is why the marinas, the river culture, and the un-gated streets remain intact while prices rise. Buyers who choose Tequesta over the corridor's gated alternatives are usually paying for exactly that character, and the record sale suggests sellers can now ask full value for it.
Bottom Line
Tequesta's quarter was small, fast, and record-setting at the same time: six sales, $43M in combined volume, a record $13.8M closing in fifteen days, and five years of history that show the village's tightly held waterfront finally reaching prices owners will accept. The market is no bigger than it was, but its prices have stepped higher.
For buyers watching Tequesta: Prepare before the listing exists. The village's best waterfront sells in days when priced right, and the alternative is negotiating with a seller who has already waited a year. The Anchorage Point pair shows both outcomes on one street.
This report covers every residential closing at $3,000,000 or above recorded in Tequesta from April 1 through June 30, 2026 (six sales), compared against the same quarter of 2025 (three sales), with five-year context from January 2021. All figures run through June 30, 2026. Cross-listed duplicate records are removed by address, close date, and price before any statistic is computed. In a market of roughly ten to twenty luxury sales a year, the median depends on which homes happened to sell, so it is presented alongside the underlying counts. Days on market measure list date to contract date.
