Living in Tequesta: An Owner's Market Guide
Tequesta is in Palm Beach County, Florida. The Tequesta guide written by the brokerage that sells here: neighborhoods, everyday logistics, and what homes actually sold for last month.
The median single-family house in Tequesta has closed at $1,050,000 so far this year, 13.2% above the $927,500 of the same period last year, across 61 sales. Houses are running at about 3.0 months of supply and condos and townhomes at about 8.0 — and those two halves of the Tequesta market regularly move in different directions, which is why we never publish them blended. See what your home is worth.

What actually decides your sale price here
Tequesta is the last Palm Beach County address before the Martin County line, and that is exactly how buyers use it: county services and county schools of Palm Beach County, with the scale and quiet of the Treasure Coast. The village reports a median age of 46.4 and about 6,200 residents on its own community profile.
The Loxahatchee River is the pricing engine. Fixed bridges, dock permitting and river versus intracoastal access separate otherwise similar houses by a wide margin, and buyers moving here from outside the area routinely underestimate that.
It is small. A handful of sales in a quarter moves the median, so anyone reading Tequesta figures should look at the year alongside the month, which is how we publish them.
Before you list
- Roof age and insurance history. In this market the insurance quote is part of the negotiation, not an afterthought.
- Waterfront specifics. Dock permitting, bridge clearance and channel depth are value, not detail. Document them.
- Condominium reserves and milestone inspection status. A buyer's lender will ask. Knowing the answer first is worth money.
- The first asking price. It decides whether you sell in the first three weeks or spend three months getting back to the same number.
If your listing already failed
It is the most common situation we are called about, and it is almost never a marketing problem. See what the data says about Tequesta listings that did not sell.
Taxes and assessments
Millage is set by the Village of Tequesta together with Palm Beach County; the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser publishes the current rates. Special-district and non-ad valorem assessments are billed on top of that and vary by community, so the only number worth relying on is the actual bill for the actual address. Ask us and we will pull it before you write an offer. This is general information, not tax advice.

Living in Tequesta: questions and answers
Is now a good time to sell in Tequesta?
The median single-family house in Tequesta has closed at $1,050,000 so far this year, 13.2% above the $927,500 of the same period last year, across 61 sales. Houses are running at about 3.0 months of supply and condos and townhomes at about 8.0, and supply is the number that decides how much negotiating room a buyer has. The two halves of this market do not move together, so the answer depends on which one you own.
What do buyers in Tequesta ask about most?
Roof age, insurance history, and for waterfront property, dock permitting and bridge clearance. Have those documented before you list; every day spent finding them after an offer is a day of leverage lost.
What are property taxes like in Tequesta?
Millage is set by the Village of Tequesta together with Palm Beach County; the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser publishes the current rates. Non-ad valorem assessments for special districts are billed on top of ad valorem taxes, so ask for the actual tax bill on any address rather than working from a rate. This is general information, not tax advice.
Is Tequesta in Palm Beach or Martin County?
Tequesta is a village in Palm Beach County, immediately south of the Martin County line. Some adjacent addresses with Tequesta mailing addresses are in Martin County, which changes taxes and school assignment, so confirm the parcel's county before you rely on either.
