Over the past few months, Hobe Sound has seen up to 174 homes listed and around $548K median prices—showing a busy, competitive market. With 50% of homes now selling within 30 days, buyers and sellers are under huge pressure to close quickly. But speed shouldn’t compromise accuracy—especially when hidden liens or unpaid taxes can unexpectedly derail deals.

Title Clarity: Spotting Risks Before They Become Problems

Hobe Sound’s housing activity (median sales above $541K, homes selling in an average of 63 days compared to 79 last year) indicates strong buyer demand—but also more opportunities for overlooked title issues. These might include tax liens, unresolved financing, or court judgments. They may not show up in public searches, but they can cost weeks—or thousands of dollars—if discovered late in the process.
