Five licensed mobile home communities in Hobe Sound, holding 425 lots. Hobe Sound Mobile Home Park has 127, Hobe Village Partners Llc 123, Florida Evangelistic Association 70, Angle In Mobile Court 60 and Twin Rivers Mobile Home Park 45.
Unusually even. No single community sets the price for the town, which makes this a harder market to value than the lot count suggests, in one of the most expensive counties in Florida.

Five similar communities, and none of them dominant

When one park holds most of a town, everybody prices against that park. Here the largest holds 127 lots and the rest trail close behind, so no single community produces enough sales in a year to anchor anything.
That matters more in Martin County than it would inland. A buyer here is often paying to be near this stretch of coast in a place where nothing else is affordable, and that premium attaches to the community and its location rather than to the age of the home. Valuing a Hobe Sound home on square footage and build year, the way a general agent would, gets the answer wrong in both directions.
We weight to your community first, then to comparable Martin County closings, and we tell you which sales carried the most weight.
We produce the number first, free
Fill in the form and we will call you, ask about the home, its age, condition and lot rent, and produce a full Comparative Market Analysis: comparable closings, what is competing with you right now, and a recommended list price with the reasoning written out.
No obligation, and the figures are yours whether you list with us or not. Then compare a listing to a cash sale on your own arithmetic.

What it costs
A flat $2,500, paid only when the home sells. Nothing up front, nothing if it does not sell, no percentage of the price. In a county where values run well above the state average that distinction is worth real money, because a commission grows with the price of your home and a flat fee does not.
Thirty day agreement rather than six months.
Professional photography with drone coverage, a written listing in English and Spanish, syndication to twelve platforms including Zillow and MHVillage, buyer screening before anybody walks through, negotiation and park approval handled for you, and a written performance report every week: views, calls, showings, and how the listing is doing against the market.
Closings are handled entirely online, which suits the many owners here who are only in Florida part of the year. That is what happens after you call us.
Approval is the step that decides it
All five communities screen buyers, and one of them is a church-affiliated community with its own requirements on top. Income, background, references, sometimes an interview, and none of the timing published anywhere you could look up.
A buyer who cannot clear the office is not a buyer. We screen before anybody walks through your home and we handle the application afterwards, because on a thirty day agreement that step is frequently the whole difference between closing and expiring.
It is also worth understanding mobile home financing in Florida before you set a price, because what a buyer can borrow decides how many buyers you actually have.
If the home has to leave the lot
There are mobile homes on private land around Hobe Sound as well as in the five communities, and small parks on valuable coastal ground do occasionally get sold and redeveloped.
Either way, if the lot is not going with the home, the buyer takes it away. That is what we list when the park or landowner wants it gone, with the land not for sale and the buyer paying for and arranging the move. Florida will not permit relocating a home built before June 15, 1976, so the build date settles it first.
More than half the searching for this area comes from people wanting to buy rather than sell. The homes we have on the market are on My State MLS, statewide rather than a Hobe Sound list, and it changes as homes come and go.
We are a licensed Florida mobile home broker, and we also work mobile homes in Jensen Beach and mobile homes in Stuart.
