Tavernier sits at the top of the Florida Keys in Monroe County, a working island town where the pace slows and the water is never far. The community around Plantation Key mixes old-Keys neighborhoods like Pearl City with quiet residential streets, all anchored by Plantation Key School and easy access to the reef and backcountry that define this stretch of Highway 1.
The market here is small and tightly held — right now there are just two active listings, with a median list price of $712,500 and homes ranging from $500,000 to $925,000. Inventory moves slowly at a median of 278 days on market, but sellers who found buyers over the past year got about 98% of asking. If you want to browse by price or catch a just reduced listing, patience and readiness both matter in a town this scarce on supply.

How is the Tavernier market?+
It's a very thin market — only two active listings and three sales in the past 12 months. Homes take time to move, with a median of 278 days on market, but sellers still averaged about 98% of their asking price.
