Cities below a threshold today are listed without that page and are added automatically the day they qualify.

Two different markets: single-family vs condo in Palm Beach County
Both price medians eased off June, but supply tightened on both sides — the mark of a seasonal summer slowdown in closings rather than a market turning. Single-family is the tightest it has been in 12 months at 3.7 months; condos finally broke below 7 months for the first time in the series. If you own one of each, you are still operating in two different markets.

The PBP Read
What the raw numbers actually mean — broker-owner analysis you will not find in the published releases.
- Read July as seasonal, not directional. The single-family median eased 5.7% from June to $660,090 and closings fell 9.9% to 1,336 — but July closings come from contracts written in May and June, after the spring family-buyer wave ends and while locals travel. Year over year the same numbers are up 7.6% and 12.7%, the 11th straight month of annual sales gains.
- Supply is the tell: 3.7 months, the tightest single-family reading in our 12-month series (down from 5.2 last August). Fewer closings with less inventory is not a softening market — it is a thinner summer trading window.
- The condo picture quietly improved. The median slipped 3.8% to $312,500, but condo supply fell to 6.7 months from 9.0 a year ago and closings are up 18.6% year over year. Condo buyers still have negotiating room; condo sellers have less competition than at any point in the last year.
- Sentiment check: 41 days to contract for single-family (fastest in the series), 95% of original list price received, and 47.7% of all buyers paying cash. Prepared, correctly priced homes are still moving quickly; overpriced listings are the ones that sit through the summer.

Key facts behind the numbers
- Cash is king: 47.7% of all Palm Beach County closed sales in July 2026 were cash — roughly double the national rate of about 26%. Cash covered 57.2% of condo sales and 41.2% of single-family sales. West Palm Beach ranks No. 1 in the U.S. for all-cash home buying (Redfin).
- Luxury is accelerating: sales of $1 million and up climbed 36.5% year over year, from 326 to 445 closings. Total dollar volume rose 41.6% to $2.2 billion.
- Supply is tightening: total active listings fell 21.1% year over year to 10,443. Single-family inventory is down 23.3% to 4,590 and condo inventory down 19.3% to 5,853.
- Distressed sales are near zero: just 0.3% of closings were short sales or bank-owned — a fundamentally healthy market.
- Rates and financing: the 30-year fixed mortgage averaged 6.54% in July 2026 (Freddie Mac). Condo financing remains the market’s chokepoint — only 21 of 2,397 South Florida condo buildings are FHA-approved (0.9%), and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ended the limited review option for many condo loans on August 3, 2026.

What this means if you’re selling in Palm Beach County
Single-family sellers still hold the leverage: 3.7 months of supply, 41 days to contract, and 95% of original list price received. The lower July median reflects the summer trading window, not lost value — year over year the median is up 7.6%. Condo sellers are in a better position than a year ago, with supply down to 6.7 months, but buyers still negotiate, and building financials, insurance costs, and pricing to the current month decide the outcome. August and September are also the pre-season second-home buying window in South Florida, which is why listings that go live now meet snowbird buyers shopping ahead of the winter season. To see what the July data means for your specific home, ask PBP Real Estate, LLC for the numbers on your street — not just the county.

Both are typical of the summer trading window: July closings come from contracts written after the spring buying wave. Year over year, the single-family median is up 7.6% and the condo median up 4.0%.
Is Palm Beach County a buyer's or seller's market right now?
Single-family homes are in a seller's market at 3.7 months of supply as of July 2026 - the tightest reading in 12 months, down from 3.9 in June. Condos and townhouses are balanced at 6.7 months of supply, down from 7.2 in June, so condo buyers keep some negotiating room.
What is the median home price in Palm Beach County?
The median single-family home price was $660,090 in July 2026, down 5.7% from June and up 7.6% year over year. The median condo price was $312,500, down 3.8% from June and up 4.0% year over year.
How long does it take to sell a house in Palm Beach County?
The median single-family home went under contract in 41 days in July 2026 (42 days in June), with a median total time to sale of 82 days. Condos took 69 days to contract and 112 days to close.
Are home prices in Palm Beach County going up or down?
Month to month both medians eased in July, which is normal for a South Florida summer. The 12-month direction is up: the single-family median rose from $630,000 in August 2025 to $660,090 in July 2026, with inventory down 23.3% year over year. Condo medians remain choppy, swinging between $285,000 and $345,000 over the past year.
Why are so many Palm Beach County homes bought with cash?
47.7% of July 2026 closings were all-cash - about double the national average of 26%. Wealth migration, second-home and investor demand, and equity-rich downsizers drive it; for condos specifically, 57.2% of July sales were cash, partly because condo financing is harder to obtain.
