Every median names its window and sale count. Counts are always monthly.

What these statistics mean if you are selling in Palm Beach

In a market of 386 sales a year, one asking price that misses the market is visible to every buyer's agent working Palm Beach. Houses still for sale have been listed a median 167 days against 113 days for the houses that sold (August 2026). Condos and townhouses still for sale have been listed a median 125 days against 98 days for the condos and townhouses that sold (August 2026). The useful question before listing is not what the highest number is that the market might accept, but what first asking price sells inside the sold-homes clock rather than the for-sale clock. That is the question a comparative market analysis from PBP Real Estate answers, house by house, from the same closed-sale record used here.

Method, source, corrections and download

• Source data: BeachesMLS listings permitted for internet display, delivered through Cotality Trestle (PBP connection 23039), for listings whose MLS city field is Palm Beach. Listings whose sellers declined internet display are absent and their number is unknown, so no figure is a census; newly listed counts are floors for the same reason.
• Property type follows the tax legal description: a condominium regime in the legal makes the property a condo whatever the MLS type; townhouses and villas are reported with condos. Houses and condos/townhouses are never combined into one figure. The property-mix shares are shares of a count, not blended prices.
• Small-market rule: counts (sales, listings, homes under contract, newly listed) are always reported for the month. Medians are reported over the shortest of the latest complete month, the trailing three months or the trailing 12 months that contains at least five sales, and the window and sale count are printed beside each median. Months of supply divide homes for sale by the trailing 12-month average of monthly sales. Nothing is estimated or modeled.
• Each statistic carries its own data date. Inventory, contract and asking-price figures are the September 15, 2026 snapshot; the latest complete month is August 2026; Palm Beach County context comes from the county market report dated September 15, 2026.
• This is the 2026-09-15 edition and it is frozen. A new edition is published each month; earlier editions remain downloadable. Published-figure errors are logged at the corrections log.
• Download: 2026-09-15.csv (CSV, this edition, one row per statistic) or the latest edition. Listing-level records are MLS data and are not redistributed.
