About 1,400 people live here, almost all of them in oceanfront or lagoon-front condominium buildings put up between the 1960s and the 1980s.

What is selling
No single-family homes closed in South Palm Beach in September 2026, which is normal in a market this small and is the reason we publish the year alongside it.
In September 2026, condominiums and townhouses in South Palm Beach closed at a median of $264,950, at 91.1% of the original asking price and 95.3% of the final asking price, after a median 90 days on market, across 8 closings. Across the year so far, 64 closed at a median of $342,500, against 51 at $350,000 in the same period last year. There are 64 on the market now at a median asking price of $497,000, and about 8.0 months of supply, which gives buyers real negotiating room.
Houses and condominiums are reported separately here on purpose. Averaging the two produces a number that describes neither, and in this market the two halves frequently move in different directions.

Working with us in South Palm Beach
In a town that is entirely condominiums, your building is your market. Its reserves, its assessment history, its rental rules and its position relative to the ocean matter more than anything inside your unit, and two buildings a hundred yards apart can be a season apart in time to sell.
Gia Freer, our Broker of Record, has been licensed in Florida since 2000. PBP Real Estate is a transaction broker, and we handle probate and estate sales, short sales and relocation in house. Tell us your building and unit and we will give you a written opinion of value.

South Palm Beach is a barrier-island town south of Palm Beach, and it is almost entirely condominium - the single-family market here is negligible. Most buildings date from the 1960s and 1970s, some rising to nine stories, and the typical unit is two bedrooms and two bathrooms in around 1,200 square feet. Colonial, traditional and contemporary exteriors appear across the buildings.
The ocean is under a mile away and a marina is around three-quarters of a mile, with a golf course a mile and a third and eighteen tennis courts within a mile. Association fees here are the highest we record anywhere in the county and reflect oceanfront buildings, their reserves and their insurance - for any purchase in this town, the fee and the reserve study matter as much as the asking price. Ask us for both before you make an offer.
South Palm Beach market snapshot — as of October 12, 2026
Figures below come from our own BeachesMLS broker data feed, not a third-party estimate.
