How long does it take to sell a home in West Palm Beach?
Houses that closed in August 2026 took a median 40 days to go under contract; condos and townhouses took 50 days. Year to date the medians are 40 days and 60 days. Homes still for sale carry longer clocks, 70 days for houses and 74 days for condos and townhouses, because the homes that sell quickly have already left the pool. Counting cumulative days across relistings, the median house for sale has been on the market 80 days and the median condo or townhouse 98 days (Buyer Hesitation Time).

How many West Palm Beach sellers have cut their asking price?
40.5% of West Palm Beach houses for sale and 42.6% of condos and townhouses were priced below their original asking price on September 15, 2026, the Seller Blink Rate. The median recorded cut was 5.0% ($30,000) for houses and 6.8% ($11,549) for condos and townhouses; 20.7% of houses for sale cut in the last 30 days. 44.0% of houses for sale have been on the market more than 90 cumulative days, and 20.7% have passed 90 days without any recorded cut. The MLS record does not carry every price change, so every cut share is a floor. Palm Beach County as a whole: 43.2% of houses and 45.1% of condos and townhouses. Source: West Palm Beach price cuts.

What does overpricing cost a West Palm Beach seller?
Across the last twelve months of closed West Palm Beach house sales, 82.0% closed below their original asking price, and the longer a house took to sell, the deeper the cut from its original asking price. These are closed-sale associations, not a causal estimate for any one home; a West Palm Beach Seller Pricing Study with cohort tests is not yet published, so the figures below come from the West Palm Beach expired listings page.

How many "new" West Palm Beach listings had been listed before?
9.9% of West Palm Beach houses for sale and 13.9% of condos and townhouses carried more cumulative days on market than their current listing shows, the MLS signature of an earlier listing that ended without a sale. Of the homes that came to market last month, 9.4% of houses and 15.7% of condos and townhouses were returning rather than arriving. The typical relisted house carries 154 days of earlier market time that a portal alert does not show; the typical relisted condo or townhouse 181.5 days. Relists entered under an unlinked new MLS number are not detected, so these shares are floors. Source: West Palm Beach relistings (this page, PBP Relisting Index method).

What these statistics mean if you are selling in West Palm Beach
The numbers that decide a West Palm Beach sale are the ones in the asking-price sections: 40.5% of houses for sale have already cut their asking price, and 82.0% of the houses that closed in the last twelve months sold below their original asking price. The buyer's agent reading your listing sees the cumulative days, the earlier asking prices and the county comparison above. The useful question before listing is not what the highest number is that the market might accept, but what the first asking price should be so the home sells before it joins the cut-and-relist cohorts. 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). Listings whose sellers declined internet display are absent and their number is unknown, so no figure is a census.
- 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.
- Medians are reported only where the source page's own sample floor is met (5 sales for hub medians, 30 listings for shares on the research indexes); figures under the floor are omitted, never estimated. Derived changes (year-over-year, share changes) are computed from the two published figures and marked as such in the download.
- Each statistic carries its own data date. Monthly medians use the latest complete month (August 2026); inventory, contract and asking-price figures are the September 15, 2026 snapshot; the Relisting Index is its September 10, 2026 edition.
- 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 with source URL) or the latest edition. Listing-level records are MLS data and are not redistributed.

Questions about West Palm Beach real estate statistics
What is the median home price in West Palm Beach?
In August 2026 the median West Palm Beach house sold for $530,000 and the median condo or townhouse for $231,265, from 111 and 122 closed sales in BeachesMLS. Year to date (Jan 1 - Aug 31, 2026) the medians are $575,000 and $245,500. Houses and condos are reported separately and never averaged together.
How many homes are for sale in West Palm Beach?
On September 15, 2026, 487 houses and 1,061 condos and townhouses were listed for sale in West Palm Beach, with 199 houses and 275 condos and townhouses under contract. That is 4.4 months of house inventory and 8.7 months for condos and townhouses at last month's sales pace.
How long does it take to sell a home in West Palm Beach?
Houses that closed in August 2026 had a median 40 days on the market; condos and townhouses 50 days. Homes still for sale on September 15, 2026 had been listed a median 70 days (houses) and 74 days (condos and townhouses); the sold figure is shorter because homes that sell quickly leave the for-sale pool.
How many West Palm Beach sellers have cut their asking price?
On September 15, 2026, 40.5% of West Palm Beach houses for sale and 42.6% of condos and townhouses carried an asking price below their original asking price (the Seller Blink Rate). The median recorded cut was 5.0% for houses and 6.8% for condos and townhouses. The MLS record does not carry every price change, so these counts are floors.
Can I cite these statistics?
Yes. This is the 2026-09-15 edition and it is frozen: the figures on this page and in its downloadable table do not change. Cite as "PBP Real Estate analysis of BeachesMLS listing data" with a link to this page or to the source page named beside each figure. A new edition is published each month; earlier editions stay downloadable.
Where do the figures come from?
Every figure is computed by PBP Real Estate from BeachesMLS listings permitted for internet display, delivered through Cotality Trestle (connection 23039), and was first published on the PBP page named beside it. Nothing is copied from a portal or a third-party roundup, no figure is modeled or estimated, and houses are never blended with condos and townhouses. Property type follows the tax legal description.
