West Palm Beach Real Estate

West Palm Beach is the county seat and the largest city in Palm Beach County, and it has changed faster in the last five years than in the previous twenty. Financial firms relocating offices to the downtown corridor brought a buyer with a different budget, and Brightline's station put Miami within an hour by train and Orlando within three.

The market is genuinely varied: the historic districts of El Cid, Flamingo Park and Old Northwood with their 1920s houses, the downtown and waterfront condominium towers, the postwar neighborhoods west of Olive Avenue, and the planned communities out toward the Turnpike.

What houses and condominiums are doing right now

In August 2026, single-family homes in West Palm Beach closed at a median of $532,250, at a median 40 days on market and 97% of the last asking price, across 108 closings. Across the year so far, 1,071 closed at a median of $575,000, against 921 at $565,000 in the same period last year. There are 493 on the market now at a median asking price of $699,000, and about 4.6 months of supply, which still favors sellers.

In August 2026, condominiums and townhouses in West Palm Beach closed at a median of $231,265, at a median 50 days on market and 95% of the last asking price, across 122 closings. Across the year so far, 1,218 closed at a median of $246,000, against 1,082 at $240,000 in the same period last year. There are 1,060 on the market now at a median asking price of $210,000, and about 8.7 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.

Schools

West Palm Beach is served by Palm Beach County School District, which publishes current assignments and performance data by address. Assignment varies widely across a city this large, so confirm it with the district for any specific property.

Getting around

Interstate 95 and Florida's Turnpike run north to south, and the Brightline and Tri-Rail stations sit downtown. Palm Beach International Airport is minutes from the center of the city, the Port of Palm Beach is just north in Riviera Beach, and three bridges cross to Palm Beach island.

Working with us in West Palm Beach

The relocation wave has not lifted every part of this city equally. A house in El Cid and a house four miles west are exposed to completely different demand, and pricing off a citywide median is how sellers in the second group end up disappointed.
