West Palm Beach in August 2026, single-family
Single-family homes only; condominiums and townhouses are reported separately below. Based on information from BeachesMLS, retrieved September 5, 2026. Listings permitted for internet display. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
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 $495,000, at a median 40 days on market and 97% of the last asking price, across 86 closings. Across the year so far, 940 closed at a median of $575,000, against 826 at $575,000 in the same period last year. There are 441 on the market now at a median asking price of $689,900, and about 5.1 months of supply, which is close to a balanced market.
In August 2026, condominiums and townhouses in West Palm Beach closed at a median of $231,265, at a median 67 days on market and 95% of the last asking price, across 88 closings. Across the year so far, 885 closed at a median of $258,500, against 782 at $250,000 in the same period last year. There are 779 on the market now at a median asking price of $212,000, and about 8.9 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.

West Palm Beach single-family, month and year to date
The single-family median moved from $525,000 in August 2025 to $495,000 in August 2026, and median days on market went from 43 to 40. Condominiums and townhouses are a separate market here: 88 closed in August 2026 at a median of $231,265, and they are reported separately on this page.
Month and year-to-date are shown together on purpose: one month in a single city can swing on a handful of closings, and the year-to-date line is what keeps it honest.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 2026 | 86 | $495,000 | 40 | 97% |
| August 2025 | 87 | $525,000 | 43 | 96% |

We just purchased our snowbird home in WPB Florida. Gia Freer was amazing. Very helpful, knowledgeable and patient answering all our questions.
★★★★★ Donna T. · Google review, January 2023
She helped us find our house in Boynton Beach about 9 years ago, and that was a success. When we were ready to move on and sell that house, she was very good at helping us prepare and sell that house and purchase our new home in Westlake.
★★★★★ Christopher H. · Google review, August 2026
Gia did an excellent job in finding our winter home. She is very professional and efficient. All appointments were always on time.
