South Florida Market Report
A snapshot of Palm Beach County housing data, sourced from public market-data providers — not MLS-exclusive figures, but a directionally accurate read on where the market stood.
Data through May 2026
Where the Market Stands
Palm Beach County's most recent numbers describe a market that is active without being overheated. Median sale prices ticked up only modestly year-over-year, the average time a home spends on the market shortened rather than lengthened, and more homes changed hands in May than in the same month a year earlier — signs of steady, not runaway, demand.
At the same time, one widely used automated home-value estimate shows average values pulling back slightly over the past year — a reminder that different data sources can tell slightly different parts of the same story, and county-wide medians can move differently than any one home’s value.

What This Means For You
County-wide medians are a useful starting point, but they don't tell you what a specific home, street, or neighborhood is actually doing right now. If you're weighing a purchase or a sale in Palm Beach County, reach out to Jessica directly for a property-specific read — she can walk you through what these numbers actually mean for your situation.
Figures above are drawn from third-party market-data providers (Redfin, Zillow), current as of their most recently published update (data through May 2026 at time of writing). They are a general market indicator, not a substitute for a property-specific comparative market analysis. For pricing guidance on a specific home, contact Jessica directly.
