Home Prices in West Palm Beach
Over the last 90 days the median single-family home in West Palm Beach sold for $575,000 ($334 per square foot) and the median condo or townhome for $230,000 ($204 per square foot). Against the same 90 days a year earlier that is +8% for single-family homes and -1.3% for condos. Homes on the market now are asking a median $719,500 (single-family) and $210,000 (condos and townhomes). Medians describe the middle of the market; a waterfront estate and a garden condo pull in opposite directions, which is why the two segments are reported separately.
Inventory and the Pace of Sales
1,545 homes and condos are for sale in West Palm Beach today, 102 of them listed in the last seven days, and 501 are under contract. 216 sales closed in the last 30 days. Single-family homes carry 4.4 months of inventory and condos 8 months, which makes the single-family side a balanced market: under four months favours sellers, over six favours buyers. Active single-family listings have been on the market 113 days on average, condos 129 days.
Single-Family Homes vs. Condos and Townhomes
The two halves of the West Palm Beach market move differently. Single-family sellers achieved 97.2% of their asking price on the typical sale in the last 90 days after 68 days on market; condo and townhome sellers achieved 95.9% after 92 days. 331 single-family homes and 355 condos and townhomes closed in that window. Condo pricing also carries the building's fees, reserves and rental rules, so a low list price in an older tower is not the same deal as a low list price on a lot.
The Last Twelve Months
3,130 residential sales closed in West Palm Beach over the last twelve months. The whole-market median sold price moved from $385,000 in Oct 2025 to $355,000 in Aug 2026, a change of -7.8%. The month-by-month table below shows closings, median price, price per square foot and days to sell; the current month is partial until it closes.
Selling a Home in West Palm Beach
A West Palm Beach home is priced by its neighbourhood, its historic status, its distance from the water and downtown, and on the west side by its club or community and the fees that come with it. Start with a free valuation built on recent BeachesMLS sales in your neighbourhood, request a cash offer for a fast as-is sale, or ask for a full comparative market analysis and a marketing plan before you list.
Investing in West Palm Beach
Investors buy in West Palm Beach for the rental demand created by the new downtown office market and the Brightline, for the renovation upside in Northwood and the neighbourhoods west of Dixie Highway, and for the entry-priced condos in the 55-plus communities where rules allow leasing.

West Palm Beach Housing Market FAQ
- What is the median home price in West Palm Beach?
- Over the last 90 days the median sold price in West Palm Beach was $575,000 for single-family homes and $230,000 for condos and townhomes, from BeachesMLS closings as of September 23, 2026. Homes for sale now are asking a median $719,500 and $210,000 respectively. These figures refresh daily on this page.
- Is West Palm Beach a buyer's market or a seller's market?
- By months of inventory, the single-family side of West Palm Beach is a balanced market right now: 4.4 months of supply, with condos and townhomes at 8 months (buyer's market). Under four months of supply favours sellers, over six favours buyers, and the two segments often sit on different sides of that line in South Florida.
- How long does it take to sell a home in West Palm Beach?
- Single-family homes that closed in West Palm Beach in the last 90 days had been on the market 68 days on average, and condos and townhomes 92 days. Sellers achieved 97.2% of their asking price on the typical single-family sale and 95.9% on the typical condo sale. Well-priced homes go under contract in the first few weeks; the average is pulled up by listings that started too high.
- Are home prices in West Palm Beach going up or down?
- Over the last twelve months the whole-market median sold price in West Palm Beach moved from $385,000 (Oct 2025) to $355,000 (Aug 2026), -7.8%. Comparing the last 90 days with the same 90 days a year earlier, single-family medians are +8% and condo medians -1.3%. Monthly medians swing with the mix of homes that happened to close, so the direction over several months matters more than any one month.
- What is the median rent in West Palm Beach?
- The median asking rent in West Palm Beach is $2,250 a month across 1,011 active rentals: $2,850 for houses and townhomes and $1,950 for condos and apartments. The West Palm Beach rentals hub carries the full rental market table, updated daily.
- Where do these numbers come from?
- Every figure is computed from BeachesMLS through the Spark API: active listings are counted as of the refresh date (September 23, 2026), sold figures cover closings in the last 90 days compared with the same 90 days a year earlier, and the monthly table buckets closed sales by closing date. Statistics refresh once a day and are cached; inventory over time comes from our own daily snapshots. Nothing on this page is typed by hand, and none of it is an appraisal. BreakThru Realty's market data methodology page explains every calculation, and broker of record Tyson E. Sam reviews the method and the written guidance in this report.
