Palm Beach County Total Sales Rise for 10th Consecutive Month

Total Palm Beach County sales increased 22.3% year-over-year in June 2026, from 2,008 to 2,456.

Total $1M and up home sales increased 57% in June 2026, from 367 to 575. 

The sales total doesn’t include South Florida’s new construction, pre-construction and condo conversion sales because they are largely not reported in the MLS. But MIAMI led the charge to publish two new construction reports.

International buyers purchased 49% of new South Florida construction, pre-construction and condo conversion sales over an 18-month period ending in July 2025, according to MIAMI REALTORS® first-ever New Construction Global Sales Report in collaboration with industry leaders. 

Our second New Construction Global Sales Report, published in November 2025, showed an increase in global sales and buyers from 73 countries, according to the MIAMI REALTORS® November 2025 Global Sales Report in collaboration with industry leaders.

Palm Beach County Single-Family, Condo Transactions Climb

Palm Beach County single-family home sales increased 24.85% year-over-year in June 2026, from 1,187 to 1,482.

Palm Beach County existing condo sales increased 18.64% year-over-year in June 2026, from 821 to 974. 

The lack of Federal Housing Administration loans for many existing South Florida condominium buildings is preventing further market strengthening. Of the 2,397 condominium buildings in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, only 21 are approved for FHA loans, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Just 0.9% of South Florida condo buildings are approved for FHA loans. 

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are eliminating the limited review option for many condo loans beginning Aug. 3, 2026. For decades, Florida condominium borrowers and owners faced stricter lending standards and higher financing hurdles than those in many other states. The updated guidelines are expected to create a more transparent and financially secure lending environment.  

Palm Beach County Condominium Sale Prices Have Appreciated 261% Since 2010

Palm Beach County condo prices have increased 261% since 2010, from $90,000 to $325,000. Prices increased 3.17% year-over-year in June 2026, from $315,000 to $325,000. Condo inventory is declining year-over-year, which will put upward pressure on prices.

Palm Beach County single-family home median sale prices increased 11.82% year-over-year in June 2026, from $626,000 to $700,000.  

Palm Beach County single-family prices have risen 211% since 2010, from $225,000 to $700,000.

MIAMI REALTORS® + RWorld continues to support cross-sector stakeholder solutions – like removing obstacles to permitting and zoning, funding the Florida Hometown Heroes Program, and creating pathways for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) – to facilitate both the creation and preservation of safe and affordable housing. 

South Florida’s surging multifamily market and the Florida Live Local Act should boost affordability in the future. Southeast Florida ranks No. 1 in the U.S. for most multifamily construction, according to MIAMI REALTORS® Research. This is important because it adds more overall housing/apartment supply to a city, creates more affordability and adds to Miami’s economic growth.

Florida’s Live Local Act, which was passed in 2023 and amended in May 2024, is encouraging developers to build more affordable housing. The Live Local Act gives developers the highest density allowed in a local area if they allocate 40% of its units for affordable housing. The state law defines an affordable unit as being at or below 120% of an area’s median income.

South Florida remains a bargain in comparison to other global cities. For $1M, homebuyers can purchase 58 square meters of prime property in Miami, according to the 2026 Knight Frank Wealth Report. That is almost four times more than Monaco (16 square meters), nearly two times more than New York (34) and London (33) and more than Paris (37), Tokyo (37) and more. 

Elevated Mortgage Rates

Mortgage rates are trending up because of rising energy prices, inflation, and geopolitical events. According to Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 6.49% in June 2026.

Total Palm Beach County Inventory Declines 

Total active listings at the end of June 2026 decreased 21% year-over-year, from 13,929 to 10,998. Decreasing supply means more buyer competition and upward price pressure.

Inventory of single-family homes decreased 23.60% year-over-year in June 2026 from 6,259 active listings last year to 4,782 last month. 

Condominium inventory decreased 18.96% year-over-year in June 2026, from 7,670 to 6,216 listings during the same period in 2025, but the total is still significantly below pre-pandemic. 

Months’ supply of inventory for single-family homes is 3.9 months, which indicates a seller’s market. Inventory for existing condominiums is 7.2 months, which indicates a balanced market. A balanced market between buyers and sellers offers between six- and nine-months supply.

Nationally, total housing inventory is 1.65 million units, according to NAR. That is up 1.3% from June 2025. There is 4.6-month supply of unsold inventory, unchanged from one year ago.

Palm Beach County Real Estate: $316 Million in Local Economic Impact
Every time a home is sold it impacts the economy: income generated from real estate industries (commissions, fees and moving expenses), expenditures related to home purchase (furniture and remodeling expenses), multiplier of housing related expenditures (income earned as a result of a home sale is re-circulated into the economy) and new construction (additional home sales induce added home production).

The total economic impact of a typical Florida home sale is $129,000, according to NAR. Palm Beach County sold 2,456 homes in June 2026 for a local economic impact of $316 million.

Palm Beach County total dollar volume increased 53.90% year-over-year in June 2026 to $2.7 billion.  

Single-family home dollar volume increased 57.22% year-over-year to $2.1 billion. Condo dollar volume increased 43% year-over-year to $603 million.

Palm Beach County Distressed Sales Remain at Historic Lows, Reflecting Healthy Market
Only 0.5% of all closed residential sales in Palm Beach County were distressed last month, including REO (bank-owned properties) and short sales

Short sales and REOs accounted for 0.1% and 0.4%, respectively, of total Palm Beach County sales in June 2026. 

State & National Sales

In Florida, closed sales of single-family homes statewide totaled 26,036 in June 2026, up 9.3% year-over-year, while existing condo-townhouse sales totaled 8,900, up 14%. 

The statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes was $432,000, up 4.9% year-over-year, according to data from Florida Realtors Research Department in partnership with local Realtor boards/associations. Last month’s statewide median price for condo-townhouse units was $305,000, up 1.7% vs. last year. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.

Nationally, total existing home sales increased 2.8% year-over-year to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.09 million, according to NAR. Median existing home prices increased to $440,600, up 1.8% from one year ago ($432,700) – the 36th consecutive month of year-over-year price increases.

Palm Beach County Real Estate Attracting Near List Price
The median percent of original list price received for single-family homes was 95% in June 2026. The median percent of original list price received for existing condominiums was 93%. 

The median number of days between listing and contract dates for Palm Beach County single-family home sales was 42 days, even with last year. The median time to sale for single-family homes was 89 days, up from 88 days last year.

The median number of days between the listing date and contract date for condos was 68 days, up from 61 days. The median number of days to sale for condos was 107 days, up from 100 days.

Palm Beach County: A National Leader in Cash Buyers
Cash sales represented 49.5% of Palm Beach County closed sales in June 2026, compared to 47.3% in June 2025. About 25% of U.S. home sales are made in cash, according to the latest NAR statistics.

Cash buyers are not deterred by rising rates. The high percentage of cash buyers reflects South Florida’s top position as the preeminent American real estate market for foreign buyers, who tend to purchase with all cash as well as some moving from more expensive U.S. markets who can buy more with their profits from real estate sales.

Cash sales accounted for 58.7% of all Palm Beach County existing condo sales and 43.5% of single-family transactions.
