April 2026
Palm Beach County Market Update
April painted a vivid picture across Palm Beach County's real estate landscape, and the numbers behind it are worth a close look. Closed sales are climbing, inventory keeps shrinking, and pending sales are surging at a pace that signals real urgency in the market. For anyone thinking about buying or selling, the spring of 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal moment, and waiting on the sidelines carries its own kind of risk.
Single-Family Homes
The single-family segment continued its steady climb in April. Closed sales reached 1,376, up 3.6% from a year ago, while the median sale price held firm at $650,000, a 0.8% increase year over year. Active inventory fell to 5,303 homes, down 18% from last April, and months supply dropped to just 4.4 months compared to 5.9 months a year ago. Perhaps the most telling signal came from new pending sales, which jumped 17% to 1,559, while new listings slipped 8% to 1,691. Demand is outpacing the pace of new supply entering the market.
Palm Beach County Townhouse and Condo
The townhouse and condo segment delivered its own impressive story. Closed sales rose 6.2% to 1,060, and the median sale price climbed to $340,000, a healthy 6.3% increase from a year ago. Active inventory in this category dropped 18% to 6,904 units, and months supply fell from 10.4 to 8.2 months, a meaningful improvement reflecting growing buyer interest. New pending sales jumped 10% to 1,100, while new listings declined 12% to 1,482, echoing the same supply pressure seen in the single-family market.
Palm Beach County's spring market is tightening across the board. Less inventory, more pending contracts, and rising prices in both segments point to a market that continues to favor sellers while creating urgency for buyers. Whether you are looking to list or searching for your next home, timing and strategy matter more than ever right now.
