December 2025
Palm Beach County Market Update
As 2025 draws to a close, Palm Beach County's real estate market is finishing the year on a high note, with buyers and sellers staying remarkably active through the typically slower December season. The data tells a compelling story of a market finding its rhythm after years of dramatic shifts.
Single-Family Homes Gain Momentum
The single-family home market showed impressive vitality in December, with closed sales jumping 23% compared to last year to reach 1,269 transactions. Prices continued their upward climb, with the median sale price settling at $632,500, a modest but steady 1.6% increase year over year. Perhaps most telling is what's happening with inventory. Active listings dropped 4.7% to 5,370 homes, while the months of supply fell from 5.1 months a year ago to just 4.6 months today. This tightening supply is creating a more competitive environment for buyers. New listings dipped slightly by 0.9% to 1,283 properties, but new pending sales surged 13% to 1,007, suggesting strong buyer demand heading into the new year.
Palm Beach County Townhouse and Condo Market Heats Up
The townhouse and condo segment posted even more dramatic gains, with closed sales soaring 31% to 858 units. However, prices in this sector told a different story, with the median dropping 6.5% to $297,000, potentially creating opportunities for budget-conscious buyers. Inventory declined 5.0% to 6,925 units, while months of supply improved significantly to 8.5 months, down from 8.8 months last year. New listings fell 12% to 1,175 properties, yet new pending sales climbed an impressive 16% to 734, demonstrating robust buyer appetite despite the longer inventory timeline.
Palm Beach County's real estate market is showing clear signs of balanced activity across both property types, with sales volume climbing and inventory moderating. Whether you're considering buying or selling, this dynamic market presents opportunities worth exploring.
