Palm Beach County continues to assert itself as a leader in Florida’s luxury real estate market in 2025, even as other markets across the state show signs of slowing. The county remains a premier destination for affluent buyers seeking coastal estates, golf communities, and the prestige that comes with owning property in this iconic location.
While the luxury market remains strong, inventory has expanded in ways that benefit both buyers and sellers. Active single-family listings rose 18% year-over-year, while condo inventory grew 14%, offering buyers more choice and flexibility. For sellers, this means that positioning properties competitively is crucial, but demand remains steady enough to support premium pricing.
Homes are moving efficiently despite the increase in inventory. Single-family properties averaged 80 days on the market, while condos sold in 86 days, both faster than neighboring counties. This demonstrates a persistent appetite for Palm Beach real estate, particularly from buyers who prioritize lifestyle and location over financing conditions.
One of the more notable trends is the surge in contract activity across multiple price tiers. In June 2025, contracts for homes under $300,000 jumped an astonishing 340% year-over-year, signaling renewed interest from younger or entry-level buyers. At the same time, luxury contracts increased dramatically, with properties in the $3 million to $4.99 million range up 133% and those between $5 million and $9.99 million doubling. New listings across these brackets also rose, indicating that sellers are responding to this strong demand.
Overall, Palm Beach County’s real estate market is thriving at both luxury and accessible levels, supported by rising inventory and a resilient pool of buyers. Real estate professionals who can guide clients through this nuanced market—balancing exclusivity with opportunity—will be well positioned for success.
