Palm Beach County’s single-family home market demonstrated impressive resilience and momentum to cap off 2025, with December activity exceeding expectations for the traditionally quieter holiday period and underscoring ongoing buyer confidence.
December 2025 highlights include:
- Closed sales jumped 23.0% year-over-year to 1,269 single-family homes, compared to 1,032 in December 2024—reflecting heightened transaction volume amid sustained demand.
- New pending sales climbed 13.4% to 1,007, providing clear evidence of continued buyer interest and a promising start to 2026.
Supply constraints persisted, sustaining a competitive edge for sellers—especially for properties that are accurately priced and thoughtfully marketed. Active inventory decreased 4.7% year-over-year to 5,370 listings, equating to a 4.6-month supply that remains firmly in seller-favorable territory, below the neutral benchmark.
Pricing trends stayed solid, with the luxury and upper-tier segments contributing significantly to overall gains:
- The median sale price rose 1.6% to $632,500, illustrating steady appreciation at the core market level.
- The average sale price advanced sharply by 26.9% to $1,353,599, highlighting the strength of higher-end closings.
“Palm Beach County ended the year with strong sales activity and resilient pricing, even as buyers remain thoughtful and selective,” stated Jonathan Dolphus, President of Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors®. “In this market, homes that are priced correctly and positioned well are still moving, and a local Realtor® is essential to help buyers and sellers navigate timing, strategy, and negotiations.”
This robust year-end performance reinforces Palm Beach County’s status as a highly desirable and dynamic real estate destination. In a landscape where precision in pricing, presentation, and timing drives results, collaborating with a knowledgeable local Realtor® continues to be the smartest approach for achieving the best possible outcomes—whether you’re entering the market as a buyer or positioning your property for sale.
