July 2026 at a Glance
What the July 2026 Numbers Say
Palm Beach County's single family home market carried its momentum into July 2026. Closed sales rose 12.7% over July 2025 while active inventory fell 23.3% — a combination that lifted the median sale price to $660,090, up 7.6% year over year. At 3.7 months of supply, down from 5.5, the single family market remains firmly in seller's-market territory, yet sellers still received 95.1% of original list price on average, which means buyers retain real room to negotiate on well-chosen homes.
