February 2026 Stats Home Prices, Sales Trends & Inventory
Palm Beach County’s single-family home market demonstrated strong momentum in February 2026, with closed home sales increasing 7.9% year-over-year to 1,089 transactions. This growth highlights continued buyer demand in Palm Beach County real estate, even as overall housing market conditions normalize and shift toward a more balanced market.
Home prices in Palm Beach County continued their upward trend. The median home sale price rose 4.3% year-over-year to $675,000, while the average home price surged 14.9% to $1,453,078. Total sales volume reached $1.6 billion, marking a significant 24.0% increase compared to February 2025. This sharp rise reflects both increasing property values and sustained real estate market activity across all price points.
Homes are taking slightly longer to sell, signaling a transition toward a more stable market. The median time to contract increased to 53 days, and the median days to close reached 91 days. This indicates a shift from the rapid pace seen in previous years to a more normalized housing market timeline, giving buyers and sellers more flexibility.
Buyer activity remains strong heading into the spring homebuying season. New pending home sales rose 5.0% year-over-year to 1,441 transactions, reinforcing expectations for continued real estate demand in Palm Beach County. At the same time, new listings declined 8.9%, contributing to a tighter supply and keeping housing inventory at 4.9 months—still below a fully balanced market.
<p”>“Palm Beach County continues to attract strong interest from homebuyers, driven by its desirable South Florida lifestyle, economic growth, and diverse housing options,” said Jonathan Dolphus, President of Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors®. “While the market is moving at a more measured pace, housing demand remains strong. Working with a local Realtor® is essential to successfully navigate changing market conditions and make informed real estate decisions.”

This week the median list price for Palm Beach Gardens, FL is $1,498,000 with the market action index hovering around 32. This is an increase over last month’s market action index of 31. Inventory has held steady at or around 380.
In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI. If the market heats up, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.
