Coastal Palm Beaches & Barrier Islands Market Report: 2Q 2025

“Palm Beach continues to demonstrate its remarkable resilience and appeal, even amid broader market headwinds. In the second quarter of 2025, single-family home sales experienced a notable 32% annual increase, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of growth. Meanwhile, the condo/co-op market reached a new milestone, with median prices rising 37% to a record $1.5 million. These results reflect the enduring demand for luxury living in one of the country’s most coveted zip codes.
Just outside of Palm Beach, increased inventory is providing buyers with more options. At the same time, strong pricing in key locations – from Jupiter Island to Highland Beach – demonstrates the continued demand for South Florida’s premier coastal lifestyle. As we move into the second half of the year, I remain confident in the unique value Palm Beach offers.”
