Palm Beach County Leads Florida’s East Coast in Q2 2025
Across Florida’s East Coast, Q2 2025 delivered a telling shift. After two years of rapid appreciation, rising inventory and a more cautious buyer pool signaled a move toward balance. Price growth plateaued in many counties—and reversed in others.
- Miami-Dade County held relatively steady, with a median condo price of $1.8M, but saw softening across single-family and condo absorption rates.
- Broward County posted median condo and single-family prices of $1.545M and $1.475M, respectively—but both were down from prior quarters.
- Martin and Indian River Counties faced the sharpest slowdowns in pricing and pace, as seasonal demand tapered and financing challenges set in.
📈 Inventory across the region rose significantly, and days on market extended in nearly every county.
Yet amid the normalization, Palm Beach County emerged as the exception. It didn’t just stay afloat—it led. Let’s peel back the data.
Palm Beach County: Holding Firm, Leading Selectively
Palm Beach County led the region in both single-family and condo pricing—solidifying its position as the East Coast’s most resilient luxury market.
In Q2 2025, Palm Beach County posted a median single-family home price of $1,750,000—the highest of any county along Florida’s East Coast. It edged out Miami-Dade ($1,700,000) and stood well above Broward ($1,475,000) and Martin County ($752,500), underscoring Palm Beach’s role as the region’s price leader for high-end single-family homes.
On the condominium side, Palm Beach County also led the region, posting a median sales price of $1,862,500—slightly ahead of Miami-Dade at $1,800,000, and well above Broward at $1,545,000 and Martin County at $867,500.

📍 Key Takeaway: Palm Beach County is outperforming its peer markets—not just holding value, but commanding it. While other counties saw sharper inventory spikes or price fluctuations, Palm Beach demonstrated consistency across both asset types.
This isn’t just resilience—it’s market leadership. Palm Beach continues to attract well-capitalized, long-view buyers while maintaining top-tier pricing and velocity in an environment where others are adjusting downward.
Palm Beach County isn’t retreating—it’s returning to fundamentals. Luxury demand remains active, pricing is holding firm, and the market continues to lead Florida’s East Coast in buyer quality, long-term investment appeal, and a steady pipeline of new luxury development—both in high-end condominiums and single-family homes.
Sales remained steady, pricing held strong at the high end, and luxury demand was fueled by well-capitalized, out-of-state buyers focused on long-term lifestyle investments.

Looking Ahead: A Market that Rewards Strategy
As we move into the second half of 2025, three patterns are becoming clear:
- Inventory is rising — creating more opportunity as well as more competition.
- Buyers are more selective—but they’re still engaging, especially in waterfront and club communities.
- Cash is still king, especially in the $5M+ tier, where buyers expect quality, speed, and value.
For sellers: Pricing, staging, and exposure matter more than ever.
For buyers: Timing, terms, and representation will shape your leverage.
