Fed Raises Key Rate to 3.75%-4%
The Federal Reserve has just increased its key rate by 0.25%, bringing it to the 3.75%-4% range—this marks the first rate hike since July 2023. With inflation still running above the Fed’s 2% target, there’s an indication that we could see another rate hike before the year’s end. The next decision point will be at the Fed’s upcoming meeting on October 27-28, 2026, when economic conditions and inflation will be reassessed. As Realtors who have spent over two decades navigating the Palm Beach County market, we know how shifts like these can influence everything from mortgage rates to investment opportunities. We’re always tuned in to these changes so we can guide our clients with personalized service and up-to-date insights.

New Listings Rise as Summer Comes to a Close
As summer winds down, we're seeing a 1.2% increase in new home listings across the U.S.—the highest in three months. At the same time, pending sales have dipped 1.3%, reaching their lowest point since March. Although the median asking price edged down by 0.1%, the median sale price has still climbed 1.8% year-over-year, even in the face of higher mortgage rates and ongoing economic uncertainty. Having spent over 20 years helping clients navigate the ever-changing Palm Beach County market, we know how important it is to stay informed about these shifts. If you’re considering your next move—whether buying, selling, or investing—we’re here to offer the personalized service and strong advocacy that have always defined our approach.

Greater Palm Beach Area Residential Sales Surge as Inventory Shrinks
The Palm Beach County residential market is on a remarkable upswing: July 2026 saw an impressive 15% growth in overall sales. Single-family homes rose by 12.74%, condos surged 18.55%, and luxury properties led the way with a 36.5% increase. At the same time, inventory has tightened by 20%, pushing median prices upward—while nearly half of sales (48%) were completed by cash buyers. As local Realtors deeply invested in this community, we’ve seen firsthand how these shifts create both opportunities and challenges for buyers and sellers. With over 20 years of experience, we’re committed to guiding our clients through evolving markets like this—combining personalized service with up-to-date market insight to help you make informed decisions in Palm Beach County.

Buy and Sell a Home Simultaneously: Strategies for Success
Navigating the process of buying and selling a home at the same time can feel overwhelming, but with the right strategy, it’s absolutely achievable. In our experience working with clients throughout Palm Beach County and southeast Florida, we’ve seen that selling your home first can help clarify your budget—though it may mean arranging for temporary housing. On the other hand, buying first allows more time to find that perfect property, but comes with the possibility of holding two mortgages for a while. Contingent offers can strike a balance, but we’ve found they sometimes make sellers hesitant. Over the years, we’ve learned that careful planning and a willingness to be flexible are the keys to making these transitions as smooth as possible. Our commitment is always to advocate for our clients and guide them with both personalized service and the latest market insights.

Florida Luxury Condos Are Rising Across the State
We’re seeing an exciting wave of luxury condo developments taking shape all over Florida, from the east and west coasts right down to South Florida. For those keeping an eye on the high-end market, it’s clear that many new projects are launching with starting prices at $1M or more—especially in places like West Palm Beach and Naples. But there are also some options in vibrant cities like Miami and St. Petersburg where new condos begin in the $500Ks or $600Ks, all while offering beautiful views and impressive amenities.

Looking ahead, there’s a robust pipeline of projects stretching into the next decade, with anticipated completions in Daytona Beach Shores, West Palm Beach, Sarasota, and Naples from 2027 through 2031. The market for luxury condos here remains strong, though buyers are taking a more selective approach—focusing on truly exceptional locations and properties they believe will stand the test of time.

With over 20 years of experience in Palm Beach County and beyond, we’re always tuned in to these shifts and ready to share insights with those considering their next investment or new home. Personalized service and deep market knowledge are at the heart of what we do.

Florida's Proposed Property Tax Changes: What Property Owners Should Know About The 2026 Save Our Homes Proposal
There are some major property tax changes on the horizon here in Florida, and as dedicated Realtors serving Palm Beach County and southeast Florida, we’re always keeping an eye on anything that could impact homeowners and investors. In 2026, voters will weigh in on a proposed amendment that would increase the homestead exemption for non-school taxes to $250,000 by 2028. Additionally, the annual assessment cap for many non-homestead properties could be lowered to 5%, effective January 2027. With our decades of experience and commitment to personalized service, we’re here to help you understand how these updates might affect your property, whether you’re buying, selling, or simply planning ahead. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed and empowered in every real estate decision.
