Quick gut reaction. Which investment do Americans trust more than stocks, gold, savings accounts, and bonds? The answer hasn't changed in 14 years. It's real estate.

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the June edition of my monthly market update! This focuses on the housing statistics for the previous months.

📊 Palm Beach County Market Update: June 2025 – May 2026 🏡
Over the past 12 months, the Palm Beach County single-family home market showed strong resilience with some noticeable ups and downs. The median sales price started around $626,000 in June 2025 before ending at approximately $675,000 in May 2026. Overall, single-family home prices increased by about 7.8%, showing that buyer demand remains strong even as the market continues to adjust. Inventory also tightened, with active listings dropping from 6,259 to 4,946, and months of supply decreasing from 5.7 to 4.1 months, signaling a more competitive market for buyers. 🔑

The townhouse and condo market also showed positive movement during this same period. Median prices moved from about $315,000 in June 2025 to $345,000 in May 2026, an increase of roughly 9.5%. While condos and townhomes still had more inventory than single-family homes, supply decreased from 9.7 months to 7.7 months.

Overall, both property types point to a Palm Beach County market that remains strong, active, and full of opportunity for buyers and sellers. If you’re thinking of buying or selling a house, give me a call 561-571-5555 or DM me so you can start the conversation. 📈✨

One of the biggest reasons buyers are still sitting on the sidelines is because they think home prices are going to come down. Some believe a crash is coming and they'll get a better deal if they hold off. Others worry they'll buy now and watch their home's value fall later.
