Market Update: Palm Beach County, FL

Luxury Home sales across Southern Florida have risen 213.3% year-over-year as demand continues from relocating Northeast and West Coast buyers according to a recent report from the Miami Association of Realtors.

South Florida has been a hot commodity throughout the second quarter of 2021. Pent-up demand combined with record-low mortgage rates and relocating Americans, including companies from across the U.S. 

The result is a 95.1% increase in home sales since last year, while luxury home sales ($1 million and up) increased 213.3%. according to the Miami Association of Realtors. In addition, 52.3% of all Palm Beach closed transactions in Q2 were cash.

Total sales of single-family homes throughout Palm Beach County increased from 3,600 to 5,996, a 63.8% increase. Condominium sales increased from 2,395 to 5,817 for a total increase of 142.9%. Luxury Condominium sales increased 336% year-over-year.

“Luxury home sales continue to spearhead the rise in total transactions and dollar volume as more U.S. individuals and companies move to South Florida.” – JTHS-MIAMI President Bill Mate reported.

Low inventory, especially for single-family homes is a contributing factor. Alleviation could come from increasing sellers listing their homes in the future.
