A personal welcome

Palm Beach County luxury real estate, community by community

There are plenty of real estate websites where you can browse beautiful properties and search for your dream home. This one is about something different.

For 18 years, I worked behind the scenes at Waterfront Properties, helping agents explain the market to their sellers and buyers. Now I’ve created a resource to help you more directly. Here you can see what’s actually happening in Palm Beach County’s luxury market, one community at a time, from the country clubs to the waterfront: what’s selling, what buyers are paying, how long homes take to sell, and how much competition sellers face.

Whether you’re thinking about selling, considering a purchase, or simply curious about your own community, welcome. I invite you to reach out whenever I can help.

For property owners

Before you sell, know where you stand

Pick your community to see how its market is moving — how values have changed over time, how fast homes are selling, and how much is for sale — based on MLS sales and listings. Then see how it compares with similar markets and the ten-year history behind it, down to subdivisions, streets, zones or floors where available.

How these figures work

When several communities are combined, each sale is counted once from the underlying records; the figures are not averages of the community figures. A median, average or share appears only when it rests on enough sales: 1% of the residential properties in that market. Read the full methodology.

A more informed perspective

Beautiful places. Evidence you can inspect.

01 / Specific

The right comparison

Move from a collection to a community, then into the subdivisions and streets that make it distinct.

02 / Transparent

The numbers, explained

See the source date, the time period, the formula and the size of the sales sample alongside the insight.

03 / Human

Context still matters

A renovation, a golf membership or a boat’s route to the inlet can change the decision. A median cannot answer everything.

A few questions worth asking

Before you list your property

How should a seller compare country-club properties?

Start with similar property types, locations and features. Then compare completed sales, competing listings and time to contract. The country-club comparison includes all residential property types, so look closer at the mix of homes in each community. Ask the club directly about membership eligibility, availability, fees and whether purchasing a home requires membership. A property purchase does not by itself establish membership.

What makes one waterfront home different from another?

Oceanfront, Intracoastal, river and canal settings offer different experiences. Boat draft, bridge clearance, water depth, dock permission and the route to an inlet require property-specific verification. Compare similar waterfront settings before treating a market median as a price benchmark.

Does a higher months-of-supply figure mean a home is overpriced?

No. Months of supply is the number of active listings divided by the average monthly pace of trailing closed sales. It describes supply relative to recent activity. It does not determine a particular home’s value or predict its selling time.

Does historical appreciation measure what my home gained?

No. The market reports compare annual median sold price per living square foot. Different homes sell in different years, and a partial current year is not a complete-year comparison. It is market context, not a repeat-sales index or an individual valuation.
