THE CURRENT PICTURE

Begin with the evidence

Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, recorded 40 MLS-reported sales from October 15, 2025 through October 14, 2026. The median sold price was $9,075,000; median sold price per living square foot was $1,578. Active inventory stood at 18 listings on October 14, 2026. Royal Palm Y&CC’s MLS-flagged waterfront median is $16,075,000, compared with $5,625,000 at Admirals Cove (2.86 times the comparison median). Waterfront represents 40% of Royal Palm Y&CC closings and 81.1% at Admirals Cove. Owners and buyers should distinguish navigable water access from an MLS waterfront flag. All residential types are included; housing mix affects medians. These figures are market context, not an individual valuation.

The owner view

Competition, pricing, and selling pace—in practical terms

The main line on each card explains what the measure can tell an owner. Open “How this compares” for rank, the typical peer result, and calculation context.

Source: Beaches MLS · published snapshot Oct. 14, 2026. Closed-sales period: 2025-10-15 through 2026-10-14 (40 recorded closings). Published MLS community source group; all residential property types. Individual source files may have earlier update dates. Prices and market time describe sold properties, not every home. Small samples can change sharply; unavailable values are not zero.

Typical sold price

About the club · Golf and life on the water

Lifestyle at Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club

Royal Palm brings Jack Nicklaus golf, a marina and two clubhouses together in a coastal Boca Raton setting.

Location
Boca Raton
Access
Invitation-based private club; homeownership and club membership are separate
Golf
18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature course
Course design
Jack Nicklaus Signature; Nicklaus design-team renovation

I would introduce Royal Palm through the relationship between the golf course and the water. A round, a marina gathering and dinner at the Yacht Club offer different ways to enjoy the same club. Homeownership and membership are separate decisions: the club describes invitation-based selection and no residency requirement for membership consideration. A property purchase should therefore be evaluated independently of admission.

01

Golf

A Signature course and an active calendar

The Jack Nicklaus Signature course offers multiple tees, water features, strategic bunkers and protected greens. The club reports a design-team renovation completed in 2024. Tournaments, mixed events and junior instruction extend golf beyond the individual round. I would tour the course from your preferred tees and ask about the golf privileges of the membership under consideration.

Golf and junior instruction ↗

02

Marina & boating

A second anchor for club life

The marina has floating docks and a full-time dockmaster, with access toward the Intracoastal, Lake Boca Raton and the ocean. Fishing events, yachting socials and waterside gatherings at The Office make boating part of the club’s social identity. Discuss vessel dimensions, berth availability and boating requirements directly; a nearby home or club membership does not guarantee a slip.

Marina and waterways ↗

03

Racquets & lawn sports

Several routes into a regular game

Tennis and pickleball programs include lessons, leagues, mixers and youth activities. Croquet and bocce add another style of participation, including instruction and interclub matches. That variety can be appealing when household members prefer different levels of activity. Ask how newcomers find a suitable group and which sessions fit your intended season.

Athletics and programs ↗

04

Wellness & aquatics

Exercise with a marina outlook

The Wellness Center combines training, exercise classes and Pilates with spa services. Its waterside setting makes the marina part of the daily experience. The campus also includes a pool and children’s splash area. I would compare independent workouts, coached sessions and pool use to see how this part of the club serves the whole household.

Wellness and recreation ↗ · Pool and campus map ↗

05

Dining & social life

Two clubhouses, different moods

The Yacht Club’s Harbor Grille and 1959 complement the Country Club’s 19th Hole. The Office provides a casual marina setting. Wine dinners, member groups and private gatherings connect these spaces to the social calendar. Tour both clubhouses: the choice between a post-golf meal and an evening overlooking the water is part of Royal Palm’s distinction.

Dining venues ↗ · Clubhouses and member activities ↗

06

Family & guests

Junior programs within the wider club

Junior golf and tennis, youth camps and the Junior Palmers space give children ways to participate. The club describes dedicated youth activities and games alongside the adult calendar. Before planning regular family visits, review the current guest rules, supervision arrangements and registration requirements for the programs you would use.

What to explore on your first visit

Royal Palm is worth exploring when both a golf routine and a coastal social setting matter to you. I would keep three questions distinct: whether the club is a fit, whether membership can be arranged, and whether a particular home suits your residential or boating needs. Each requires its own review.

  • What admission process and membership privileges apply to your intended club use?
  • What dockage availability and vessel requirements match your boating plans?
  • How do the property’s association responsibilities differ from club and marina obligations?

Properties by street and reporting group

Counts use distinct residential tax parcels, including residential lots and redevelopment sites. Each classification separately accounts for all 653 properties. Missing or conflicting tax labels remain unassigned. Tax labels can differ from MLS reporting labels; unavailable matches are not zero. Tax housing groups combine townhouses with villas and condos with co-ops. Multifamily parcels, where eligible, count as properties rather than dwelling units.

Community-level reporting

Start with the whole-club market

The current MLS export has no reliable subdivision groups for a closer comparison. Use the club-wide sales and inventory above, then compare homes by property type, condition and price with a property-specific analysis.

The 40 recorded community closings have no separate reporting-group classification in this export. The community totals above include these sales; no subdivision counts are inferred.

Owner mailing footprint · Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club

Where owners direct their tax mail

A starting point for considering listing outreach, alongside recent sales and other market evidence.

122 of 688 parcels (17.7%) have a recorded mailing address that differs from the property address. These counts describe tax-mail destinations, not residency, unique households or where buyers moved from.

Source, scope and address matching

Prepared 2026-10-12 from the tax snapshots underlying the established property directories (source files modified 2026-09-05). These file dates do not establish a tax-roll year. This scope contains 653 developed residential parcels and 35 residential vacant lots. Commercial, common-area and agricultural classifications are excluded. Multiple parcels belonging to one owner count separately.

Capitalization, punctuation, common street abbreviations, unit labels and ZIP+4 suffixes are normalized. Recorded legal-unit aliases are used when they identify one parcel at a building; mailing to a different recorded unit remains off-property. Uncertain local street or unit variants and confidential or missing mailing details are withheld from the off-property rankings. A different mailing address elsewhere within the same community can still qualify.

Counties use the U.S. Census Geocoder. If a street cannot be matched, a county is estimated only when its 2020 Census ZIP area falls in a single county and agrees with the mailing state. A ZIP area is an approximation of postal delivery geography; ZIP-based counts are estimates. County boundaries use the 2020 vintage, including Connecticut’s historical counties. Connecticut tax assessments are maintained by towns.

Published figures contain aggregate counts only. A mailing destination can be a home, business, trustee, adviser or post-office box. Unresolved addresses may change the final rankings.

How to use this evidence

Tax-mail destinations may be personal or second residences, businesses, family offices, trusts, registered agents, attorneys or accountants. These records describe existing ownership as of the source snapshot; they do not establish primary residence, where wealth is held, buyer origin, decision-making authority or purchase intent. Long-held properties and recent purchases both appear in this ownership snapshot.

IRS migration data measures year-to-year tax-filing address changes for a different population and period. It is complementary context, not a count of incoming homebuyers. Neither dataset identifies a qualified buyer or proves future demand.

Build an outreach plan around the property

Combine the ownership mailing footprint with relevant sales, pricing and the home’s specific appeal when considering listing distribution.

Community market context

How Royal Palm Y&CC compares

Admirals Cove and Frenchman's Creek provide market context and are not necessarily direct substitutes.

BeachesMLS snapshot: 2026-10-14. Closed sales: 2025-10-15 through 2026-10-14. Active listings use the same published snapshot. Source exports for these communities were last modified 2026-10-13, 2026-10-14; exports without activity are carried forward under the confirmed source refresh process.

Why these comparisons

Admirals Cove

WaterfrontPrice

Admirals Cove connects Royal Palm’s yacht-and-golf setting to a waterfront club community in Jupiter. Royal Palm recorded 16 MLS-flagged waterfront closings; use the waterfront pricing rows to examine that segment separately from the overall market.

Frenchman's Creek

WaterfrontClub lifestyle

Frenchman’s Creek extends Royal Palm’s comparison to another water-oriented club setting in the north county. Royal Palm reports a waterfront median sold price of $16,075,000; compare the waterfront rows alongside each community’s share of waterfront sales.

What stands out

Comparison data rules

Median values require at least 5 eligible observations for that metric. Historical percentage changes require at least 10 eligible price-per-living-SF observations in each endpoint year. Below those thresholds, “Limited sample” shows the count. Counts remain visible; unavailable values are not zero. A closing is counted once by parcel, close date and sold price. Conflicting living-area or market-time values on duplicate closing records are excluded from that metric’s sample. These comparison thresholds can be stricter than the owner-view cards above.

Months of supply = active listings ÷ (trailing-12 closed sales ÷ 12); it requires at least 5 trailing-12 closed sales. Availability divides active MLS listings by residential parcels in the independent tax file, including residential vacant lots and excluding nonresidential parcels. Property-type months of supply uses the same formula within single-family, condo, and townhome/villa cohorts.

Each 1-, 5- and 10-year $/living-SF comparison uses transaction-level ClosePrice ÷ LivingArea and compares January 1–October 14 in 2026 with the same calendar window in 2025, 2021, 2016. Each endpoint requires at least 10 usable sales. These are changes in sold-property medians, not a repeat-sales index or an individual home’s appreciation.

Waterfront means the MLS WaterfrontYN field is true. It includes lakefront and other water settings and does not verify navigable boating access, a dock or ocean access. Shares use all closed sales as the denominator; any unknown classifications are disclosed.

Property types follow the MLS classification on the selected closing record. Tax housing stock uses county land-use classifications; townhouses and MLS villas are shown together for the attached-home supply view. A zero-sale type has no supported median.

What this market shows

In Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, 88 of 236 recorded contracts in 2021–2025 were signed from February through April (37.3%). March had the most contracts: 33.

February–April accounted for 31.6% of 282 contracts in 2015–2019. The later share was 5.7 percentage points higher. This compares different homes over two complete five-year periods; it does not establish the best listing date for an individual property.

MLS file last updated: September 27, 2026. Contracts are grouped by PurchaseContractDate; 2020 and the partial 2026 year are excluded from the comparisons. All residential property types are included.

Economic context

Demand conditions around the report period

These official series help frame financing and local labor conditions. They are context—not evidence that any one factor caused a change in this market.

How these figures are calculated

Monthly medians are calculated from eligible closed MLS sales and always show their sample count. Median Days on Market measures elapsed days from the listing's on-market or listing-contract date to its purchase-contract date; fewer days indicate a faster pace and more days indicate a slower pace, without treating either direction as universally better or worse. Changes use the prior complete month and the same month one year earlier; an em dash marks a comparison without a valid baseline. Observation and interpretation are kept separate; no economic series is presented as a cause of local market movement.

Paste this request into an AI assistant that can read websites. It will use the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club community page to create a report around your interests using only this website’s published content.

Create a report about Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club using https://davidabernathy.com/country-clubs/royal-palm-yacht-and-country-club. Use only DavidAbernathy.com; do not search the wider web or open external links.

Use preferences I have already given. If report length or priorities are missing, ask once in one message: “Would you like a brief overview or a detailed report, and what matters most to you?” After my answer, write the report directly.

Organize it as Lifestyle → Market → Properties. Use the site’s published figures and dates. Write counts in plain language and explain when few records limit a figure. Omit information the site does not provide. If you cannot read the page, ask me to paste its text.

Put David Abernathy’s credit, the preparation date and source-page link in the footer only.

For another community or waterfront area, open its page on DavidAbernathy.com and copy that page’s own report prompt. Its instructions reflect the property setting and the evidence available there.

Read the full report instructions
Create a polished, standalone report about Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club using https://davidabernathy.com/country-clubs/royal-palm-yacht-and-country-club. The reader may never have visited the website. Write as a knowledgeable real estate agent introducing the club, its strengths and how it could fit a household’s life.

USE ONLY DAVIDABERNATHY.COM
Use only https://davidabernathy.com/country-clubs/royal-palm-yacht-and-country-club, relevant linked community reports, methodology and buyer guidance on DavidAbernathy.com (davidabernathy.com or www.davidabernathy.com). Read those pages and these report instructions. Do not search the wider web, open external links or re-check underlying official sources. Attribute published facts to the site with their stated check dates, source dates and reporting periods. If a required page is unavailable, ask the reader to paste that page's text. Never invent a missing report or fill gaps from memory, earlier reports, search-result snippets or search summaries.

TAILOR THE REPORT
Use the reader's supplied role as a buyer, resident or real estate professional, priorities, budget, property requirements and scope. If report length is not given, ask whether they want a brief overview or a longer detailed report. Combine that choice with only useful missing preferences in at most one initial message. Do not require every intake field or repeat supplied answers. Possible priorities include golf, wellness, family and guests, dining and social life, price and market conditions, or particular home requirements. Tailor the emphasis to those answers. For a buyer, help them understand the community and make a focused search. For a resident, explain the lifestyle and current market context. For a real estate professional, emphasize supported comparisons, client fit and useful questions. Do not invent personal experience or assume preferences the reader has not given. If no initial question is needed, write the report immediately. After the reader answers, write the report directly. Do not ask for plan approval or confirmation to begin. If optional preferences remain unspecified, proceed without inventing them.

FOLLOW THIS ORDER: LIFESTYLE → MARKET → PROPERTIES

1. LIFESTYLE
Introduce the community and explain what gives it its appeal. Cover golf and practice, fitness and wellness, pools, family activities, dining and social life, guest accommodations and the setting where supported. Connect these offerings to practical household use, rather than simply listing amenities. Use the club information published on DavidAbernathy.com and link that community report beside relevant claims, preserving its information-check date and source attribution. Clearly distinguish existing offerings from planned facilities, and preserve any stated project dates. Do not promise membership, access, availability or unverified amenities.

2. MARKET
Explain buyer choice using active listings as a percentage of total residential properties, when both measures are supported. Include trailing-12-month sales, median sold price, median sold price per living square foot, selling time, months of supply and reported cash purchases where available. Explain what each measure means for the reader. Use a concise annual price chart for perspective when the data supports it. Label partial years, figures based on only a few sales and changing property mix. Community medians are not an individual property valuation or a repeat-sales appreciation measure. Avoid unexplained rankings or unsupported market claims.

3. PROPERTIES AND COMMUNITY
Describe the residential footprint and supported property types, sizes, lots, setting, condition or renovation considerations. Include the total property count and verified homestead counts and percentages where available. A short owner-mailing overview may include verified state or country destination counts. Mailing destinations must never be presented as owner origins, nationalities, primary residency, unique households or purchase intent. Homestead tax coding does not establish actual occupancy. Do not infer estate-area groups or property characteristics that the sources do not support.

FINISH WITH USEFUL NEXT QUESTIONS
Offer a short set of visit or search questions tied to the reader’s priorities. Include membership eligibility, current costs and obligations, golf access, family and guest arrangements, and planned-project timing where relevant. Treat unverified answers as questions for the club or agent, not as established facts.

EVIDENCE AND DATES
Use the published website content you actually read. Preserve each source’s stated update date, reporting period, definitions and the number of usable records behind each measure. Distinguish the date the report is prepared from the dates of its evidence. Use the source dates and periods published on the community page; do not infer an exact MLS file-update date from today’s date, the latest transaction or the date you opened the page. If sources have different cutoffs, keep those differences visible. Do not silently recalculate a different period.

Use only the website's published evidence or its page text pasted by the reader. Do not retrieve original MLS or tax files, use other uploaded data or fill gaps from outside sources. Omit optional metrics or details not published on the site. Turn decision-relevant gaps into recommendations within the report for the reader to confirm later with the appropriate professional; do not make that confirmation a prerequisite to writing. Do not invent answers or add routine “not available” rows for optional information. Attribute published facts to DavidAbernathy.com and clearly label any simple calculation from its published figures. Use aggregate community information; do not reproduce private owner identities or addresses.

PRESENTATION
Write supporting counts in plain language in text, tables and charts, such as “18 sales” or “based on 18 properties”. Use the actual count and type of records behind each figure; sales, listings and properties are different. Avoid statistical symbols, count shorthand and unexplained abbreviations. Explain in everyday language when only a few records or missing data limit a conclusion.

Use warm, professional prose that stands on its own. Include a table or chart only when supported and useful for the requested report length. Keep the progression clear: lifestyle first, market second, properties third. Avoid exaggeration, invented personal experience and unsupported fees, capacity or access guarantees. Return a clearly formatted report in the conversation. Create a file or preview only if the reader requests one.

A useful boundary

Market context is not a property valuation

Periods, formulas, and data limits

Source roles: BeachesMLS supplies community membership, listing status, dates, prices, living area, financing, MLS property type, waterfront flags and active inventory. Palm Beach County property-tax records supply residential parcel/property counts and county classifications used for street/group tables, housing-stock denominators and availability. Tax records do not determine MLS sales, MLS property type, waterfront status or an individual property’s value.

Annual appreciation shows the percentage change in median sold price per living square foot from the previous calendar year. Both adjacent years need usable sales; the latest year is incomplete. Different properties sell each year, so this is market context rather than an individual property's gain.

List-to-sale price ratio is the median of each eligible sale's closing price divided by its last recorded MLS asking price, multiplied by 100. A result of 95% means 5% below that asking price; 100% means at asking price. Missing or nonpositive asking prices are excluded, original asking prices are not substituted, and seller concessions are not deducted. See the MLS price-field definitions.

Current sales, price, price per living square foot, and market time use the verified trailing-12-month comparison period. Active inventory is a current listing snapshot. Months of supply is current inventory divided by the trailing sales pace.

10-Year Market Appreciation is the 2017–2026 YTD change in annual median sold $/living sq ft, calculated only when both boundary years have transactions. A market report helps establish context; renovation, lot, membership, view, floor plan, and private condition still require a property-specific review.
