Combined owner mailing footprint

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

3,608 of 16,874 parcels (21.4%) 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.

Combined Distinctive Communities total: 16,874 distinct parcels across 13 community reports. Each parcel is counted once. Totals describe this category’s covered tax inventory.

463 address comparisons need review. 244 have unavailable or confidential mailing details; 219 have possible same-property street or unit variations. They are included in the parcel total and excluded from both the same-property and off-property counts below.

Communities included in this total

Shared development inventories and overlapping area reports are deduplicated by parcel ID for this category. A parcel may belong to more than one category; the five category totals should not be added together.

Source, scope and address matching

Prepared October 12, 2026 from the tax snapshots underlying the established property directories (source files modified September 5, 2026). These file dates do not establish a tax-roll year. This scope contains 15,829 developed residential parcels and 1,045 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.

When have buyers put homes under contract?

All 13 distinctive communities, combined by recorded contract month. These bars add the saved monthly counts for each community; they describe the collection rather than an average community or all of Palm Beach County.

Full calendar years 2015–2019 and 2021–2025; 2020 and partial 2026 are excluded. Contract month differs from listing and closing month.

2015–20192021–2025
Distinctive Communities collection contracts by recorded contract date, full calendar years. Bars show contract counts, not rates; the period totals are 3,783 in 2015–2019 and 3,946 in 2021–2025. Both periods meet the 1% display minimum. 2020 and partial 2026 are excluded.
Source coverage and reporting limits

The 1% display minimum is 169 recorded contracts per period, from 16,873 distinct residential properties in this area and property-type scope, including verified residential vacant lots. Current tax inventory is used for these historical windows; historical parcel counts are unavailable. This display rule does not establish statistical reliability.

In the Distinctive Communities collection, 1,190 of 3,946 recorded contracts in 2021–2025 were signed from February through April (30.2%). April had the most contracts: 413.

February–April accounted for 29.3% of 3,783 contracts in 2015–2019. The later share was 0.8 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.

The 1% display minimum is 169 recorded contracts per period, from 16,873 distinct residential properties in this area and property-type scope, including verified residential vacant lots. Current tax inventory is used for these historical windows; historical parcel counts are unavailable. This display rule does not establish statistical reliability. Monthly differences can be sensitive to a few transactions and to the mix of properties represented.

Contracts are grouped by recorded contract date; 2020 and the partial 2026 year are excluded from the comparisons. All residential property types are included.

Use this history alongside current inventory and your home’s readiness. Combining the saved community studies does not fill gaps in individual source histories or establish the best listing date for a particular home.

Cash / terms

Across the 13 communities, 416 of 866 purchases with reported terms were cash (48.0%). This is the combined count of the same 866 trailing-year closings used on the Market pages, from October 26, 2025 through October 25, 2026.

Cash and financing, market by market

Compare how recent buyers completed their purchases. Cash and other financing shares use only sales with known buyer financing; unknown or conflicting records are shown separately. Other reported financing can include mortgages and other arrangements. Both percentages require the measured area’s 1% display minimum of known-financing sales. Counts and single-transaction results are labeled.

Cash plus other reported financing equals known financing. Known plus unknown financing equals closed sales. Markets can overlap and must not be added together.

Compare the actual offer price, proof of funds or loan approval, contingencies and proposed timing. Past cash purchases do not establish a cash-only requirement or prove that a particular offer is stronger.
