Palm Beach Luxury Market Report

Method and provenance

This page applies the general method described in How we count: market report methodology. The provenance below is specific to this report.

Market definition

Town of Palm Beach records selected from a research-pack extract for ZIP 33480, postal locality Palm Beach. ZIP 33480 also serves the Town of South Palm Beach; one record there was excluded (see below). The remaining 36 rows were not individually certified against municipal boundaries, and this is not a verified census of every Town of Palm Beach sale.

Segment

Residential sales at $2,000,000+ (condominium, single-family and townhouse property types, as filtered by the source)

Reporting period

July 1, 2026 – September 30, 2026, by county recording date as described in the research pack. Recording follows closing by days to weeks.

Listing snapshot label

November 3, 2026, as supplied in the research pack; precise capture time and timezone were not supplied.

Sources

Research pack compiled from an ATTOM-derived recorded-sale extract and a Zillow for-sale listing snapshot. Underlying sale deeds, transaction folios, unit identities and live listing status were not independently verified. A separate official parcel-municipality check established the location of the excluded 3550 S Ocean building; it did not verify the underlying sale.

Lowest sale in the set

$2,175,000. The search floor was $2,000,000; this is the lowest retained transaction that met it, not a separate threshold.

Price per square foot

Total sale value of the 36 records with an interior size ($250,764,993) divided by their total interior square footage (97,409 sq ft) = $2,574. No record is dropped. The pack's $2,397 is the average of individual ratios across its 37-row postal selection, a different measure and scope. Listings: $482,578,000 / 120,064 sq ft across 33 of 35 records.

Computation

Q3 sales figures are recomputed from the 36 displayed rows. Listing figures are recomputed from the pack's 35 listing rows; price-reduction status is a pack summary, not a row field. Q2 values are supplied summary references with no change calculated. No missing size is imputed.

Addresses and identity

The extract carries no unit numbers. Five addresses appear twice with different prices, dates and sizes (2 N Breakers Row, 400 S Ocean Blvd, 100 Worth Ave, 3100 S Ocean Blvd, 2000 S Ocean Blvd); each row is kept as a separate record. The pack states that rows identical on address, amount and recording date were collapsed before delivery; that rule cannot establish unique transactions or completeness. No further rows were merged or removed.

Excluded record

3550 S Ocean Blvd, $2,100,000, recorded August 4, 2026: Palm Beach County Property Appraiser parcel records for the building give municipality South Palm Beach, and the Town of South Palm Beach's planning records list the parcel. Excluded on that geographic basis only.

Classification conflict

2335 S Ocean Blvd is classified as single-family in the research pack and as townhouse in the supplied report. Its source classification is unresolved; the property-type totals retain the pack's classification rather than independently certify it. Unsupported sale-type and vacant-lot classifications are not used.

Known limitation

Deeds are recorded after closing, so late-filed transactions can be added to the public record after publication.
