Every Palm Beach repeat sale since 2021, classified from the resale listings themselves: houses sold as they stood returned 5.5 percent a year, renovations 10.0 percent, rebuilds 22.5 percent. Less an appreciation market than a redevelopment market, with the premium priced.

The island's record sale, $58M for 450 South Beach Road, closed off the MLS. Every eight-figure sale on Jupiter Island and in Jupiter Inlet Colony from 2016 through August 2026, with the acreage, the measured ocean and Intracoastal frontage, and the price per foot of beach.

All 21 residences at SeaGlass closed with the developer in ten days of November 2022 for $168.8M. Five have resold from then through August 2026, every one above cost and every one in cash, while the price per foot slid from $2,964 to $2,094. The complete record, from the deeds.

The price record of the Town of Palm Beach, 2021 to 2026. The median sale went from $8M to $12.9M and has held for three straight years, while market time more than doubled to 112 days.

The Bristol's recorded prices, the flagship's open asking range, and Edgeworth entering from $5.5M per the developer's site. What each budget opens, and what each price actually proves.

From 2021 through August 2026, 225 Palm Beach houses worth $4.1 billion sold with no closing on either MLS board, the $155M record among them. The private share of dollars fell by more than half from the 2021 peak, except at the summit.

Only one completed home in Admirals Cove or Bear's Club has sold above $3,000 per square foot through August 2026. The two Admirals Cove sales above that line were half-acre lots bought for the land. Where the ceiling sits, how fast it has moved, and what a $3,000 sale would require.

Every sale of $15 million and up in Bear's Club and Admirals Cove from 2023 through August 2026, asking price against result. Sellers who priced near recent sales kept 92 to 97 percent of the asking price. Sellers who priced well above them kept 64 to 71 percent, or sold privately below the old asking price after expiring.

Six hospitality branded projects are rising in Palm Beach County, from a Cipriani condo hotel to two Ritz-Carltons. Where Mandarin Oriental's Northwood tower fits, what a flag actually buys, and the head to head against Ritz-Carlton West Palm Beach.

An LLC keeps your name off the deed and costs you the homestead cap, about $121,769 a year by year ten on a $10 million home. A trust keeps both. What each one shows in the public record, and how the contract keeps the choice open until closing.

Only 107 of 227 recent Palm Beach sales, counted through August 2026, appeared on both of the town's MLS boards. Reading either feed alone misses a quarter to a third of the open market, including a $122.7M sale. The split, measured, and what to do about it.

Ten of Palm Beach's fifteen largest sales from 2021 through August 2026 closed on neither MLS board. The $155M private record, $4.1 billion in quiet sales, and the full year-by-year book.
