Active Inventory Data · Sold Data Pending
Active waterfront inventory for this period has been compiled from BeachesMLS. Closed sale statistics are processed on a rolling basis and will appear as they become available. Active listing data above reflects current waterfront inventory.
MARKET OVERVIEW
Palm Beach County's waterfront market has stalled, with zero closed sales in August 2026 alongside 200 active listings, indicating severe inventory imbalance and a 200-month supply at current transaction rates. The median asking price of $898,000 remains unsupported by transaction data, making price discovery difficult as the list-to-sale ratio cannot be calculated. Properties with private dock access command a 170.9% premium over those without, suggesting that mooring infrastructure remains a meaningful pricing differentiator even as overall market liquidity deteriorates.
