Homes in Palm Beach Gardens are selling much faster than a year ago. The typical home went under contract in a median 34 days in September, down from 78 days in September 2025.
The figure is Zillow’s median days to pending, the time from listing to an accepted offer. It is the shortest wait the city has posted in the past year. It comes from Zillow Research’s public data files, September 2026 release.
Values kept climbing too. The Zillow Home Value Index put the typical Palm Beach Gardens home at $696,122 in September. That is up 4.4% from $666,930 a year earlier, and up 0.6% from August.
The index is Zillow’s estimate of a typical home in the middle third of the market, smoothed and seasonally adjusted. It is not a sale price.
