West Palm Beach Real Estate Topping Off the Florida Market

As a result of the real estate craze taking the United States by storm, “a number of Florida cities are seeing their values catapult in a sort of rolling bull market where various regions take turns at the top of the heap.”

West Palm Beach real estate is currently some of the strongest in Florida, placing 15th on the list of housing price appreciation. During the first quarter, West Palm Beach real estate pricing rose 25.8 percent.

The one downside to the West Palm Beach real estate market boom is that there is little room left for new construction. However, as of the 2000 census, there were 34,769 housing units in West Palm Beach, which means there is still great market potential for existing property sales. Ultimately, only time will tell if West Palm Beach real estate has the staying power necessary to keep it at the top of Florida’s real estate market.
