PBP Data Desk™: South Florida Housing Data (2026)

PBP Real Estate publishes 17 research pages from BeachesMLS and public data for Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, Martin and St. Lucie counties, refreshed every day; dated editions keep their original figures; free to cite with attribution, houses and condos always reported separately. This page lists them with the latest headline, the geography, the refresh cadence and the download, and carries four quick indices that have no page of their own: over-list sale share, new-listing absorption, cash share and the waterfront premium. As of October 18, 2026.

How many homes sold above asking, how fast is inventory building, who pays cash?

In the 30 days to October 18, 2026, 20.2% of houses and 12.1% of condos and townhouses in the five counties closed at or above the original asking price; 6,200 houses came on the market against 3,034 that went under contract, an absorption ratio of 2.04, and 2.81 for condos and townhouses. Cash paid for 32.9% of house sales and 53.8% of condo and townhouse sales. These four are published here daily with the county split below; the download carries every cell.

Over-list share uses the original asking price, the first price the listing carried, so a sale at a reduced price that later drew a bid above that reduced price does not count. Median close to original ask is the median of close price divided by original asking price. Absorption counts every listing with an MLS purchase-contract date in the window whatever its status today. Cash share is of sales with a financing type recorded (99.8% of closings on this feed).

What is the waterfront premium for houses?

Across the five counties, houses flagged waterfront in the MLS closed at a median 5.8% more per square foot of living area than houses not flagged, trailing 90 days (1,764 waterfront and 8,317 other closings). The county figures are in the houses table above; the city table shows where the gap is widest. The flag covers ocean, Intracoastal, river, canal and lake frontage alike, and the comparison is across different houses, so it is a market reading, not the worth of frontage on any one lot. Condos are not included because the MLS waterfront flag on a condo describes the building, not the unit.

How to cite and reuse

• Attribution: "PBP Data Desk, PBP Real Estate analysis of BeachesMLS listing data" (or the index name where it has one) with a link to the page the figure came from. No permission needed. Charts may be screenshotted or embedded with the caption kept.
• Editions are frozen. A figure with a date never changes; if a number is restated it is logged at the corrections log and the page says "revised".
• Aggregates only. Every download is a table of counts, shares and medians; no addresses, listing numbers or listing-level records are published or provided.
• Reporters: press kits with charts and one-paragraph summaries sit at /press/. For a figure not on any page, or a comparison across cities, email info@pbpre.com or call 561-395-8418; Gia Freer, Broker of Record, is available for comment on what the data means for sellers and buyers, not on any building, association or client.
• Quick indices download: 2026-10-18.csv (this edition) or latest.
• Machine-readable catalog: every dataset on this site, with page URL, window, as-of date and download, as schema.org JSON-LD at /data/catalog.json, and as plain text for AI agents at /llms-full.txt. Both rebuild with every deploy; the terms are the same as above.

What these pages never do

No page estimates what a particular home is worth, and none is a forecast. Houses are never averaged with condos; a "homes" figure on these pages is always shown as two figures. Shares are suppressed below 30 listings and medians below 5 sales. The MLS feed covers listings permitted for internet display, which runs at roughly 85% of the county-recorded total, so counts are disclosed and ratios are what to trust. If your own question is what your house or condo should be listed at, that answer comes from a person who has seen it: how PBP prices a listing.
