What the Numbers Mean for Palm Beach County Distressed Property Buyers
- Vacancy. About 15.8% of Palm Beach County's housing units (114,033 homes) were vacant in the 2020–2024 ACS, above the U.S. figure of 10.1%. That count includes homes for rent, for sale, and seasonal homes, so it is a market-wide signal rather than a count of distressed homes; our county list is what identifies the distressed ones.
- Housing age. The median home in Palm Beach County was built in 1986, close to the U.S. median (1980), so distressed homes here span a typical mix of repair needs.
- Prices. The median home value of $447,300 is 34% above the U.S. median of $332,700, and equals 5.4 times the county's median household income of $83,581. A high price-to-income ratio means any discount to market value is large in dollar terms, which is why wholesalers watch spreads closely in counties like this.
- Tenure. 70.1% of occupied homes in Palm Beach County are owner-occupied versus 29.9% renter-occupied, close to the national split. Expect a mix of owner-occupant and landlord-owned distress.
- Growth. Palm Beach County grew 5.6% between 2020 and 2025. Growing counties keep buyer demand and rehab resale values supported, which helps investors exit deals.
