How to read the Palm Beach Gardens numbers
The flag is not the water. Every row above counts as "waterfront" in the MLS. Only 7% of Palm Beach Gardens's waterfront listings record a private dock, and 28% sit on water that leads to the ocean. A buyer who prices a canal home off the city-wide waterfront median is using the wrong number, in whichever direction.
Asking is not closing. These are list prices. Closed waterfront sales in the tri-county settle below ask in the current market; the size of that gap on a specific property is exactly what Deal Radar™ is built to return.
