Mortgage Broker
in West Palm Beach, FL
West Palm Beach is a coastal metro with a booming luxury segment and a more mixed, slower-moving non-luxury market. We help you plan your mortgage in a city where the experience looks very different at $500,000 than it does at the top 5 percent.
A coastal market
with booming luxury and mixed overall trends.
Redfin currently rates West Palm Beach as a not very competitive housing market. Over the three months ending July 2026, the median sale price was about $492,253, up 8.2 percent year over year, and homes sold in around 86 days on average compared with 95 days a year earlier. Monthly medians here swing widely, so direction matters more than any single month.
The median sale price per square foot was about $291, up 14.1 percent year over year. There were 559 homes sold in July 2026, up from 416 the year prior. Meanwhile, a March 2026 Redfin report highlights that luxury pending home sales in West Palm Beach rose 30 percent year over year, the largest increase among the 50 most populous U.S. metros.
That same luxury analysis notes that luxury prices jumped roughly 11 percent, more than double the national gain, and that West Palm Beach luxury prices have soared about 187 percent over the past decade, driven by an influx of finance firms and high-net-worth buyers. In short, luxury and non-luxury West Palm Beach are behaving very differently.
“West Palm Beach is two markets in one: a booming luxury sector and a slower, discount-oriented mainstream segment.”

We work with both luxury and non-luxury buyers: from professionals crossing the $500K threshold to high-net-worth borrowers entering “Wall Street South.”

We align your mortgage with compensation packages from finance and professional services firms relocating to the area.
We explain occupancy, reserve, and insurance requirements so a West Palm property fits into your broader financial plan.

Why West Palm Beach feels like
two markets sharing one name.
A million square feet of new offices at CityPlace, a 27-story hotel-and-residences tower rising on Lakeview, and a steady pipeline of downtown condo towers show the “Wall Street South” build-out is still accelerating.
Construction is progressing on the 10 and 15 CityPlace office towers downtown, which together will deliver roughly one million square feet of Class A office space for the finance and professional firms moving in.
The 27-story Mr. C Hotel & Residences on Lakeview Avenue is under construction with 110 hotel suites and 146 branded residences, adding another luxury address near the waterfront.
In August 2026 alone, a 25-story residential tower was filed for 464 Fern Street and the 25-story Banyan Tree Residences won unanimous downtown committee approval, keeping the residential pipeline full into the late 2020s.
“West Palm Beach rewards buyers who know which segment they are actually in and structure the loan to match.”

Who is driving luxury demand here?+
Redfin notes an influx of finance firms and wealthy out-of-towners, hence the “Wall Street South” nickname, fueling a 187 percent decade-long surge in luxury prices.
Do I need a jumbo loan to buy in West Palm Beach?+
Many purchases at or above the $492K median, and nearly all luxury deals, can trigger high-balance or jumbo territory depending on down payment and county limits. We compare both structures.
When should I refinance a West Palm Beach home?+
When the new structure improves your long-term cost or risk profile given your specific segment, luxury or non-luxury. We analyze both paths before recommending a refinance move.
