Palm Coast Real Estate Market Trends: Summer 2025 Update

The Palm Coast real estate market continues to evolve in 2025. Rising mortgage rates have cooled the frenzy we saw in 2022, yet demand for coastal living keeps prices resilient. This Summer 2025 update breaks down the latest numbers and what they mean for buyers and sellers.

Median Home Prices

  • Single‑family median: $405,000 (up 4.2% year‑over‑year)
  • Condo median: $295,000 (flat year‑over‑year)
  • Luxury waterfront median: $1.1 million (up 6.8%)

Inventory Levels

Active listings have risen to 2.3 months of supply—still a seller’s market, but offering buyers more choice than last summer’s 1.6 months.

Buyer Demand

  • 46% of June inquiries came from out‑of‑state buyers, led by New York and Georgia.
  • Cash purchases account for 38% of all sales, reflecting strong investor activity.

New Construction Pipeline

Over 1,200 new single‑family permits were issued in Flagler County during Q2 2025, with master‑planned communities like Matanzas Lakes and Sawmill Creek leading the way.

What This Means for Sellers

  • Proper pricing is critical; over‑priced homes sat 42 days longer on market.
  • Homes staged for the coastal lifestyle sold 11% faster.

Tips for Buyers

  • Get pre‑approved before touring; multiple‑offer situations are still common under $450k.
  • Consider new construction for more inventory and builder incentives.

Flagler County Economic Snapshot

Flagler County’s unemployment rate sits at 3.4%, and AdventHealth’s new hospital campus is adding 400 jobs, both factors that support housing demand.
