Fair-market rents by ZIP (HUD FY2026)
HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rents set a government benchmark for rents by ZIP and bedroom count. They're a useful floor for underwriting, though actual market rents vary by condition and building. (For a calibrated, property-specific estimate from real closed leases, that's what ReSharpe does inside the app.)
| ZIP | Studio | 1 BR | 2 BR | 3 BR | 4 BR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 33411 | $1,870 | $1,990 | $2,360 | $3,060 | $3,550 |
| 33412 | $1,970 | $2,090 | $2,480 | $3,210 | $3,730 |
Home-price appreciation (FHFA)
The FHFA House Price Index for the West Palm Beach–Boca Raton–Delray Beach, FL (FHFA metro division) shows how Palm Beach County prices have moved — including through the cycle, which is the part most “appreciation” claims skip:
- +71.6%5-year (11.4%/yr)
- +142.4%10-year (9.3%/yr)
- +89.5%20-year (3.2%/yr)
For context, the same index fell about 49.4% from its 2006 peak to its post-crisis trough around 2012, and now sits roughly 87.2% above that prior peak. Prices here are cyclical — underwrite on current cash flow, not on a straight line.
Investing in Royal Palm Beach: what to know
Mostly 1990s–2000s single-family and townhome HOA communities — newer and more uniform than the county's older eastern stock.
Stable, low-maintenance suburban rentals with reliable family-tenant demand; appreciation tracks the broader western-county trend.
HOA rules and leasing restrictions vary by community; newer construction means fewer structural surprises but still confirm any rental caps.
None of the above uses MLS listing data — it's government benchmarks plus general market knowledge. To analyze actual Royal Palm Beach listings with calibrated rent, valuation and condo-document review, that happens inside ReSharpe (for licensed agents), with the approach explained on the methodology page.
