About 22% of county listings currently carry a price cut, which tells you how much negotiating room the average seller has already conceded.

What it costs to own in Lakes at the Bluffs
On a median-priced Lakes at the Bluffs home ($400,000), property taxes at Palm Beach County’s typical millage of 18.7191 run roughly $6,552 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.
The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Palm Beach County is about $1,753 a year (April 2026 filings); private-market quotes differ, and a good agent will tell you which carriers are actually writing here.
Run the real numbers before you commit: what selling nets you, whether your Save Our Homes benefit moves with you, and rent vs buy in Palm Beach County.
At Lakes at the Bluffs’s $400,000 median and Palm Beach County’s adopted 18.72 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $7,490 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,710 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Palm Beach County tax page.

Typical asking rent across Palm Beach County sits near $2,648 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 2.9% year over year.

If you’re buying in Lakes at the Bluffs

Top listing agents vs. buyer’s agents in Lakes at the Bluffs
