Northwood right now

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 7.2 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Beaches MLS records, as of August 10, 2026. Confidence: Medium (3 active and pending listings, 5 closed sales in 12 months).

🟢 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($905K) is up 62.4% from the prior 12 months ($558K) and up 775% since 2012. With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Beaches MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending August 10.

If we were buying in Northwood today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Northwood.

A closer look at the Northwood market

At a median of $481 per square foot, Northwood prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.

Inventory runs at 7.2 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market and the trailing-12-month median up 62% year over year. Homes that do trade take a median 80 days on market, useful leverage on any listing that has lingered.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Northwood. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

What it really costs to own in Northwood

The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.

Property taxCurrent owners' bills run a median of $6,699/yr across 7 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-10-13).
Home and flood insuranceThe average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Palm Beach County is $1,753/yr (18,387 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. Flood: of 8 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 100% sit outside the high-risk zone. Statewide, a Zone X flood policy runs about $500-$700/yr and a high-risk zone $1,200-$2,500/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not quotes).
Roof and ageMedian build year 1948 across 8 listings. An original roof here would be about 78 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails.
