Forest Glen (West Palm Beach, FL): 6 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 15-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

Over the recorded series, Forest Glen’s median sold price moved from $47,500 (2012) to $293,750 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +518% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $47,500. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Forest Glen’s median moved +100% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2024 peak of $298,969, the current median stands at -2%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 3 to 16 closings a year (10-yr average 8.9). With roughly 8.9 closings a year, Forest Glen’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
Of the 15 recorded Forest Glen closings since 2024, half landed between $285,250 and $299,484 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $275,000 and the highest $320,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $275,000 | 0 (0%) | |
| $275,000 – $283,333 | 4 (27%) | |
| $283,333 – $291,667 | 4 (27%) | |
| $291,667 – $300,000 | 3 (20%) | |
| None and up | 4 (27%) |
The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($228 vs $221) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,312–1,312 sq ft | $228 | $298,969 | $280,000 – $308,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 1,312–1,312 sq ft | $221 | $289,900 | $275,000 – $300,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 1,312–1,312 sq ft | $221 | $290,000 | $282,000 – $320,000 | 5 |

At Forest Glen’s $293,750 median and Palm Beach County’s adopted 18.72 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,500 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,730 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.
Current asking prices run a median $290,000 against the $293,750 recorded sold median (-1%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 8 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 20% of Forest Glen’s listings are under contract, against 30% for ZIP 33405 and 24% for Palm Beach County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Momentum’s market-heat index for Forest Glen reads 19/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Asking and recorded sold prices are within a few percent of each other here, so the table above is close to what a Forest Glen buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.
