Over the recorded series, Kelsey City’s median sold price moved from $85,000 (2012) to $473,000 (12 months ending 2026-07-15) — +456% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $85,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Kelsey City’s median moved +60% from 2019 to 2022. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 19 to 53 closings a year (10-yr average 42.5).
Of the 85 recorded Kelsey City closings since 2024, half landed between $390,000 and $525,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $275,000 and the highest $1,499,000. 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 $350,000 | 11 (13%) | |
| $350,000 – $416,667 | 24 (28%) | |
| $416,667 – $483,333 | 15 (18%) | |
| $483,333 – $550,000 | 21 (25%) | |
| None and up | 14 (16%) |
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 ($346 vs $275) — 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 870–1,326 sq ft | $346 | $401,000 | $275,000 – $530,000 | 28 |
| Mid-size homes 1,341–1,626 sq ft | $323 | $477,500 | $330,000 – $1,499,000 | 28 |
| Larger homes 1,638–3,228 sq ft | $275 | $505,000 | $330,500 – $812,000 | 29 |
At Kelsey City’s $473,000 median and Palm Beach County’s adopted 18.72 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $8,850 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $8,080 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.
Momentum’s market-heat index for Kelsey City reads 68/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
The table above is the closed-sale record to price a Kelsey City home against; asking prices are an opening position, recorded closings are the value.
