Over the recorded series, LAKE IDA’s median sold price moved from $397,500 (2012) to $2,075,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-10) — +422% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $397,500. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — LAKE IDA’s median moved +114% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2024 peak of $2,625,000, the current median stands at -21%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 6 to 18 closings a year (10-yr average 11.2). Small-community 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 in the table above.
Current asking prices run a median $4,047,000 against the $2,075,000 recorded sold median (+95%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 6 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of LAKE IDA’s listings are under contract, against 26% for ZIP 33433 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 LAKE IDA reads 58/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
For buyers, the same table reads the other way: the sold medians above are what the market has actually been paying — an asking price meaningfully above the recent closed record, in a community absorbing at the rates shown, is an opening position, not a value.
The pattern in the statewide failure data applies here too: homes priced against the latest closed sales sell; homes priced against hope join the 201,552 that didn’t. The table above is the closed-sale record to price against.
