San Matera The Gardens Condo
Homes for Sale in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

San Matera The Gardens Condo market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $318K ($262 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 56 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is up 2% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level Beaches MLS closed sales (17 closings in the current window).

San Matera The Gardens Condo offers budget-conscious access to Palm Beach Gardens with a median sale price in the low-to-mid $300s, but the tradeoff is older construction, longer market times, and minimal community amenities captured in current listings.

The median close is $317,500—a gateway number for Palm Beach Gardens, where much of the newer product trades well above that threshold. You are buying into an established condominium community where the bones are older and the value proposition hinges entirely on individual unit condition and owner investment. Walk every unit with a sharp eye: original kitchens, popcorn ceilings, and dated baths will limit your resale pool, while turnkey renovations command the top of the range.

At 56 days on market and a heat score of 45, this is a buyer's negotiation environment. Listings linger, which means you have time to do proper due diligence—review association financials, confirm reserve funding, check for pending special assessments, and verify what capital projects are on the horizon. MLS records show no dedicated community amenities in the current data set, so you are not paying for resort-style pools, fitness centers, or gated entry; you are paying for the Palm Beach Gardens zip code and proximity to shopping, dining, and major corridors.

Appreciation over the past year has been modest at 2.4 percent, trailing both the county average and the hotter condominium segments. Seventeen closings in the window indicate steady but unspectacular activity. If you need forced equity or rapid price growth, this is the wrong play. If you need an affordable foothold in a desirable city and are comfortable with the reality of older construction and slower turns, the math can work—but only if you buy the right unit at the right number.

Momentum Realty brokers know how to underwrite older condominium product. We will pull association documents before you make an offer, flag any red flags in reserve studies or meeting minutes, and help you model what a special assessment would do to your monthly carry cost. In a community where condition drives value and days-on-market give you leverage, we negotiate from data, not emotion, and we will tell you when a listing is overpriced or when a unit needs more work than the discount justifies. You get honest counsel and the market intelligence that comes from working this segment every day.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
