The headline numbers

42 homes closed in Belle Glade over the trailing twelve months at a median of $338,500.

48 listings are currently active, but only 23 of them are residential: the rest is land and commercial.

10 are under contract.

Sold listings averaged 22 days on market, the fastest figure of any city in this set by a clear margin. Active listings are averaging 65.

The active inventory prices at a median $219 per square foot.

All figures were measured on 25 September 2026. With a sample this small, treat every one as indicative rather than precise.

A very small market, and what that means

With 42 residential sales over twelve months and 23 residential listings active, this is by far the thinnest market measured here.

Comparable evidence is correspondingly thin, so a valuation should be a range with named sales rather than a single confident figure.

Automated valuations perform poorly here because the models have very little local data to work from.

Anyone quoting a precise figure for a market this size is guessing rather than analysing, and it is worth saying so.

A buyer who specifically wants Belle Glade has very little choice, which supports price on a well-presented property.

Equally, few buyers are looking in any given month, so exposure beyond the town is what actually finds a purchaser.

The fastest sold days on market in the county

Sold listings averaged 22 days from listing to accepted offer, well ahead of the next fastest city.

Active listings are averaging 65 days, so the gap exists but is not extreme by county standards.

The 22-day figure is the most useful planning number here: a correctly priced Belle Glade home does not wait long.

It suggests genuine unmet local demand at the right price rather than a stagnant market.

Homes closed at a median 94.8% of their original asking price and only 79% closed below what they first asked.

That 79% is among the lowest proportions in this set, so more sellers here get their number than in most of the county.

Almost no association involvement

Only 9% of active listings sit in an association, the lowest share of any city in this set.

The median monthly fee across the few that do is $159, also the lowest measured.

For the overwhelming majority of sellers that means no estoppel fee, no board approval and no assessment risk.

Not one active listing is in a building of three storeys or more, so the milestone inspection question does not apply at all.

The closing is consequently simpler and often faster than in an association-heavy market.

It also means the buyer has fewer documents to review, which removes a common source of delay.

The oldest housing stock in the county

87% of active listings were built before 1980 and the median year built is 1965, the oldest of any city in this set.

9% were built in 2010 or later, so there is a small modern minority.

That age profile makes age-related inspection findings near certain rather than likely.

Roof age is the first filter an insurer applies, and a financed buyer who cannot get a policy cannot get a mortgage.

Cast iron and galvanized plumbing both appear throughout this stock and both draw underwriter attention.

83% of the stock is concrete block, which helps, but the roof, plumbing and panel questions remain.

Buyer financing is the real constraint

Only 10 rental listings are active here, at a $950 median asking rent, which tells you this is an owner-occupier market rather than an investor one.

Buyers are generally local and financed, which makes insurability the question that decides who can complete.

Government-insured lending is common at this price point, and those loans carry condition requirements at appraisal.

Peeling paint, damaged flooring or a compromised roof can each trigger a repair requirement before a loan will close.

Addressing those before listing is cheaper than renegotiating under a contract with a closing date attached.

It is also the difference between the 22-day outcome and a sale that falls through at the appraisal stage.

Land and commercial are half the inventory

Of the 48 active listings, 19 are single-family homes, 14 are land, 11 are commercial and 4 are multi-family.

That composition is unlike anywhere else in this set and it reflects the town's agricultural economy.

For a house seller it means the visible listing count overstates your competition considerably.

The interquartile range for residential runs from $288,000 at the 25th percentile to $425,000 at the 75th, a tight spread.

Only 4% of active residential listings are waterfront and 9% have a pool.

Not one is in an age-restricted community, the only city in this set where that is true.

The rental market, if you are weighing selling against letting

With only 10 active rental listings at a $950 median, there is very little evidence about achievable rent here.

Against a $338,500 median sale price that median rent is roughly 3.4% of value annually before costs, the weakest ratio measured.

The numbers do not favour holding as a rental in Belle Glade on that evidence.

Costs would then take a real bite: insurance on 1965-era stock, taxes, maintenance, vacancy and management.

With so few rentals on the market, a void period could be long, which compounds the weak yield.

Selling is generally the stronger option here, though your own equity and tax position matter.

What this means if you are listing now

Ask for a valuation as a range with named comparables, because a market this thin cannot honestly support a single figure.

Expect to achieve somewhere near 94.8% of a correctly set original asking price.

Plan for roughly 22 days to an accepted offer if priced correctly, the fastest in the county.

Resolve any condition issue a government-insured appraisal would flag, because that is what breaks sales here.

Market beyond the town name, because few buyers search it and the listing has to describe the location in terms buyers use.

Ask us for a valuation and you will see the specific sales it rests on and where the evidence thins.

What is the median home price in Belle Glade?
Homes that closed over the trailing twelve months medianed $338,500, while active residential listings ask a median $335,000. Measured 25 September 2026 across just 42 sales and 23 active residential listings, so treat both as indicative.
How long does it take to sell in Belle Glade?
Sold listings averaged 22 days from listing to accepted offer, the fastest figure of any city in this set by a clear margin. Active listings are averaging 65. A correctly priced Belle Glade home does not wait long.
How reliable are these numbers?
Indicative rather than precise. With 42 residential sales over twelve months this is the thinnest market measured here, so automated valuations perform poorly and anyone quoting a precise figure is guessing. Ask for a range with named comparables.
Will I get my asking price?
Often close to it. Homes closed at a median 94.8% of their original asking price and only 79% closed below what they first asked, among the lowest proportions in this set. On a $338,500 sale that gap is about $18,000.
Will I have association costs?
Almost certainly not. Only 9% of active listings here are in an association, the lowest share in this set, and the median fee across those is $159. Not one listing is in a three-storey building, so the milestone inspection question does not apply.
How old is the housing?
The oldest in this set. 87% of active listings predate 1980 and the median year built is 1965. That makes age-related inspection findings near certain, and the insurability ones decide whether financed buyers can complete at all.
How much am I really competing with?
Less than the listing count suggests. Of 48 active listings only 19 are single-family homes: 14 are land, 11 commercial and 4 multi-family. That composition reflects the town's agricultural economy and overstates a house seller's competition.
What repairs might a lender require?
Peeling paint, damaged flooring or a compromised roof can each trigger a repair requirement before a government-insured loan will close. Resolving those before listing is what separates the 22-day outcome from a sale that fails at appraisal.
Should I rent my home out instead of selling?
The evidence does not favour it. Only 10 rentals are active at a $950 median, roughly 3.4% of the $338,500 median sale price annually before costs, the weakest ratio measured, and with so few rentals a void period could be long.
Where do these numbers come from?
The MLS record for Belle Glade, measured 25 September 2026: trailing twelve months for sold figures, a point-in-time snapshot for active ones. The sample is small, which is stated rather than hidden.
