The typical Wellington home is valued at about 1.4 times the county figure. The Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey five-year estimates put the median value of owner-occupied homes in Wellington at $557,100. That survey asks owners what they think their home is worth, covers 2019 to 2023 and counts only owner-occupied homes, so it does not match Zillow’s figure.
How to read these figures
The Zillow Home Value Index estimates the value of a typical home in the middle third of the market, single-family homes and condos together, smoothed and adjusted for the season. It covers all homes, not just those that sold, so it moves slowly. It is the best single number for “what is a typical Wellington home worth.”
Median sale price is the middle price of homes that actually sold that month, and it jumps around. Over the 12 months to August 2026, Zillow’s monthly figure for Wellington ran from $550,000 in November 2025 to $705,000 in May 2026, and was $585,000 in August. Read the trend over several months, not one.
Days to pending counts the days from listing to an accepted offer. The Wellington figure was 70 days in September 2025, fell as low as 27 days in March 2026 and was 34 days in September 2026.
The FHFA House Price Index tracks repeat sales of the same homes with mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. FHFA does not publish an index for Wellington alone; the closest is the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Delray Beach metropolitan division, which is Palm Beach County. Its index rose 3.65% in the year to the second quarter of 2026. The index measures change, not a price.
