Wellington home values rose by $3,829 in September, the biggest one-month gain since July 2023. The typical home in the village was worth $661,404, up 0.6% from August and 2.8% from September 2025.
The figures come from the Zillow Home Value Index, which Zillow Research published Oct. 16. The index covers single-family homes and condos together and tracks the middle third of homes by value. It is a smoothed, seasonally adjusted estimate, not a sale price.
It was the 11th straight monthly rise. Values bottomed out at $642,712 in October 2025, after a 17-month slide, and have climbed $18,692 since. The typical home is still about $28,700, or 4.2%, below the peak of $690,143 in May 2024.
What it means for you
- Owners: the typical home gained $17,851 in a year, and the climb has sped up since July.
- Sellers: homes are going under contract faster. Zillow’s median time from listing to an accepted offer was 34 days in September, against 70 days a year earlier.
- Buyers: Wellington is gaining faster than any of its neighbors, and its typical value is about $185,700 above the Palm Beach County figure.
- Renters: the typical asking rent rose 5.5% in a year, twice as fast as home values.
- Property taxes: your tax value comes from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser, not Zillow, and a homestead exemption caps the yearly rise in assessed value. See our property tax guide.
