Condos in oceanfront areas appear to be right in the middle of the pack when it comes to the ongoing market boom,” said Todd Teta, chief product officer at ATTOM. “Broadly speaking, they are worth close to what condos around the nation are worth and are gaining value at around the same pace as all homes in the U.S. We will keep an eye on this trend to see if it changes following the Florida incident.”

In the second quarter, Florida had the highest number of oceanfront condo sales, followed by California, Hawaii, South Carolina, and Massachusetts, according to the report. The five counties with the highest number of second-quarter transactions in condo sales were: Palm Beach County (West Palm Beach), Fla.; Miami-Dade County, Fla.; Los Angeles County, Calif.; Broward County, Fla.; and San Diego County, Calif.

The largest increase annually in median condo home prices in the second quarter were in Pasco County, Fla. (median up 245%); Galveston County, Texas (up 102%); Indian River County (Vero Beach), Fla. (up 68%); St. Lucie County (Port St. Lucie), Fla. (up 66%); and St. Johns County (St. Augustine), Fla. (up 61%).
