Palm Beach County Market Report – December 2025

December Market Report – Palm Beach County

As we review November’s closed sales data (reported in December), it’s important to remember that year-over-year comparisons across Florida are somewhat distorted. Last year’s hurricane season suppressed activity in October across several parts of the state — which artificially inflated November numbers in many markets.

Palm Beach County, however, did not experience the same suppression, so our local data tells a clearer — and more accurate — story.

Condos & Townhomes: Signs of Life After a Challenging Few Years

For the past few years, condos — especially older buildings — have faced headwinds from new state statutes, insurance pressures, and rising association costs. Many buyers stepped back, uncertain about future expenses.

That’s why it’s encouraging to finally see movement returning to this segment. Activity is picking up, and confidence is slowly rebuilding.

Even so, Palm Beach County remains buyer-leaning across most price ranges:

  • $400k–$600k: Buyer’s market
  • $600k–$999k: Buyer’s market
  • $1M+ : ~18.7 months of inventory — a strong buyer’s market
  • Buyers have options. Sellers can succeed — but pricing discipline matters.

Single-Family Homes: Mixed Pricing Signals, Slower Inventory Growth

The single-family market shows a more nuanced picture:

  • Median sales price is up
  • Average sales price is down

This aligns with what we’re seeing.   Luxury closed sales have eased, and inventory in the $1M+ range rose from 8.5 to 12.2 months, pulling the average down while the broader market remains steady.

One encouraging note:

Inventory growth is slowing — which helps stabilize the market.  Another interesting stat:   Only 41% of single-family sales were cash, despite higher interest rates. It’s lower than many expect, yet Florida’s lead economist does not anticipate meaningful downward pricing shifts in the near term.

What We’re Seeing on the Ground (Amy & Noreen Team)

The market is very price-sensitive — but demand is absolutely there.

When a home is:

✔️ priced realistically
✔️ staged and well-presented
✔️ marketed intentionally
✔️ easy to show

…it moves.

We are officially in “season.” Traffic is heavier, restaurants are busy, and snowbirds are here. We’re excited to bring new listings to market after the New Year — knowing buyers are actively looking and ready.

Guidance for Sellers

If you’re thinking about selling — whether soon or sometime in 2026 — this is a market where education and strategy matter. Yes, buyers have choices in some segments. But the right approach still produces strong results.

Start With a Strategy Session

Let’s review what’s happening specifically in your neighborhood — not just headlines. We’ll look at:

  • Actual closed sales (not just list prices)
  • Competing listings
  • Time on market trends
  • Where negotiations are happening — and why

This helps avoid overpricing and “chasing” the market.

Price With Purpose

Overpricing up front often leads to more days on market and ultimately lower offers. We focus on:

  • Strategic, data-driven pricing
  • Positioning your home against competition
  • Creating urgency — not reductions

Presentation Matters

Buyers form opinions in seconds. Light staging, decluttering, paint touch-ups and curb appeal changes can significantly increase perceived value. We’ll guide you — and help coordinate.

Marketing That Reaches the Right Buyers

It’s not enough to be listed — your home must be launched.

We reach buyers where they actually are through a blend of digital and traditional marketing:

  • Targeted online exposure and social media
  • High-quality photography and video
  • Story-driven property descriptions
  • Print publications that lifestyle and luxury buyers still read
  • Direct mail postcards to neighbors and move-up buyers
  • Ongoing newsletters to our database and snowbird network

Not everyone communicates in digital only — so we invest to reach all audiences.

Make It Easy to Show

More access → more opportunities → better offers. Flexibility matters.

Stay Educated Throughout the Process

We keep you updated on:

  • New competing listings
  • Feedback trends
  • Showing activity
  • Any strategic adjustments needed

You always understand what’s happening — and why.

A Final Thought

This remains a market where context truly matters. Different price points — and different property types — are behaving differently, and trends can shift quickly as we move deeper into season. Staying informed about what’s happening in your segment of the market is the best way to make confident decisions, whether you plan to sell now, later, or not at all.

If you ever want a clearer picture of how these numbers relate to your neighborhood or property type, we are always happy to walk through the data and share perspective.

Palm Beach County Market Report – November 2025

November Market Report – Palm Beach County

(Reflecting October 2025 Results)

We are officially in season—and you can feel it everywhere. Traffic has picked up, restaurants are busier, and that increase in energy is translating directly into our real estate market. Showings are rising, offers are coming in, and buyers are re-engaging after a quieter late summer.

Market Activity: Momentum Is Building

October brought meaningful signs of movement across Palm Beach County:

  • Pending sales are up, a strong indicator of buyer motivation.
  • Closings continue to happen steadily, showing that well-positioned homes are selling.
  • New listings are coming onto the market, but…
  • Active inventory is only up slightly because properties are moving when priced correctly.

Buyers are selective. They’re willing to act—but they expect a home to be priced in alignment with current market conditions and the value offered.

Financing & Buyer Behavior

Even though mortgage rates dipped slightly, cash sales increased, underscoring how many buyers—especially in the move-up and luxury segments—are choosing to buy without financing. This continues to keep our market stable despite rate fluctuations.

Market Breakdown by Price Point

While activity has picked up, the general market structure has not shifted significantly from last month:

  • $400K–$599K: Slight seller’s market. Homes move when priced appropriately, and demand remains steady.
  • $600K–$999K: Balanced market. Neither buyers nor sellers have a clear upper hand.
  • $1,000,000+: Still a buyer’s market, but the gap is narrowing.
    Palm Beach County’s luxury sector is now at 8.5 months of inventory, trending toward balanced conditions.

This shift is meaningful—luxury buyers have options, but they no longer hold all the leverage.

Looking Ahead

The next 60 days will be telling. With season officially underway, we expect increased showing activity, more buyer tours from out-of-state visitors, and continued momentum in pending sales.
At the same time, the holidays naturally create a pause for some families—so December will be an interesting blend of peak seasonal demand and holiday slowdowns.

We look forward to watching these trends play out and sharing how season—and the start of winter tourism—continues to shape our market.

Florida & Palm Beach County Market Update – October 2025

WOW — what a month!

Florida real estate came alive, marking only the third month in 2025 where closed sales increased statewide. Buyers are clearly responding to lower mortgage rates and growing confidence that further rate cuts may be coming.

Condo sales were a standout — up year-over-year for the first time all year — signaling renewed momentum across the state.

New pending sales also climbed, showing that activity is not just present closings but future contracts as well. Inventory dipped slightly, not because new listings surged, but because pending contracts absorbed available homes. In short: the market is moving again.

Palm Beach County Snapshot

Palm Beach County mirrored the statewide uptick, with closed sales up significantly year-over-year and cash transactions up more than 30%.

While the median sales price held steady, the average price increased, indicating that more higher-end homes moved in September.

Overall, everything was UP — activity, showings, offers, and energy. We’re fully in season, and Palm Beach County is buzzing.

Months of Inventory by Price Point

Price Range Inventory + New Listings Closed Sales Months of Inventory Market Type
$400K–$599K 1,584 365 4.3 Balanced
$600K–$999K 1,928 322 6.0 Balanced
$1M+ 2,476 281 8.8 Slight Buyer’s Market

(Inventory + new listings ÷ closed sales)

This shows a healthy, balanced market in most segments. The $1M+ category continues to lean slightly toward buyers, but even that market is showing more movement than earlier in the year.

The Bottom Line

The market is busy — listings, showings, and offers are all up. Inventory levels remain higher than in the frenzied years of 2021–2023, but that’s a good thing: it’s giving buyers choices and sellers confidence.

Palm Beach County is entering a more sustainable, balanced phase — one where well-prepared homes are selling, and well-informed buyers are finally finding opportunities again.

Palm Beach County Market Report – September 2025

Palm Beach County Market Report – September 2025

The story of the Palm Beach County market this month begins, where many of our clients live and invest — in the luxury segment. For properties priced above $1,000,000, we remain in a buyer’s market, but the numbers are moving in the right direction. In July, luxury inventory represented 15 months of supply. By August, that number dropped to 9.2 months. While still tilted in favor of buyers, this shift signals progress and increasing activity in a category that has been slower to adjust.

By contrast, the $300,000 to $999,000 range has returned to a more balanced market. Inventory has eased, giving sellers in this range a more level playing field, but buyers still maintain options. Pending sales increased in August across both single-family homes and condominiums, a likely reaction to the recent dip in interest rates.

The graph below tells the bigger story. Inventory across Palm Beach County remains elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels.  A fellow agent shared this graph with me, and it really is a great way to visualize how much our inventory has grown and in particular throughout 2025.  Buyers today are not facing the frantic, low-inventory environment of recent years. Instead, they have choices, which makes pricing strategy critical.

Another important shift we are tracking is the decline in cash sales. With fewer all-cash buyers, appraisals are once again playing a pivotal role. Sellers must be aware: price matters. In this environment, “testing the market” at an inflated number is no longer effective. Buyers will simply move on to the next home, and overpriced listings risk being overlooked. Instead, success comes from going live at the right price, paired with staging, marketing, and an agent who understands how to fire on all cylinders in today’s conditions.

As activity picks up heading into season, sellers should be reminded that while inventory has come down, it is still significantly higher than before the pandemic. Positioning your home correctly from day one is the key to standing out in a crowded marketplace.

This is also a good opportunity to address our colleagues in the industry. Responsiveness matters. Sellers and buyers rely on us to coordinate showings, provide feedback, and deliver a seamless experience. If you are a single agent, have backup solutions to accommodate showings. If you are new to the business, welcome — but please ask for help when writing a contract rather than “faking it until you make it.” Our shared professionalism reflects on all of us, and the consumer experience depends on our collaboration.

The Palm Beach County market is building momentum as we approach season. Sellers who understand the impact of higher inventory, price strategically, and align with an experienced agent will be well positioned to take advantage of this moment.

Palm Beach County Market Report – August 2025

Momentum You Can Feel

We don’t always need to look at the numbers to know when the market shifts — you can feel it. The phones are ringing again, open houses are busy, and buyers are out shopping. That said, this isn’t an “easy” market. Buyers are highly price-sensitive, demanding more than ever, and sellers are having to work harder to stand out.

The Bigger Picture – Florida & Palm Beach County

 Statewide, July’s numbers (reported in August) showed sales down across much of Florida. The first quarter of 2025 started strong — especially January and February — but the second quarter fell off sharply, bringing the year back into balance.

Here in Palm Beach County, the story is nuanced:

  • Cash Sales Are Down: More buyers are financing, which means appraisals and insurance approvals matter. The “4-point inspection” — HVAC, plumbing, electric, and roof — is now front and center, especially since older roofs limit the buyer pool without cash buyers dominating.
  • Inventory Is Elevated: Supply levels remain higher than pre-pandemic, giving buyers choices and putting pressure on sellers.
  • Prices & Timing: Both average and median sales prices are down. Time to contract and time to close are up significantly.

A Silver Lining

The good news: in Palm Beach County, inventory came down in every price point we work in.

  • Homes priced up to $1,000,000 are edging toward a balanced market (not there yet but headed in the right direction)
  • Luxury real estate remains a buyer’s market — but even here, inventory declined compared to July.

What This Means for Sellers

  • Expect a longer sales cycle and longer listing agreements.
  • Competition is fierce — pricing and presentation are everything.
  • Old roofs and deferred maintenance are no longer just cosmetic issues; they affect financing and limit the buyer pool.

Our Approach

We know this market requires a “game on” strategy. As a team, we’re:

  • Hosting open houses every weekend.
  • Making properties available nights, weekends — whenever buyers want to see them.
  • Investing heavily in marketing: professional videos, boosted ads targeted out-of-state, mailings, print media and strategic exposure to maximize visibility.

The market has picked up, but success isn’t automatic. It requires persistence, creativity, and precision in pricing — and that’s where the right partnership makes all the difference.

Curious about what this market means for you? Whether you’re considering selling now or just wondering about the current value of your home, give us a call. We’re here to provide clarity, strategy, and results.

LANG REALTY & LANG MANAGEMENT DELIVER BIG IMPACT FOR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT PALM BEACH COUNTY

BOCA RATON, FL, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — Lang Realty, together with Lang Management, once again proved that real estate is about more than houses—it’s about community. Through their annual School Supply Drive and participation in the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County’s Red Apple Supplies Teacher Shopping Day, the companies helped ensure thousands of students across the district are prepared for a successful school year.

Throughout the summer, Lang offices throughout Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast collected more than 1,000 new school supplies—ranging from backpacks and notebooks to crayons and glue sticks—for the Education Foundation’s Red Apple Supplies program. These donations directly benefit teachers and students in Title I schools, where resources are often limited.

On Saturday, August 16, Lang team members joined the Education Foundation at Red Apple Supplies in Lake Worth Beach, assisting up to 60 teachers as they “shopped” for classroom essentials. Agents and staff members helped educators navigate the aisles and select much-needed items at no cost, giving teachers the tools to create vibrant and well-equipped classrooms.

“The spirit of community service runs deep at Lang,” said Scott Agran, President of Lang Realty. “Whether through hands-on volunteering or contributions that fuel initiatives like Red Apple Supplies, our agents and staff are committed to ensuring every child starts the school year with confidence.”

“Education is the foundation of every strong community, and we are proud to support the teachers and families who make a difference every day,” added Kevin Carroll, President & CEO of Lang Management. “By providing resources and encouragement, we are helping to create brighter futures for students across Palm Beach County.”

The Education Foundation of Palm Beach County has distributed more than $8 million in free supplies to Title I schools since Red Apple Supplies opened in 2016. Lang’s continued support underscores its long-standing commitment to education and the local community.
