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.
