The market is transitioning from pandemic-era extremes toward more balanced conditions, with inventory up about 30% across Palm Beach County, changing dynamics for both buyers and sellers.
Different areas like Delray Beach, Jupiter, and West Palm Beach have their own buyer demographics and price movements, so market conditions vary significantly by location.
Sellers who remember high prices from 2021-2022 are struggling to adjust to current pricing, with some choosing not to sell rather than accept what feels like leaving money on the table.
Sellers need proper pricing, professional marketing, and realistic timeline expectations, as immediate sales from 2021-2022 aren't happening anymore and homes are taking longer to sell.
Current conditions represent a return to normal market appreciation of 3-6% annually, not a crisis, and if buyers plan to stay 5-7 years, can afford payments, and find a good location, conditions actually favor them.
Buyers now have negotiating power over repairs and closing-cost credits that didn't exist during the pandemic-era market extremes.
