01-20-26 Palm Beach County Slight Sellers Market 31 Altos Research Michael Lewis Graph

Slight Seller's Market

This week the median list price for Palm Beach Gardens, FL is $1,399,944 with the market action index hovering around 31. This is less than last month’s market action index of 32. Inventory has decreased to 348.

Market conditions have been consistently cooling in the past several weeks. Because we’re still in the Seller’s zone, prices have not yet begun to drop. It may take a few more weeks of slack demand for prices to reflect and begin to fall. Expect prices to fall if the index persistently falls to the Buyer’s zone.
