Market Insights

As we move into the heart of summer, both Palm Beach and Broward Counties are leaning further into buyer’s market territory—but this shift brings opportunity and strategy into sharper focus.


Inventory has surged again, with months of supply rising well above balanced-market conditions. This means more options for buyers, and tougher competition for sellers—a trend that’s sticking, not spiking.


Key Trends Across Palm Beach and Broward Counties:


📉 Pace Has Slowed Down

Fewer homes are closing and buyers aren’t rushing. With longer days on market and more active listings, buyers are browsing—and negotiating—on their own terms.


💲 Prices Are Slipping…Quietly

We're not seeing a crash—but we are seeing softness, especially in the condo market. Sellers who price with yesterday’s market in mind are sitting. Those who adapt are moving.


📦 Inventory Is Stacking Up

Between both counties, active listings jumped 20–35%+ year-over-year. That kind of inventory build creates leverage—but only if you know how to use it.

Thinking about selling your home?

The value of something is not measured by the seller—it's driven by market demand.
