Palm Beach County Inventory Rises as Sales and Prices Shift
September 2025 Market Update Palm Beach County
Market Outlook for Palm Beach County Home Sales
In September 2025, the Palm Beach County home sales market showed a 24.8% increase in closed transactions compared to the same month in 2024. With 1,163 homes sold versus 932 last year, momentum is clearly shifting—but not without important caveats.
Inventory Growth Offers Buyers More Leverage
During the same period, active listings climbed 2.8% to 5,576 homes, pushing the months’ supply of inventory to 5.0. This expansion gives buyers more time, more options, and ultimately greater negotiating power than in recent tighter-markets.
At the same time, the median sale price held steady at $615,000, indicating stability even amid increased supply.
Why the Market Shift Matters
-
More listings = more choice. Buyers no longer feel rushed, and those looking for the right fit can take advantage of expanded inventory.
-
Greater leverage for buyers. With more homes on the market and steady pricing, smart buyers can negotiate from a stronger position.
-
Stability in pricing. The flat median price suggests the market is not overheating, making it potentially safer for both buyers and sellers.
How First-Time Buyers Can Take Advantage
For first-time homebuyers, now is a window of opportunity. One under-used strategy: assumable loans. These allow qualified buyers to take over a seller’s mortgage — including the existing interest rate — which can be significantly lower than current levels.
While not all listings qualify, working with a local Realtor® who understands how to spot and negotiate these deals can dramatically boost affordability.
Partnering With an Expert — Why It’s Critical
The team at Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors® has partnered with RetroRate, a cutting-edge intelligence platform that helps identify properties with assumable loans. This allows agents and buyers to uncover hidden opportunities and potentially save thousands of dollars in interest and monthly payments.
