Palm Beach price cuts: 22.2% of active houses are recorded below original asking; condos 27.7%

As of October 18, 2026, 16 of 72 active single-family homes in Palm Beach (22.2%) and 43 of 155 condominiums (27.7%) have a recorded asking price below the original list price.

Conditions todayHouses: Lower below-original share than peers (22.2% recorded below original versus 32.8% median across 9 peer cities; 70% of 10 under contract not recorded below original)Condominiums: Lower below-original share than peers (27.7% recorded below original versus 36.6% median across 13 peer cities; 66.7% of 18 under contract not recorded below original)Houses current asking-price bands: highest below-original share 22.5% in $5M and up. Groups of 30–39 require caution.Peer group, houses (median asking $2M and up: Miami Shores, Southwest Ranches, Lighthouse Point, Coral Gables, North Palm Beach, Miami Beach, Pinecrest, Key Biscayne).Peer group, condominiums (median asking $600K and up: Riviera Beach, Coral Gables, Sunny Isles Beach, Singer Island, Hillsboro Beach, Highland Beach, Surfside, Bay Harbor Islands, Juno Beach, Lake Park, Key Biscayne, Bal Harbour).How the read works: the peer baseline is the median of published city shares in the same current median-asking-price tier, houses and condominiums separately. The lower-share label requires a below-original share at least 3 points under baseline and at least 65% of under-contract listings (minimum 10) not recorded as below original. That complement may include unchanged, raised or missing-price records; it is not a history measure. The higher-share label requires 3 or more points above baseline; other results are between the rule's thresholds. With fewer than four peer cities, the county is the baseline and can include the city. Samples of 30–39 active listings require caution. Snapshot comparison only, not speed, causality or a forecast.

Seven days ending October 18, 2026, counted from PBP's own daily snapshot of BeachesMLS listings permitted for internet display. Of the 16 listings that came on the market in the last seven days, 16 are first-time listings and 0 returned to the market after an earlier listing, because a listing counts on the date it became active. Houses and condominiums are counted separately and never blended. Change is measured against 2026-10-11: 4 came on the market, 0 cut, 69 active.

Not-below-original groups may contain missing prices or increases; they are not unchanged-price histories. Other is the remaining CDOM 61–90 group. These groups do not explain seller or buyer decisions.

Palm Beach houses: median days on market counted by PBP 137 days; median counted cumulative days 166 days. Days on market are counted by PBP from the listing contract date recorded in the MLS to the snapshot date. For listings the MLS records as relisted, the recorded prior time on market is added to give cumulative days. The MLS's own day counters refresh in batches and can trail the calendar by weeks, so they are not used directly. Days spent under an earlier contract that fell through are not subtracted. Each median uses listings with a usable listing contract date. These figures do not independently reconstruct property histories or establish how portals display days on market. 5.6% of all active houses carry recorded prior time on market, so counted CDOM exceeds DOM; that does not establish a relisting event.

The below-original subgroup is too small or lacks a valid median; its median is not published. This does not establish an unchanged price history or the agreed contract price.

What should a Palm Beach seller or buyer do with these numbers?

Sellers

  • Compare the current competition and recent closed sales, rather than treating an unchanged asking price as proof of market value.
  • If a listing has not attracted an offer, review its price, presentation, exposure and showing feedback together.
  • Ask your agent to review available listing records; these aggregate fields do not reconstruct a property's history.
  • Price where the home will sell, not where a cut can take it later: in September 2026 the typical Palm Beach County house sold 5.1% under its original asking price (3.1% under the final), and the 42% of sellers who had cut before a contract waited a median 97 days from listing to contract against 16 for those who never cut. Sale price versus original asking price, Palm Beach County.

Buyers

  • Ask for the listing contract date and available listing records; do not infer a portal's behavior from a day count.
  • Counted days and asking prices do not establish what offer a seller will accept.
  • Compare homes in the same current asking-price band, then review condition, fees and recent closed sales before making an offer.

Media writers

  • Angle: 22.2% of active Palm Beach houses are recorded below original, compared with 41.2% in Palm Beach County. This is a share comparison, not a measure of price-cut speed.

How are days on market counted?

Palm Beach houses: median days on market counted by PBP 137 days; median counted cumulative days 166 days. Days on market are counted by PBP from the listing contract date recorded in the MLS to the snapshot date. For listings the MLS records as relisted, the recorded prior time on market is added to give cumulative days. The MLS's own day counters refresh in batches and can trail the calendar by weeks, so they are not used directly. Days spent under an earlier contract that fell through are not subtracted. Each median uses listings with a usable listing contract date. These figures do not independently reconstruct property histories or establish how portals display days on market.

How do under-contract asking prices compare with original prices?

Of 10 houses listings under contract in Palm Beach, 30% have a recorded asking price below original; 70% are not recorded as below original. The below-original subgroup is too small or lacks a valid median; its median is not published. This does not establish an unchanged price history or the agreed contract price.

The below-original subgroup is too small or lacks a valid median; its median is not published. This does not establish an unchanged price history or the agreed contract price.

Are Palm Beach sellers cutting more or less than similar-priced cities right now?

By PBP's disclosed rule, Palm Beach houses: Lower below-original share than peers; 22.2% recorded below original versus 32.8% median across 9 peer cities; 70% of 10 under contract not recorded below original. Condominiums: Lower below-original share than peers; 27.7% recorded below original versus 36.6% median across 13 peer cities; 66.7% of 18 under contract not recorded below original. Peer group: median asking $2M and up: Miami Shores, Southwest Ranches, Lighthouse Point, Coral Gables, North Palm Beach, Miami Beach, Pinecrest, Key Biscayne.

How the read works: the peer baseline is the median of published city shares in the same current median-asking-price tier, houses and condominiums separately. The lower-share label requires a below-original share at least 3 points under baseline and at least 65% of under-contract listings (minimum 10) not recorded as below original. That complement may include unchanged, raised or missing-price records; it is not a history measure. The higher-share label requires 3 or more points above baseline; other results are between the rule's thresholds. With fewer than four peer cities, the county is the baseline and can include the city. Samples of 30–39 active listings require caution. Snapshot comparison only, not speed, causality or a forecast.

Seller Blink Rate™ is the share of active listings with a recorded asking price below the original list price. The denominator is all active listings in the segment. The complement may include unchanged prices, increases and missing-price records; it does not establish a price history. Days on market are counted by PBP from the listing contract date recorded in the MLS to the snapshot date. For listings the MLS records as relisted, the recorded prior time on market is added to give cumulative days. The MLS's own day counters refresh in batches and can trail the calendar by weeks, so they are not used directly. Days spent under an earlier contract that fell through are not subtracted. Each median uses listings with a usable listing contract date. These figures do not independently reconstruct property histories or establish how portals display days on market. Segments follow recorded tax legal description and MLS subtype. A legal description recording a condominium takes priority, including townhouse, villa or single-family forms. Condominium and Stock Cooperative subtypes remain condominiums when the legal is silent or describes a parent parcel, including new-build units. Remaining Townhouse and Villa listings are grouped in the HOA Fee Index; houses are remaining SingleFamilyResidence listings. These are analytical field classifications, not an independent determination of legal regime. “Palm Beach” groups the MLS City field within the five counties. It can span county lines and is not a municipal-boundary verification. The county comparison is calculated separately and can include this city's listings. Bands with 10–29 listings are qualified; fewer than 10 are not interpreted. A segment requires 30 active listings for percentages; 30–39 is a small sample.
