🚨 MARKET UPDATE 🚨
🌦️ April market stats are in for Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie Counties! 🌴🏡
Despite interest rate conversations continuing, the South Florida market is still holding steady — and honestly, each county is telling a slightly different story right now. 👀
📍Palm Beach County continues showing strong demand with:
• Single family median prices UP 0.8%
• Condo/townhome prices UP 6.3%
• Inventory DOWN over 18%
• Homes averaging around 37 days to contract for single family homes
📍Martin County is still standing out:
• Single family home sales UP 35.3% 🤯
• Median home prices UP 8.3%
• Inventory DOWN 25%
• Condo prices dipped slightly, creating opportunity for buyers 👏
📍St. Lucie County is becoming one of the more buyer-friendly markets in the area:
• Median single family prices DOWN 1.8%
• Condo prices DOWN 6.5%
• Homes taking a bit longer to sell
• More room for negotiation than we’ve seen in recent years 👏
Now here’s the important part ⬇️
We are technically STILL in a seller’s market because inventory remains below 6 months in most single family categories… BUT the frenzy has cooled. Buyers finally have a little breathing room, sellers still have equity, and the market is starting to feel more balanced instead of chaotic.
Also — sellers are NOT getting 100% of asking price on average. Most homes are closing around 92–95% of original list price depending on the county and property type. Translation? Strategy matters more than ever right now. 💡
No signs of a market crash… just a shifting market that requires smarter pricing, stronger negotiation, and understanding your local area because Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie are all moving differently. 🏡
Thinking about buying, selling, or just curious what your home may be worth?
Let’s create a game plan that makes sense for YOU. 📲
