​March closed with signs of a neutral market in Palm Beach Gardens, but beneath the surface are subtle shifts worth watching—especially if you're thinking of buying, selling, or investing.

Here’s a look at what’s really happening, and what it means for you.

Key Takeaways from March 2025:

• ​Inventory surged 36.9% year-over-year (868 active listings)
• Sales held steady (153 homes sold, down just 0.6% from last year)
• Price per square foot dropped to $478 (down 12.5% from last month)
• Average Days on Market increased to 81 (up 15.7% from last year)
• Sellers received 86% of original asking price—meaning negotiations are back.

Pricing Pressure Is Real

​The median sale price dropped to $725,000 and the average sale price declined to $1.05M. With more homes on the market, buyers are taking their time—and they’re negotiating harder.
If you're selling this spring or summer, strategic pricing and strong presentation are non-negotiable.

What This Means for Sellers:

• ​You have more competition—stage smart and price sharp
  
• Focus on first impressions and digital marketing
  
• Be open to price adjustments based on feedback
  

What This Means for Buyers:

• ​You now have more choices and better negotiating power​
  
• Interest rates may still affect affordability—work with a lender early
• ​Be ready to act when the right home appears, especially in top-tier neighborhoods
  

Local Perspective from Leah Ball:

​Every neighborhood is behaving a little differently right now. Acreage homes, country club communities, and new construction like Alba and Avondale at Avenir are drawing serious interest—while other segments are seeing longer timelines.
