MARKET OVERVIEW
Palm Beach County's waterfront market showed modest absorption in May, with 19 closed sales against 200 active listings, yielding a 10.5-month supply that suggests inventory remains elevated relative to transaction velocity. The median sold price of $1.4 million exceeded the active list median of $1.3 million by 7.7 percent, while the 89.1 percent list-to-sale ratio and 62-day average time on market indicate selective buyer engagement at current price levels. The data reflects a market weighted toward sellers' concessions rather than price appreciation, with properties requiring roughly two months to clear and significant inventory depth limiting pricing power.
