How many Palm Beach County sellers cut prices?

Price cuts ran at about 118 a day in the latest window, down from about 140 a day from September 29 to October 11, when the feed logged 1,824. Contracts slowed by less, to about 52 a day from 58 a day. So the number of cuts fell, but cuts still outnumbered new contracts by more than 2 to 1 in both windows.

The size of the typical cut grew slightly. The median cut was 3.75 percent, against 3.57 percent two weeks earlier. In the latest window, 188 cuts reached 10 percent or more, against 165 in the earlier window. Seventy-seven listings were cut twice or more within the two weeks. Going the other way, 109 listings raised their asking price.

The 1,654 cuts equal about 13.5 percent of the roughly 12,249 active listings on our live map on October 26.

Delray Beach and West Palm Beach had about 2.4 to 2.5 cuts per contract. Boca Raton, Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter ran closer to 2 to 1. Recent prices for each place are on the Boca Raton, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter and Wellington market pages.

How did Palm Beach County homes sell in September?

The completed-month figures show a market where prices held while sales slowed. Our September BeachesMLS Market Pulse, with closings through October 24, counted 1,026 single-family sales in Palm Beach County at a median of $712,500, up 8.0 percent from a year earlier, with a median of 34 days on market. Across the four BeachesMLS counties, single-family contracts in September were down 14.8 percent from a year earlier.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers?

For buyers, a steady stream of cuts means asking prices are moving, most of all on condos and on listings under $300,000. More than 13 percent of active listings were cut in two weeks, and 110 homes returned to the market after a contract fell through.

For sellers, competition on price is the main factor. A listing priced today sits among about 17 active listings for every contract written in the two weeks to October 25. Carrying costs matter in that math: our West Palm Beach home insurance cost, Boca Raton home insurance cost and Palm Beach County HOA fees by community pages cover them, and condo costs are on the Palm Beach County condo communities and Florida condo special assessments pages.

Limitations

Counts come from the change log of our live BeachesMLS feed, which records a change when our refresh sees it. A listing is counted once per category per window, so a listing cut twice counts as one cut; medians use its first cut in the window. Contracts are active listings moving to pending or active under contract. Back on market means a move from pending or under contract to active. Active counts come from our live map and use the county's map boundary, so they are approximate. The feed covers Palm Beach County listings entered in BeachesMLS, which may not include every listing. New listing counts are not used because our feed added listings in bulk during the window. The earlier window is 13 days, so comparisons use daily rates. Two weeks is a short period, and figures may be revised as the MLS updates records. This article is general information, not advice about any specific property or transaction.
