What North Palm Beach homes actually close at
86.8% of North Palm Beach single-family sales and 91.8% of condo and townhome sales closed below their original asking price, January 1 - October 18, 2026. The median house finished at 93% of where it started and the median condo at 90.4%.
The first asking price is a decision, not a fact, and most of them are revised downward by the market. We measure against that first number on purpose: a sale-to-list ratio built on the final asking price, after one or more cuts, hides the cost of starting high. Sellers who do not list where the home will sell end up making repeated price adjustments before a buyer signs - and it compounds, because a home that sits collects fewer showings at every subsequent price. Median closing prices over the same period: $1,785,000 for single-family homes and $420,000 for condos and townhomes.
Key takeaways
- The median single-family sale closed at 93% of its original ask and the median condo or townhome at 90.4%, measured against the first price the home was offered at rather than the last one.

Should I price high and negotiate down?
The data argues against it. Homes that start above the market spend longer on it - 25.3% of house sales and 51.6% of condo sales here took over 90 days - and then close below the original number anyway. The county series on our market report shows the same pattern month by month: sellers who had to cut before a contract waited months longer than sellers who priced where the home would sell. Gia Freer prices against what buyers have actually paid nearby, and she reviews every figure herself.
