PALM BEACH, Fla., October 18, 2026 - 22.2% of the 72 single-family homes listed for sale in Palm Beach (16 listings) have a current asking price below their original list price, according to PBP Real Estate's analysis of BeachesMLS listing data as of October 18, 2026. Among those 16 reduced listings, the median reduction is 9.6% (about $2.35M). Among the city's 155 condominium listings, 27.7% are asking below their original price, by a median 7.6%.

NUT GRAF
For active Palm Beach houses, the median recorded CumulativeDaysOnMarket value is 166 days and the median recorded DaysOnMarket value is 136 days, each calculated from non-missing values in that field (72 and 72 listings). 5.6% of all active houses have both fields recorded and a cumulative value greater than their DaysOnMarket value; this comparison does not establish a relisting event. 10 Palm Beach houses are under contract (Pending or Active Under Contract), 3 of them with a recorded asking price below original; fewer than 30, so no percentage is reported. These asking-price fields do not disclose the agreed contract price. Across Palm Beach County the shares asking below original are 41.2% for houses and 43.4% for condominiums; Palm Beach houses are 19.0 points below the county share.

METHODOLOGY
Method, in plain English. What we counted: active and under-contract residential listings whose MLS City field is Palm Beach, permitted for internet display in PBP Real Estate's BeachesMLS data feed, in one snapshot pulled 2026-10-18 10:02:49 UTC (data as of October 18, 2026). The kit reports counts, medians, shares and comparisons calculated from recorded MLS fields; it does not estimate any property's value. Asking below original: a listing's current ListPrice is lower than its OriginalListPrice in that snapshot. This is a comparison of two recorded prices at this snapshot, not a price history; listings not below original may be unchanged, raised or missing a price (55 unchanged, 1 above original, 0 without both prices among houses). The median reduction is the middle value among reduced listings only, in percent and in dollars separately; it is reported when at least 10 listings are reduced. Days on market: DaysOnMarket and CumulativeDaysOnMarket are reported as recorded in the MLS snapshot, each median over the listings with a value in that field; the over-90-day share and the distribution chart use listings with a recorded CumulativeDaysOnMarket value. These fields are not an independently reconstructed property history, do not verify whether or how often a property was relisted, and do not establish how any portal displays days on market. Price bands use the CURRENT asking price; shares within a band are percentages of that band's listings; bands with 10 to 29 listings are marked small and bands under 10 show a count only; a tie is declared at the reported precision. Segments follow the recorded tax legal description and the shared MLS classification rule: a listing whose legal description records a condominium is a condominium whatever its MLS subtype (townhouse, villa or single-family forms included); Condominium or Stock Cooperative subtypes stay in the condominium segment when the legal description is silent or records a parent parcel, including new-build units; Townhouse and Villa listings not classified as condominiums are reported in the HOA Fee Index and are outside both segments here; houses are the remaining SingleFamilyResidence listings. House and condominium statistics are never combined. These are analytical classifications of recorded fields, not a determination of any property's legal regime. Under contract means Pending or Active Under Contract; under-contract percentages need at least 30 such listings, otherwise counts only. Publication floor: 30 active listings in a segment; 30 to 39 is marked small. Sample sizes: 72 houses, 155 condominiums, 10 houses under contract. Geography is the MLS City field, not a verified municipal boundary. County comparisons use listings whose MLS record is in Palm Beach County. Seller Blink Rate™ is PBP Real Estate's name for the share of active listings asking below their original list price; it describes recorded asking prices, not seller intent or market health. Conditions read: How the read works: the peer baseline is the median of published city shares in the same current median-asking-price tier, houses and condominiums separately. The lower-share label requires a below-original share at least 3 points under baseline and at least 65% of under-contract listings (minimum 10) not recorded as below original. That complement may include unchanged, raised or missing-price records; it is not a history measure. The higher-share label requires 3 or more points above baseline; other results are between the rule's thresholds. With fewer than four peer cities, the county is the baseline and can include the city. Samples of 30–39 active listings require caution. Snapshot comparison only, not speed, causality or a forecast.
