If you're weighing whether to list in Delray Beach this fall, the numbers lean in sellers' favor — but pricing right still matters more than ever.
What's working for sellers right now
Inventory is down 30% from a year ago, months of supply sit at 3.4, and homes are moving faster — median days to contract dropped from 56 to 49. Sellers are also getting closer to their asking price, 93.7% of original list on average, up from 91.2% a year ago.
Why pricing still matters in a tight market
A tighter market rewards accurate pricing with a fast sale close to ask; it punishes overpricing just as quickly, because buyers who are paying attention know what similar homes are actually closing for. The days of "list high and negotiate down" carry more risk now than they did a year or two ago.
What to do before you list
Get a realistic value based on recent closed sales, not just what neighbors are asking, and time the listing to when buyer activity is highest for your specific price point.
