Q1 2026: Inventory Up, Prices Still Rising
Delray Beach entered 2026 with more available inventory than any quarter since 2019 — 3,324 active listings. Yet prices continued to rise, posting 8.3% year-over-year gain to a median of $927,000. Sustained demand from out-of-state buyers is offsetting the inventory increase.
The luxury segment ($1.5M+) showed the most notable shift: days on market increased from 61 to 98 days in the past 12 months, and list-to-sale ratios dropped from 98.1% to 95.4%. This is normalization — not a correction. Sellers who priced aggressively are finding resistance; sellers who price to market are still closing.
Bottom line for buyers: This is the best buying environment since 2019. More choices, less panic, sellers willing to negotiate. If you’ve been waiting, Q1–Q2 2026 may be your window.
