What Do the Palm Springs Market Numbers Say Right Now?

Palm Springs is still moving, but buyers are more selective than they were in peak frenzy years.

Redfin reports a $650,000 median sale price in February 2026, down 4.4% year over year, with homes taking a median of 94 days to sell and 139 homes sold for the month.

The negotiation signals back that up. Redfin shows a 97.2% sale-to-list price, 8.6% of homes selling above list, and 26.2% of homes with price drops in February 2026. That means sellers still need strong positioning and presentation, while buyers have more room to evaluate value, condition, and design quality before acting.
