Growing but selective
Median single-family prices in Boca Raton generally sit in the mid $700,000s, though the range is wide. West Boca offers family neighborhoods from the $500,000s, central and east Boca commonly trade from $900,000, and the coastal and country-club estate segments extend well past $5 million.
Condominiums are a substantial share of the market, from affordable west Boca associations to oceanfront buildings along A1A. Days on market average roughly eight to nine weeks, with luxury and condominium listings typically requiring longer exposure.
Appreciation has moderated into the low single digits, and inventory has grown from the historic lows of recent years. Even so, turnkey homes in strong school zones and established country-club communities continue to attract competitive interest.
