Listings span $315,000 to $43,850,000, so there is inventory across most budgets. Homes are averaging 117 days on market. These figures update from the MLS as the market moves.
Highland Beach is a quiet barrier-island town squeezed between Boca Raton and Delray Beach, and its narrow footprint between the ocean and the Intracoastal makes for an unusually concentrated market. The inventory divides between oceanfront and Intracoastal condos along A1A and a set of single-family homes, many of them on the Intracoastal side with private docks and direct boating access. The condo buildings range from older low-rise communities to larger oceanfront complexes, and the price spread tracks closely with whether a unit faces the ocean, the Intracoastal, or neither. The single-family side, particularly the deep-water lots, sits at the top of the market and appeals to boaters who want ocean access through the Boca or Boynton inlets. There is almost no developable land left, so single-family activity is mostly renovation and rebuild on existing waterfront lots.
The town has no real commercial core of its own; it is a residential strip, and residents rely on neighboring Delray Beach and Boca Raton for dining, shopping, and downtown life. That is part of the appeal for buyers who want a calm, low-traffic enclave within a few minutes of Atlantic Avenue's restaurants to the north and Boca's amenities to the south. Listings here orient around A1A and the named oceanfront and Intracoastal condo communities, along with the gated single-family pockets on the water. Because the town is so small and so quiet, it draws a buyer who values privacy and a short walk to a relatively uncrowded beach over walkable nightlife, and that distinguishes it from the busier downtowns on either side.
The Highland Beach buyer is frequently a second-home owner, a seasonal resident, or a downsizer who wants the water without the bustle, with boaters specifically targeting the Intracoastal homes for dockage. Practical due diligence is the coastal standard: flood zones cover essentially the whole town, windstorm insurance is a real line item, and aging oceanfront condo buildings carry the now-familiar Florida recertification and special-assessment risk, so reserves and assessment history should be examined before any condo purchase. For single-family buyers on the Intracoastal, the dock, the seawall condition, the lot's water frontage, and the fixed-bridge clearances on the way to the Boca or Boynton inlet matter as much as the house itself, since they determine what size boat the property can actually accommodate. The town's scarcity of inventory and its position between two of the most desirable downtowns in Palm Beach County support steady demand, but buyers should price in insurance and maintenance honestly when comparing it to inland alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How many homes are for sale in Highland Beach?
- There are 126 active listings for sale in Highland Beach right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract. The top of the market here asks many times the entry level, so Highland Beach covers very different kinds of buyer under one name. Ask us to set up a search alert and you will see new Highland Beach listings the day they reach the market.
- What is the median home price in Highland Beach?
- The median list price in Highland Beach is $995,000, or roughly $696 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of Highland Beach homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $315,000 to $43,850,000. The median sits in the lower part of that range, so most Highland Beach homes are nearer the entry level and a few high-end listings pull the top up. We can pull recent comparable sales to price a specific home more precisely.
- What price range do homes in Highland Beach cover?
- Homes for sale in Highland Beach currently range from about $315,000 at the entry level to $43,850,000 at the top of the market. That spread reflects the local mix, from smaller condos and townhomes up to larger single-family and luxury homes, with the median list price around $995,000. That is a wide spread, so Highland Beach genuinely holds homes at very different budgets rather than one price point. Tell us your budget and must-haves and we will send the Highland Beach listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in Highland Beach?
- Homes in Highland Beach are averaging 117 days on market, measured from the day a listing goes live to the day it goes under contract. That is a measured pace, which usually leaves buyers room to negotiate and makes pricing at the outset matter more for sellers. Days on market in Highland Beach also shift with the season and with how a home is priced, so a sharply priced listing can still sell well ahead of the average.

Selling in Highland Beach
Selling a home in Highland Beach
A successful sale in Highland Beach comes down to pricing, presentation, and marketing. List prices in Highland Beach currently center around $995,000, which is a starting reference for where a comparable home might be positioned. Homes that are decluttered, professionally photographed, and priced to recent comparable sales tend to draw the most interest in the first two weeks, when a listing is newest and gets the most views. Florida sellers usually pay the documentary stamp tax on the deed, currently $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in most counties, along with prorated property taxes and, by local custom in many areas, the owner's title insurance policy. We provide a no-obligation home valuation for Highland Beach owners, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.
Buying in Highland Beach
Buying a home in Highland Beach
Buying in Highland Beach follows the same path as the rest of Palm Beach County. Getting a mortgage pre-approval first tells you your real budget and lets you move quickly when the right home comes up. Property taxes factor into the monthly payment: the median annual property tax in Palm Beach County is about $3,600. Florida's homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise from year to year. Budget for homeowners insurance as well. Rates in Florida reflect wind and flood exposure, so gather quotes early and check whether a specific address sits in a FEMA flood zone. Once you are under contract, plan for a home inspection and, if you are financing, a lender appraisal, both of which fall inside the inspection period. Working with an agent who knows Highland Beach means you see new listings here the day they reach the market.
Thinking of Selling?
What is your Highland Beach home worth?
Online estimates miss what makes a home different. Tell us about yours and a licensed listing agent will send you a pricing opinion based on what has actually closed near you in Highland Beach.
Listing agents and seller representation in Highland Beach
Thinking about selling in Highland Beach? The agent you pick shapes two numbers: what your home closes for, and how long it takes. A listing agent, also called a seller's agent, prices the property against what has actually closed nearby. They also prepare and market it, screen the offers that arrive, and negotiate the terms rather than just the price.
Buyers currently hold leverage in Highland Beach, so pricing and presentation carry more weight than they would in a hot market. Homes that are prepared properly and priced against real closed sales still sell; the ones testing an optimistic number are the ones that sit. Homes here are averaging about 117 days from listing to accepted offer, so build that into your moving timeline.
Local knowledge shows up in the details. Which streets hold value, how the association or flood zone affects a given address, and which recent sales genuinely compare to yours.
Pure Equity is a licensed Florida brokerage serving Highland Beach. Onias Derilus is the broker of record, Florida Real Estate Broker license BK3276618. A broker holds a higher license than an agent working under one. In practice that means the person advising you on price is also the one legally responsible for the file. That matters most when a deal gets complicated.

Realtors and real estate agents serving Highland Beach
People search for realtors, real estate agents, and real estate brokers more or less interchangeably. For most purposes the job title matters less than licensing and representation. Every licensed agent in Florida works under a broker. That broker carries final responsibility for the transaction.
What separates real estate professionals in Highland Beach is specificity. Can they answer questions about your street, not just your city? Ask what they have closed nearby and how they arrived at a price. A grounded answer cites particular recent sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. Vague reassurance is the warning sign.

Buyer's agents in Highland Beach
A buyer's agent represents the purchaser rather than the owner. They identify properties that actually fit and research what comparable homes sold for, not what they asked. They also advise on offer strategy. Finally, they manage inspection and financing deadlines through to closing.
Where buyers have room to negotiate, as they do in Highland Beach, the leverage is only worth something if you know where it exists and what to ask for. If you are buying and selling at the same time, which is common for people moving within Palm Beach County, sequencing the two is its own skill: contingencies, timing, and what happens if one closing slips all need planning before either home goes on the market.
What representation costs
Real estate commissions are negotiable. No law, multiple listing service, or association sets them. If an agent tells you there is a standard rate, they are misinforming you. What you pay is agreed between you and the brokerage you hire. Get it in writing before the work begins.
Industry rules changed in 2024. Now a buyer and their agent must put compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes together. Sellers may still offer to contribute toward the buyer's side. However, that is negotiated rather than assumed. It is worth thinking through with your listing agent before you go live.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a listing agent in Highland Beach?
Ask any listing agent you interview two questions. Which homes have they closed near Highland Beach, and how did they arrive at their suggested price? A grounded answer names recent closed sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. With a median around $995,000 here, the gap between realistic pricing guidance and optimistic guidance is real money. Verify the license too. Florida licenses are public and searchable through the state's DBPR portal. Pure Equity is a licensed brokerage serving Palm Beach County. You can reach the broker directly at (561) 835-5400.
What does a seller's agent actually do?
A seller's agent prices the home against comparable closed sales. Before it goes live, they advise on repairs and presentation. Then they handle photography and marketing, and put the home in front of buyers and other agents. When offers arrive, they screen them and negotiate both price and terms. Terms matter as much as the number, because inspection windows, financing contingencies, and closing dates all affect whether an offer reaches the closing table.
How much does a real estate agent cost in Highland Beach?
Commissions are fully negotiable. No law or real estate board sets them. What you pay is whatever you and your brokerage agree to in writing before work begins. Since the 2024 rule changes, buyers and their agents must agree compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes. Any seller contribution toward the buyer's side is negotiated rather than automatic. Ask any agent you interview to put their fee in writing.
What is the difference between a realtor, a real estate agent, and a broker?
A real estate agent holds a state license to represent buyers and sellers. A broker holds a higher-level license and can operate a brokerage. That broker also carries final legal responsibility for the office's transactions. Realtor is a membership term for agents belonging to the National Association of Realtors. For someone buying or selling in Highland Beach, three practical questions matter. Is the person licensed, who do they represent in your transaction, and what can they actually tell you about your local market?
Do I need an agent to buy a home in Highland Beach?
You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in Highland Beach do. A buyer's agent handles the parts that are easy to get wrong. That means identifying what comparable homes actually closed for, spotting condition or association issues early, and managing inspection and financing deadlines. Even in a slower market, negotiating room is only useful if you know where it exists.
Can one agent help me sell my current home and buy the next one?
Yes. For people moving within Palm Beach County it is often the more practical route, because one person coordinates both timelines. Sequencing is the hard part. Should your purchase be contingent on your sale? How would you cover a gap if the closings do not line up? What happens if one side is delayed? Plan all of that before either home is listed, rather than after an offer arrives.
