Boynton Beach home sale report: prices, sale-to-list and days on market

This Boynton Beach home sale report is built from the city's own MLS record rather than a national headline. Over the trailing twelve months 3,225 homes closed here at a median of $403,000, and 1,550 are on the market now. The numbers below are what a seller should actually price against.

Every situation on this page comes down to a number: what the property is worth and what you would net. We will work both out from recent sales near you, at no cost.

The headline numbers

3,225 homes closed in Boynton Beach over the trailing twelve months at a median of $403,000.

1,550 listings are currently active, of which 1,503 are residential, asking a median of $325,000.

468 are under contract, which is a useful forward indicator: roughly a third of the active count is already spoken for.

Sold listings averaged 45 days on market. Active listings are averaging 78.

The median asking price works out at $234 per square foot across the active residential inventory.

All of these figures were measured on 25 September 2026 and describe a market that moves, so treat them as a snapshot.

Why what sells costs more than what is listed

The median closing price here, $403,000, sits $78,000 above the $325,000 median asking price of active listings.

That is not a market rising by a quarter in a year. It is composition, and understanding it correctly matters.

The cheaper end of the inventory is the part that sits, so the active pool skews low while the homes that actually transact skew higher.

630 of the active listings are condominiums, many in older communities at lower price points that move slowly.

A seller who judges their home against the city's asking median is therefore benchmarking against unsold inventory.

Price against closed sales of your own property type in your own community, which is a different and better number.

Sale-to-list: what sellers actually achieved

Homes here closed at a median 93.7% of their ORIGINAL asking price, not of their final reduced price.

That distinction matters. Measured against the final list price almost every market looks like 100%, because a reduced listing is effectively relisted at the number it then sells near.

87% of sales closed below what the seller first asked, so getting your opening number is the exception rather than the rule.

On the $403,000 median that 6.3% gap is roughly $25,000 of value lost between the first ask and the close.

That figure is larger than most of the line items sellers spend time worrying about.

It is also the one entirely within your control before the listing goes live.

Days on market, read properly

Sold listings averaged 45 days from listing to accepted offer. Active listings are averaging 78 days and still waiting.

Those two numbers describe different populations, and the gap between them is the signal.

A 33-day spread means the slower half of the current inventory is priced ahead of what buyers will pay.

It does not mean the market takes 78 days. It means overpriced homes take considerably longer than 78 and correctly priced ones took 45.

Add association approval time on top, because a board meeting schedule sets your realistic closing date rather than the contract.

Plan your move from the 45-day figure plus approval time, not from the 78.

What is actually on the market

757 of the active listings are single-family homes, 630 are condominiums, 104 are townhouses and 26 are land.

That near-even split between houses and condominiums is unusual and it means the two compete for attention rather than for buyers.

The interquartile range runs from $202,000 at the 25th percentile to $526,000 at the 75th.

245 active listings are in buildings of three storeys or more, where Florida's milestone inspection and reserve study requirements apply to older buildings.

28% of active residential listings are waterfront, which is a substantial share for an inland-leaning city.

Match your comparables to your own property type before anything else, because a condominium comparable tells a house seller very little.

The age-restricted half of this market

51% of active residential listings here are in age-restricted communities, the second highest share in the county.

Those communities function as self-contained markets, and comparables from outside them mislead in both directions.

Cash purchases are more common in that segment, which removes appraisal and financing risk from a transaction.

It also means the buyer pool is specific and smaller, so exposure matters more than it would in the general market.

Buyers there weigh total monthly carrying cost at least as heavily as price, which puts the association fee into your pricing decision.

If you are in one of these communities, the city-wide figures above are context rather than guidance.

Housing age and what it means for your buyers

74% of active listings were built before 2000 and 35% before 1980, with a median year built of 1987.

Only 8% were built in 2010 or later, so genuinely modern housing is a small part of this market.

That age profile is why insurability decides your buyer pool here rather than merely affecting offers.

A financed buyer who cannot obtain a policy cannot obtain a mortgage, which removes them entirely.

Roof age is the first filter, and in communities built in phases the roof ages cluster, so a whole community can come under scrutiny at once.

91% of the stock is concrete block, which helps, but the roof, plumbing and panel questions remain.

The rental market, if you are weighing selling against letting

819 rental listings are active in Boynton Beach at a median asking rent of $2,755 a month.

That is a genuinely deep rental market, which matters if you are deciding between selling and letting.

Against a $403,000 median sale price, that rent is roughly 8.2% of the value annually before any costs.

Costs then take a real bite: association dues at a $621 median, insurance, taxes, maintenance, vacancy and management.

The 819 competing rental listings also tell you a landlord here has competition for tenants.

Neither answer is automatically right, and it depends on your equity, your tax position and whether you want to be a landlord.

What this means if you are listing now

Price from closed sales of your own property type in your own community rather than from the city asking median.

Expect to achieve somewhere near 93.7% of a correctly set original asking price, and set that price accordingly.

Plan for roughly 45 days to an accepted offer plus association approval time, not 78 days.

Resolve any insurability question before listing, because it determines how many buyers can complete rather than how they feel.

If you are in an age-restricted community, get comparables from inside it, because outside ones will mislead you.

What is the median home price in Boynton Beach?
Two different numbers, and the difference matters. Homes that closed over the trailing twelve months medianed $403,000. Active listings are asking a median $325,000. Measured 25 September 2026 across 3,225 sales and 1,550 active listings.
Why is the closing price higher than the asking price?
Composition, not a rising market. The cheaper end of the inventory is the part that sits, so the active pool skews low while what actually transacts skews higher. 630 active listings are condominiums, many older and slower moving.
What percentage of asking price do homes sell for here?
A median 93.7% of the ORIGINAL asking price, and 87% of sales closed below what the seller first asked. On a $403,000 sale that gap is about $25,000. Measured against the final reduced list price almost any market looks like 100%, which is why the original matters.
How long does it take to sell a house in Boynton Beach?
Sold listings averaged 45 days from listing to accepted offer. Active listings are averaging 78 and still waiting, which is the overpriced half. Plan from the 45-day figure plus association approval time, which runs on the board's schedule.
How many homes are for sale in Boynton Beach?
1,550 active listings as of 25 September 2026, of which 1,503 are residential: 757 single-family homes, 630 condominiums, 104 townhouses and 26 land parcels. A further 468 are under contract.
Is Boynton Beach a seller's market?
Mixed, and the averages hide it. Correctly priced homes sold in 45 days at 93.7% of their original ask, which is a functioning market. The 78-day average on active listings says the optimistically priced half is waiting. Which half you are in is a pricing decision.
How much of the market is 55 and over?
51% of active residential listings are in age-restricted communities, the second highest share in the county. Those are self-contained markets where outside comparables mislead, cash is more common, and buyers weigh monthly carrying cost as heavily as price.
How old is the housing stock?
74% of active listings predate 2000 and 35% predate 1980, with a median year built of 1987. Only 8% were built in 2010 or later. That age profile is why insurability decides your buyer pool rather than merely affecting the offers you get.
Should I rent my home out instead of selling?
Worth comparing properly. 819 rental listings are active at a $2,755 median asking rent, roughly 8.2% of the $403,000 median sale price annually before costs. Dues at a $621 median, insurance, taxes, maintenance, vacancy and management then take a real bite.
Where do these numbers come from?
The MLS record for Boynton Beach, measured on 25 September 2026: trailing twelve months for sold figures, a point-in-time snapshot for active ones. They describe a market that moves, so ask us for current numbers before you price.
