The year 2020 has people experiencing different emotions. Many people are realizing just how short life is and making moves now. If not know, when will we do this seems to be a common theme among buyers and sellers.

Delray Beach is experiencing this now. Condos and single family homes are closing for close to asking price and often above asking price due to low inventory.

Some communities, especially resales in 55+ active adult communities, have more inventory than others, while all-age communities have very little.

CONDO SALES IN DELRAY BEACH FL

Active Delray Beach FL Condos For Sale

Delray Beach real estate market report shows as of September 30, 2020, there were 844 condos for sale. Wow, that’s even less than last month! Delray Beach extends from the beach, to downtown area within the city of Delray to central Delray and then out to west Delray Beach. It’s bigger than most people realize. The highest-priced listing currently available in September was $ 8,849,000 and the lowest was $ 38,400.

No, that isn’t a mistake. You read it right. It says $ 38,400. It’s in a country club with mandatory equity fees, yearly dues, condo fees and, usually, assessments. So while you can buy the condo for $ 38,400 in Delray, you must pay the mandatory equity, along with yearly dues, monthly fees, condo or HOA fees and more to go along with it. It’s pretty pricey. Many people do not want to pay the additional fees associated with equity country clubs these days, unless they are die-hard golfers.
