May showed steady sales in Boynton Beach FL. We are a year-round market in south Florida, with more people moving here full time because of tax benefits, beautiful weather and an easy lifestyle. The number of listings increased slightly in May, while both condo prices and single family homes dipped. What also increased was the days on market.
With more homes coming on the market daily, homeowners who want to sell will want to be a bit more flexible now. The market is becoming more balanced. Of course, this can and does vary by community, but with increasing inventory, sellers should take notice.
As the top pet-friendly real estate agent in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Highland Beach and surrounding areas, I am getting the word out to buyers who have been waiting and looking. They have their choice of new construction or resales. Lots of choices.
I recently had a buyer in a 55+ pet-friendly gated community who made offers on 4 houses where the sellers stood their ground. The buyer walked from each of the 4 houses and, ultimately, made a deal with the 5th seller. Sellers need to realize this and price their condos and homes accordingly.
So, what happened in the Boynton Beach real estate market this past month? Let’s check out the details and see if this market is the right one for you to buy or sell!
We’ve had a lot of fresh inventory hit the market in the past month or so. Buyers have more choices now than they’ve had in years – again, it varies by community.
CONDO SALES IN BOYNTON BEACH FL
Active Boynton Beach FL Condos For Sale
As of May 31, 2019, there were 657 condos for sale in Boynton Beach FL. This remained pretty much the same as the previous month. It may sound like a lot, but many people don’t realize how big Boynton Beach really is. It runs from the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway, central to the Florida Turnpike and west of that out to State Rd 7.
The highest-priced listing currently available in May was $ 3,300,000 and the lowest was $ 1.
.No, that isn’t a mistake. You read it right. It says $ 1. 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 $ 1, you must pay mandatory equity, along with yearly dues and monthly fees to go along with it. I can tell you, it’s pricey.
Many people do not want to pay the additional fees associated with country clubs these days, unless they are die-hard golfers. There is also a condo priced at $ 1200 and a few are for sale at $ 1. Hard to believe, right?
There is a wide variety of options available in Boynton Beach from oceanfront and Intracoastal houses to small condos, gated communities – both all age and 55+ active adult. There are newer condos and older condos, newer homes and older homes. It is all across the board.

What can Boynton Beach FL Residents Expect Regarding Real Estate In The Coming Months?
The market is stabilizing. We are seeing a shift to a buyer’s market in certain communities, especially in the 55+ resales. Sellers need to be aware of this and price their properties for today’s market, not the market of a year ago or even six months ago.
There is a lot of new construction of houses going on in western Boynton Beach, both all age and 55+ gated communities.
While this varies by community – some communities have more inventory, while others have very little, you need a great agent to explain these facts to get your home sold. Or, in the alternative, if you’re a buyer, you need a great buyer’s agent to do the research for you, whether you’re looking for a pet-friendly 55+ gated community in Boynton Beach or Delray Beach, FL or an all age pet friendly gated community in Boca Raton.
