May 2026
Boca Raton Market Report
The Boca Raton real estate market in May 2026 is showing a clear shift toward tighter inventory and strengthening demand, even as overall sales activity remains slightly uneven. Prices continue to hold firm, particularly in the single family segment, while a noticeable rise in pending sales suggests that buyer activity is building momentum heading into the summer.
Boca Raton Single-Family Home
The single family home market is tightening in a meaningful way. Closed sales reached 88, down 5.4 percent year over year, but this dip in completed transactions does not fully reflect current demand. New pending sales surged 24 percent to 103, signaling that more buyers are actively entering the market and likely to drive future closings.
At the same time, inventory conditions are becoming more competitive. Active listings declined 20 percent to just 297 homes, and months supply dropped to 4.0 months from 5.2 months last year. This reduction in available homes, combined with a slight 3.6 percent decrease in new listings, is putting upward pressure on pricing. The median sale price rose 5.0 percent to $1,207,500, showing that values are continuing to appreciate despite fewer closed sales.
Overall, this points to a market where demand is strengthening faster than supply, creating more competition for available homes.
Boca Raton Townhouses and Condos
The townhouse and condo market is moving differently, with softer pricing and slower demand compared to single family homes. Closed sales declined 19 percent to 83 transactions, while new pending sales fell 24 percent to 71, indicating that buyer activity has pulled back in this segment.
Prices also adjusted significantly, with the median sale price dropping 31 percent to $640,000. This suggests a shift in buyer behavior, potentially toward more affordable units or increased price sensitivity among entry level and investor buyers.
Despite this slowdown in demand, inventory has also contracted. Active listings fell 24 percent to 498 units, and months supply decreased from 9.9 to 7.8 months. While this still reflects a more balanced to buyer leaning market, the reduction in supply may help stabilize pricing if demand begins to recover.
Boca Raton is currently a tale of two markets. Single family homes are gaining momentum with rising demand and tightening inventory, favoring sellers and supporting price growth. In contrast, the townhouse and condo segment remains more price sensitive with softer demand, offering opportunities for buyers seeking value.
As we move into the summer, increasing pending sales in the single family market suggest continued upward pressure, while the townhouse and condo market may begin to stabilize if inventory continues to decline.
