What is the best month to list a house in Boca Raton?
April is the fastest month to list a Boca Raton house (63 days median from listing to closing) and February the month that kept the most of the original asking price (94.1%). March listings had the highest share sold at or above original asking, 19.2%; November listings the lowest, 9.5%. Listings from November took longest, 84 days. The median sale price column describes which houses came to market each month, not a seasonal price change; fourth-quarter listings that closed carried higher medians in 2023-2025, which reflects the mix of houses brought to market in those months, not a seasonal premium.
| Month first listed | Sales | Median days, listing to closing | Median sale price as share of original asking | Sold at or above original asking | Median sale price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

When do the most Boca Raton homes close?
Boca Raton house closings peak in May, June and April and condo and townhouse closings in May, April and March; January is the quietest month for houses and November for condos and townhouses (2023-2025). A closing typically follows the listing by two to three months, so the spring closing peak is made of January to April listings. Sellers who list in February meet the largest pool of buyers under contract in March, April and May; sellers who list in November meet the smallest. Monthly counts are three-year totals with the average per year alongside.
| Closing month | Houses closed 2023-2025 | Houses a year | Condos and townhouses closed 2023-2025 | Condos and townhouses a year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 327 | 109 | 442 | 147.3 |
| February | 417 | 139 | 458 | 152.7 |

Has the best time to sell in Boca Raton changed since 2021?
Yes. In 2021 and early 2022 the season barely mattered: houses listed February to April 2021 and October to December 2021 both closed at a median 100.0% of original asking. From 2022 the seasonal gap reopened and then narrowed again as the whole market slowed. Houses listed February to April 2022 closed at 100.0% and October to December 2022 at 91.5%; for 2025 listings the cohorts were 93.3% and 93.6%, with 72 days and 74 days to closing. For condos and townhouses the 2025 cohorts were 91.2% and 90.9%. The headline tables above use 2023-2025 because 2021-2022 outcomes describe a market that no longer exists. Late-2025 listings that had not closed by September 14, 2026 are not yet counted, so the 2025 October to December row will change in later editions.
| Year first listed | Feb-Apr sales | Feb-Apr median share of original asking | Feb-Apr median days to closing | Oct-Dec sales | Oct-Dec median share of original asking | Oct-Dec median days to closing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 815 | 100.0% | 54 days | 534 | 100.0% | 49 days |
| 2022 | 663 | 100.0% | 49 days | 369 | 91.5% | 75 days |

Does the month you list matter more than the price you list at?
No. The best and worst listing months for Boca Raton houses are 1.4 points of original asking price apart; the gap between houses that never cut their asking price and houses that cut twice is 11.4 points. Houses sold in 2026 with no recorded asking-price cut closed at a median 96.9% of original asking after 12 days on the market; houses with two or more recorded cuts closed at 85.5% after 138.5 days. For condos and townhouses the no-cut cohort closed at 95.8% and the multi-cut cohort at 82.4%. Read both as associations in closed-sale data, not causes: the homes listed in April were not the same homes as those listed in December, and the homes that cut were not the same as those that did not. The practical order is: get the price right first, then choose the month. Source: Boca Raton Seller Pricing Study, closed January 1 to August 31, 2026.
How this was measured
- Source: BeachesMLS closed sales permitted for internet display, delivered through Cotality Trestle (connection 23039), Boca Raton city field, pulled 2026-09-14.
- Grouping: the month the listing first went on the market (MLS on-market date), for listings first marketed 2023 to 2025 that closed by September 14, 2026. Only listings that closed are counted; expired, canceled and withdrawn listings are not, so every month is described by its successful sales.
- Days run from on-market date to closing date and therefore include the contract-to-closing period, typically 30 to 45 days. They are not the "days on market" figure on portal listings.
- Share of original asking price = sale price divided by the first asking price of that listing, not the last. Sold at or above original asking counts sales at exactly the original price.
- Property type follows the tax legal description: a legal description that says condominium is a condo whatever the MLS type; townhouses and villas are one type and are reported with condos. Houses are single-family residences.
- Medians are shown only where a month has at least five sales. Listings with more than 730 days from on-market to closing are excluded as data errors. No figure is modeled or estimated.

Questions about when to sell in Boca Raton
What is the best month to sell a house in Boca Raton?
Among Boca Raton houses first listed 2023 to 2025 that went on to close, April listings sold fastest (median 63 days from listing to closing) and February listings kept the most of their original asking price (median 94.1%). February through April is the strongest window on both measures; November listings took longest to close and September listings kept the least of their asking price. The spread between the best and worst month is 1.4 points of original asking price.
What is the best month to sell a condo in Boca Raton?
Boca Raton condos and townhouses first listed in March (2023 to 2025) closed at a median 93.8% of original asking price, the best month; December listings closed at 90.6%. July listings sold fastest (70 days median from listing to closing) and November listings slowest (101 days). October to December is the weakest window for condos and townhouses on every measure.
When do the most homes sell in Boca Raton?
Boca Raton closings peak in May, June and April for houses and May, April and March for condos and townhouses (2023 to 2025). May averaged 210 house closings a year against 109 in January; May averaged 260 condo and townhouse closings against 140 in November. A closing follows the listing by two to three months, which is why February to April listings meet the spring closing peak.
Is winter a bad time to sell in Boca Raton?
Listings first marketed in November and December 2023 to 2025 took longest to close (84 days and 80 days for houses; 101 days and 91 days for condos and townhouses) and the smallest share sold at or above original asking. Closings are fewest in January for houses and November for condos and townhouses, so a November listing usually meets its buyer after the turn of the year. A well-priced home still sells in winter; the data says it takes roughly two to four weeks longer than a spring listing.
Does the time of year matter more than the asking price?
No. Across twelve listing months the median share of original asking price for Boca Raton houses ranges 92.7% to 94.1%, a 1.4-point spread. Houses sold in 2026 with no recorded asking-price cut closed at 96.9% of original asking in 12 days, while houses with two or more cuts closed at 85.5% after 138.5 days: a spread of 11.4 points. The month you list is worth a few points; the price you list at is worth several times that.
How were these figures measured?
