How long homes really take to sell in Delray Beach
The median Delray Beach single-family home took 43 days to sell and the median condo or townhome 66 days, January 1 - September 2, 2026 - counted across relistings, so the clock does not reset when a property is withdrawn and put back on. 28.5% of house sales and 39.1% of condo sales took more than 90 days.
Most sites quote a days-on-market number that restarts the moment an agent relists. That makes a home that has been available for eight months look like it came out last week, and it is the most common way sellers are misled about their own market. The figures here use the cumulative count, which is why they are higher - and useful.
