Sell My House in Boca Raton: What It Takes Right Now
Short answer: selling a house in Boca Raton takes a median of 34 days to go under contract, and the price you set on day one decides most of the outcome: houses that sold within a month closed a median 2.8% under their original asking price, while those still unsold after 180 days closed 14.2% under. 83% of all 2,201 houses sold here in the last twelve months closed below what they first asked.
What the last twelve months actually say
Every seller is told to price correctly. Almost nobody is shown what mispricing costs in their own city. This is the whole Boca Raton record for the last twelve months, houses and condominiums separately because they are different markets with different buyers.
| Boca Raton: how long closed sales took | Houses | Condos and townhouses |

Read the first and last rows together. A Boca Raton house that sells in its first month gives up 2.8% off the original price; one that is still there after six months gives up 14.2%, and it has carried six months of taxes, insurance and interest to get there. The discount is not a negotiating failure at the end. It is a pricing decision at the start, paid later.
Right now there are 512 houses on the market in Boca Raton at a median asking price of $1,624,000, and 160 of them (31%) have been listed more than 90 days. On the condominium side, 342 of 970 (35%) are past 90 days. That is the queue any new listing joins.
How we sell a house here
The order matters more than any single tactic.
- A written opinion of value first. Gia Freer, our Broker of Record, reads the sales that genuinely compare — your community, your property type, your condition — and gives you the number in writing with those sales attached. No automated estimate is published on this site, because none of them read a renovation, a view or a lot line.
- Then the net. What you actually keep after payoff, taxes, association estoppel, title and commission. Sellers make better decisions from a net figure than from a price.
- Then condition and documents. Roof age, opening protection, four-point and wind-mitigation reports, open permits, and for a condominium the estoppel, reserve study and milestone inspection status. In Boca Raton these decide insurability, and a buyer who cannot insure cannot close.
- Then launch, once. Photography, copy and price aligned on day one. The first three weeks carry the most qualified traffic a listing will ever get.
If your listing has already come off the market unsold, start with what the data says about an expired listing in Boca Raton instead. If you are behind on payments, start with short sales in Boca Raton.

Selling a house in Boca Raton: questions
How long does it take to sell a house in Boca Raton?
The median Boca Raton house that closed in the last twelve months took 34 days to go under contract, and 25% of the 2,201 closed sales took more than 90 days. Condominiums and townhouses took a median 63 days. Add roughly 30 to 45 days from contract to closing on a financed sale.
What price will my Boca Raton house actually sell for?
Somewhere below what you first ask, in most cases: 83% of Boca Raton houses that closed in the last twelve months sold under their original asking price, at a median 6.2% below it. The size of that gap tracks time on market, from 2.8% for houses sold within a month to 14.2% for those that took more than 180 days.
Should I price high and negotiate down?
The Boca Raton evidence argues against it. Listings that sit accumulate visible days on market that every buyer's agent can see, and they close further below their original price than listings that were priced to the evidence at the start. Pricing high does not preserve room to negotiate; it usually costs both time and money.
How much are seller closing costs in Florida?
The main items are the brokerage fee agreed in your listing agreement, documentary stamp tax on the deed, title and settlement charges depending on county custom and what is negotiated, prorated property taxes, association estoppel fees on a condominium or HOA property, and any payoff or lien releases. We put your specific numbers in a written net sheet before you list, not after an offer arrives.
Do you publish an automated home value for Boca Raton?
No. No automated estimate is published on this site. Gia Freer prepares a written opinion of value by hand from current BeachesMLS sales, with the comparable sales attached, so you can see what the number is built from.

★★★★★ Rosa S. · Google review, February 2020
Gia and John from PBP Real Estate exceeded expectations in selling my mother's Delray Beach condo, which had previously failed to sell with another firm. Despite being in New York, I experienced excellent communication and responsiveness via phone, text, and email, making the remote process, including the closing, stress-free.
