The focused cut

Same twelve months, ZIP by ZIP

A city median hides a lot. This is as fine as the data goes before a median stops meaning anything.

ZIP	Sold	Median price	$/sq ft	Days on market	Sale to list	Share that is Boca Raton
33433	670	$512,500	$287	38	96.0%	100%
33434	562	$324,950	$255	48	95.2%	100%
33496	545	$999,000	$417	34	95.6%	100%
33428	475	$555,000	$303	35	96.5%	100%
33432	436	$1,700,000	$829	71	94.0%	100%
33487	396	$800,000	$438	53	94.4%	65%
33486	275	$815,000	$442	29	96.4%	100%
33431	254	$720,000	$447	47	95.2%	100%
33498	238	$794,000	$338	36	96.2%	100%

Each row is the whole ZIP, not this city’s slice of it, so the rows add up to more than the 3,715 sales in Boca Raton itself. Showing the 9 ZIPs where Boca Raton is the majority of sales and at least 25 homes changed hands. 1 more ZIPs carry a Boca Raton address but belong mostly to a neighbouring city — 33323 (0.4% Boca Raton). They are left out rather than printed as a Boca Raton number.

Renting

What tenants actually signed for

Closed leases, never asking prices. Bedroom counts are never blended — a studio median and a 3-bedroom median are different markets.

Size	Leases signed	Median rent
Studio	18	$1,450
1 bedroom	298	$1,650
2 bedroom	1,252	$2,500
3 bedroom	802	$3,800
4 bedroom	337	$5,500
5 bedroom	125	$11,000
6 bedroom	11	$17,000

Across all sizes, 2,845 leases closed at a middle rent of $3,100 a month.

What a feature is worth

The premium, in dollars per square foot

Feature	With it	Without it	Difference	Sales compared
Waterfront	$352	$345	+2%	2,589 vs 4,237
Pool	$366	$318	+15%	4,792 vs 2,034
Newly built (Condo)	$1,059	$238	+345%	184 vs 2,055
Newly built (Single-family)	$704	$398	+77%	142 vs 3,138

A premium is a price difference, not proof the feature caused it — waterfront homes are often bigger and newer too.

The economy figures are county-wide — that is as fine as the federal data goes. The Census figures are for the city itself, and lag by a year or two because that is when the survey lands.

Before you lean on a number

How this was measured

Sales are closed transactions from our own MLS feed — not asking prices, not estimates, not a national model.
The window is the twelve months to August 19, 2026, compared with the twelve months before it. Same window on both sides, always.
Every headline figure is a median — the middle sale. One mansion cannot drag it.
A ZIP needs at least 25 sales to get a row. Thinner ones are counted in the footnote instead of given a median.
Rents are closed leases, kept separate by bedroom count. We never blend a studio into a three-bedroom median.
Economy figures come from the Federal Reserve and the US Census, free and public, with the series name printed next to each one so you can check it.
