Buyers priced out of Delray Beach and Boca Raton don't have to leave the coast — they just have to look a little further north or south, to Boynton Beach and Lake Worth Beach, where prices remain meaningfully lower and the market is tightening just as fast.
Boynton Beach
Single-family median price moved from $510,500 to $566,250, with months of supply nearly cut in half, from 4.4 to 2.7. Condos followed the same pattern: median up from $265,500 to $285,000, supply down from 8.9 to 5.7 months.
Lake Worth Beach
Single-family homes here are selling faster than almost anywhere else on this list — median days to contract dropped from 59 to 41 — even though the median price barely moved, from $555,000 to $560,000. Condo prices actually eased slightly, from $215,000 to $200,000, while supply stayed relatively loose at 6.8 months.
Why this matters for value-conscious buyers
Both towns offer real coastal living at a fraction of Delray or Boca's price tags, and both are tightening — meaning the value gap likely won't stay this wide indefinitely.
