Home Prices in Highland Beach
Over the last 90 days the median single-family home in Highland Beach sold for $11,150,000 ($1,875 per square foot) and the median condo or townhome for $1,008,750 ($582 per square foot). Homes on the market now are asking a median $7,999,000 (single-family) and $995,000 (condos and townhomes). Medians describe the middle of the market; a waterfront estate and a garden condo pull in opposite directions, which is why the two segments are reported separately.
Inventory and the Pace of Sales
126 homes and condos are for sale in Highland Beach today, 8 of them listed in the last seven days, and 25 are under contract. 11 sales closed in the last 30 days. Single-family homes carry 13.5 months of inventory and condos 13.5 months, which makes the single-family side a buyer's market: under four months favours sellers, over six favours buyers. Active single-family listings have been on the market 91 days on average, condos 130 days.
Single-Family Homes vs. Condos and Townhomes
The two halves of the Highland Beach market move differently. Single-family sellers achieved 89% of their asking price on the typical sale in the last 90 days after 118 days on market; condo and townhome sellers achieved 91.6% after 127 days. 2 single-family homes and 26 condos and townhomes closed in that window. Condo pricing also carries the building's fees, reserves and rental rules, so a low list price in an older tower is not the same deal as a low list price on a lot.
The Last Twelve Months
185 residential sales closed in Highland Beach over the last twelve months. The whole-market median sold price moved from $1,000,000 in Nov 2025 to $925,000 in Sep 2026, a change of -7.5%. The month-by-month table below shows closings, median price, price per square foot and days to sell; the current month is partial until it closes.
Selling a Home in Highland Beach
A Highland Beach condominium is priced by its building, its exposure and its floor before anything else: a direct-ocean corner in Toscana, an Intracoastal unit with a slip at Regency Highland Club and a one-bedroom in the Ambassadors are three different markets, and within one building the renovated units and the original ones trade far apart. Buyers now ask for the milestone inspection report, the reserve study and any assessment before they ask about the kitchen, so we assemble those documents with the listing. A house on Bel Lido or Grand Cay is priced on its frontage, its seawall and dock, its elevation and whether it will be kept or replaced, and an oceanfront estate is priced against the handful of sales on the sand from here to Gulf Stream and Manalapan rather than against the town. Start with a free valuation built on recent MLS sales in your building or on your street, ask for a full comparative market analysis, or request a cash offer if you need a fast, as-is sale.
Investing in Highland Beach
Investment in Highland Beach takes two forms. The first is the seasonal condominium: furnished units in the oceanfront buildings and at Boca Highland lease for the winter to families from the Northeast and abroad, and some buildings allow annual leases as well, so the rental rules, the minimum term and any waiting period after purchase decide whether a unit can be let at all. The second is the renovation or replacement of an older home on the Intracoastal side, where seventies houses on Bel Lido are bought for the lot and rebuilt, subject to the flood elevation, the seawall and the town's building review, and where an oceanfront lot needs a state permit for anything seaward of the coastal construction control line. There is no multifamily market here. Older buildings with completed milestone inspections and funded reserves are the sounder buys, and the price-reduced page shows the sellers who have cut the price; our team underwrites rents from the live Highland Beach leases before you offer.

- Is Highland Beach a buyer's market or a seller's market?

Sellers achieved 89% of their asking price on the typical single-family sale and 91.6% on the typical condo sale. Well-priced homes go under contract in the first few weeks; the average is pulled up by listings that started too high.

- Over the last twelve months the whole-market median sold price in Highland Beach moved from $1,000,000 (Nov 2025) to $925,000 (Sep 2026), -7.5%. Monthly medians swing with the mix of homes that happened to close, so the direction over several months matters more than any one month.

- Where do these numbers come from?
- Every figure is computed from BeachesMLS: active listings are counted as of the refresh date (October 20, 2026), sold figures cover closings in the last 90 days compared with the same 90 days a year earlier, and the monthly table buckets closed sales by closing date. Statistics refresh once a day and are cached; inventory over time comes from our own daily snapshots. Nothing on this page is typed by hand, and none of it is an appraisal. BreakThru Realty's market data methodology page explains every calculation, and broker of record Tyson E. Sam reviews the method and the written guidance in this report.
