As of September 2026, Faircrest Heights in Delray Beach, FL has 2 homes for sale. Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 5 recorded sales closed at a median of $970,000, $432 per square foot, a median 50 days on market, sellers accepting 88% of original asking (-31% versus the prior year). Homes listed or recently sold were built 1981–1985; 7 of 7 report an HOA (median $125/mo). At the median price and Palm Beach County's FY2025-26 rate of 18.72 mills, annual property tax runs about $18,160 ($17,380 with the full homestead exemption).
Faircrest Heights is a quiet, established pocket of single-family homes in central Delray Beach, walking distance to older shopping centers and a short drive to the beach. The housing stock reflects mid-century construction—concrete-block ranch and Florida Vernacular layouts, most updated over time. The median sits at $960,000, driven by lot size, renovation quality, and the Delray Beach ZIP code premium; price spread is wide depending on condition and updates.
Market pace is deliberate. Median time on market is 50 days, and the year-over-year price decline of 31.8 percent reflects a sharp cooling after the post-pandemic spike. Only four closings in the trailing window means thin inventory and infrequent comparables—pricing a home here requires recent, relevant data and patience. Sellers need realistic expectations; buyers have negotiating room but limited choice at any given moment.

🟡 Balanced market. 4.8 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Beaches MLS records, as of September 12, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 5 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($970K) is down 31.1% from the prior 12 months ($1.41M).

The Faircrest Heights buying strategy.
If we were buying in Faircrest Heights today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Faircrest Heights.
What the market actually rewards
Price in Faircrest Heights is set by three things: condition, lot, and location within the neighborhood. Many homes are original-footprint ranches that have been renovated—open kitchens, impact glass, updated baths—and those trade at the high end of the range. Unrenovated homes or those needing mechanical updates sit longer and sell for materially less. Lot size matters; larger parcels with mature landscaping and pool space command premiums, especially if they back to quiet streets rather than busier arteries.
The Delray Beach brand carries weight, but Faircrest Heights does not have resort amenities, a golf course, or HOA infrastructure—value here is location and land, not community features. Buyers pay for proximity to Atlantic Avenue, the beach, and downtown without the density of newer infill. The neighborhood reads as established and understated, appealing to those who want a detached single-family feel in a walkable city environment.
The 31.8 percent year-over-year decline is context, not crisis—it reflects a market returning to rationality after unsustainable run-ups. Median days on market at 50 means homes do not fly off the shelf, but serious buyers at realistic prices still transact. Thin inventory means fewer bidding wars but also fewer choices; if a home fits, it may be months before another comparable surfaces.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Faircrest Heights. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (4.0). Basis: Recent Direction -31.1% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 4.8 months of supply; Owner Commitment 86% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 88.2% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
Faircrest Heights demands comp discipline and honest conversation about condition versus price. With only a handful of recent sales, pricing a home or writing an offer requires deep knowledge of what updates actually move the needle and what the current buyer pool will tolerate. Momentum's agents know the difference between a cosmetic refresh and a true renovation, and we will walk you through comparable sales with transparency—no inflated list prices to chase headlines, no lowball offers that waste everyone's time. If you are selling, we price to the market that exists today. If you are buying, we will tell you when a home is overpriced for its bones, and we will negotiate from a position of data, not hope.
