Candlewood
Homes for Sale in Boca Raton, FL

Candlewood market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $632K ($352 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 14 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is down 5% from the prior 12 months and up 130% since 2012, computed from record-level Beaches MLS closed sales (6 closings in the current window).

Candlewood is a community of 85 homes in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, built between 1987 and 1991 (median 1989), with a median living area of about 1,802 square feet. 67% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Candlewood is an 85-home neighborhood built in the late eighties, turning over quietly at a mid-$600s median with no identified community amenities and a homestead rate above 67 percent.

The median home was built in 1989, and condition variance is everything. Original-owner homes with dated kitchens and baths will price below the median; thoughtfully updated properties with impact glass and modern finishes trade above it. The median close of $632,500 sits at $352 per square foot for roughly 1,800 square feet of living space, which is competitive for older single-family product in this part of Palm Beach County.

Market heat is moderate—homes priced to condition close in under two weeks, but the overall score of 40 signals buyers are doing diligence, not panic-bidding. The YoY dip of 4.7 percent is context, not concern: since 2012, values are up 130 percent. With six closings in the past six months and 85 total homes, turnover is predictable but not frequent.

No MLS-identified amenities means no pool, no clubhouse, no tennis. You own your lot, maintain your landscaping, and access Boca amenities off-site. The homestead share above two-thirds tells you this is a hold-and-live community, not a flip zone or investor cluster. If you want resort living, look elsewhere; Candlewood delivers single-family ownership in Boca at a price that reflects age and simplicity.

In a small, condition-driven enclave like Candlewood, pricing to the specific home—not the neighborhood average—is the difference between thirteen days and sixty. We comp every update, pull permit history when it matters, and tell you when deferred maintenance will cost you equity at resale. If you're selling, we position the property honestly and avoid the relist cycle. If you're buying, we'll walk the attic and call out the roof age before you're under contract. Momentum doesn't guess—we ground every number in the sale that just closed, and we know when to tell a client this isn't their community.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
