Faircrest Heights
Homes for Sale in Delray Beach, FL

Faircrest Heights market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $960K ($428 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 50 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is down 32% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level Beaches MLS closed sales (4 closings in the current window).

Faircrest Heights is a mid-century single-family enclave in central Delray Beach, valued for its walkable location and established tree canopy, with a median price of $960K and a market that has cooled sharply over the past year.

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.

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.

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