Homes listed or recently sold were built 1956–1965; none of the 3 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 19 ft). As of November 2026, the MLS records 1 closed sale in High Acres 1St Add in Delray Beach, FL, the most recent in August 2026. Across Delray Beach as a whole, 432 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $262,500, 51 median days on market, with 1,465 homes for sale today. At that median and Palm Beach County's FY2025-26 rate of 18.72 mills, annual property tax runs about $4,910 ($4,140 with the full homestead exemption).
High Acres 1St Add is a small pocket of Delray Beach where price is driven by the individual home rather than any shared community feature. With no amenities identified in the current MLS listings, buyers are paying for the house, the lot, and the location — not for a gate, a pool, or a clubhouse. That means condition and updates do most of the work in setting value, and the spread between a dated home and a renovated one can be wide.
Closing activity here is thin — only a couple of closings inside our recent window — so this is a market read built on a light data set. For sellers, that argues for careful pricing against condition rather than leaning on comps that barely exist. For buyers, it means each listing tends to trade on its own merits, and patience often pays more than urgency.
Figures in this note are as of July 20, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The High Acres buying strategy.
If we were buying in High Acres 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 High Acres.
A house-by-house market
Without shared amenities to standardize value, this is a community where the details of each property matter more than the address alone. Renovation level, lot, and layout carry the pricing conversation, and two homes on the same street can justify very different numbers based on what has and hasn't been updated.
The low closing count means there is limited recent data to anchor expectations. That cuts both ways: it rewards buyers who do the legwork on a specific home, and it rewards sellers who price honestly against condition rather than a thin comp set. Treat any single sale as one data point, not a trend.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in High Acres. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a low-volume pocket like this, the numbers alone won't tell you enough. We price and negotiate off the actual condition of the home in front of you, walk the specifics of the property and its Delray Beach location, and keep you from over-relying on a data set that's simply too small to lean on. That grounded, house-by-house approach is where we earn our keep.

What it really costs to own in High Acres
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | Current owners' bills run a median of $16,479/yr across 3 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-11-07). |
|---|---|
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Palm Beach County is $1,753/yr (18,387 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. |
| Roof and age | Median build year 1957 across 3 listings. An original roof here would be about 69 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails. |
