Fair-market rents by ZIP (HUD FY2026)
HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rents set a government benchmark for rents by ZIP and bedroom count. They're a useful floor for underwriting, though actual market rents vary by condition and building. (For a calibrated, property-specific estimate from real closed leases, that's what ReSharpe does inside the app.)
| ZIP | Studio | 1 BR | 2 BR | 3 BR | 4 BR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 33426 | $1,940 | $2,060 | $2,440 | $3,160 | $3,670 |
| 33435 | $1,960 | $2,080 | $2,470 | $3,200 | $3,710 |
| 33436 | $2,130 | $2,270 | $2,690 | $3,490 | $4,040 |
| 33437 | $1,920 | $2,040 | $2,420 | $3,140 | $3,640 |
| 33472 | $2,320 | $2,460 | $2,920 | $3,780 | $4,390 |
| 33473 | $2,220 | $2,470 | $2,960 | $3,860 | $4,610 |
Home-price appreciation (FHFA)
The FHFA House Price Index for the West Palm Beach–Boca Raton–Delray Beach, FL (FHFA metro division) shows how Palm Beach County prices have moved — including through the cycle, which is the part most “appreciation” claims skip:
- +71.6%5-year (11.4%/yr)
- +142.4%10-year (9.3%/yr)
- +89.5%20-year (3.2%/yr)
For context, the same index fell about 49.4% from its 2006 peak to its post-crisis trough around 2012, and now sits roughly 87.2% above that prior peak. Prices here are cyclical — underwrite on current cash flow, not on a straight line.
Investing in Boynton Beach: what to know
A large share of condos, townhomes and 55+ communities west of I-95, plus older coastal stock east — generally more affordable than its southern neighbors.
Entry prices are lower than Boca/Delray, which tends to mean stronger cash-on-cash for long-term rentals; HOA-heavy inventory makes document review essential.
Many western communities are 55+ with reserve and assessment considerations; verify age restrictions and leasing caps before underwriting a buy-to-rent.
None of the above uses MLS listing data — it's government benchmarks plus general market knowledge. To analyze actual Boynton Beach listings with calibrated rent, valuation and condo-document review, that happens inside ReSharpe (for licensed agents), with the approach explained on the methodology page.
