48 homes sold in Boca Falls during 2017. Prices ranged from a low of $415,000 up to a high of $820,000. The neighborhood average was $586,000 for a 3200 square foot house with 4 or 5 bedrooms and a 3-car garage. Homes in this price range take a little longer to sell, with a Boca Falls average of just over two months.
That $415K low is the lowest price not related to foreclosure that we’ve seen in Boca Falls in at least three years. The real low in Boca Falls is closer to $450K, and most homes sold for well over $500K.
Differences in Boca Falls are not as dramatic as some other developments like Boca Winds, Loggers’ Run or Mission Bay. The Estates and Crystal Pointe are generally seen as more expensive, mainly because the houses are larger.

Boca Falls Home Sales for Early 2017
Compared to Boca Winds, homes in Boca Falls seem to be selling slower but still for good prices.
Three homes in Boca Falls have sold for over $600,000 since the start of the year. 21431 Gosier Way (above) sold for the most at $665K after over 3 months on the market. The house has 5 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in almost 3400 square feet, with a number of significant upgrades inside and out. While it looks good, it’s still well below the market peak as the home’s previous transaction was for $785K in 2006.
At $605K, 12299 Riverfalls Court just closed a few days ago. It was on the market for over 7 months. The 5 bedroom, 3 bath model, 3200 square foot model on 2 floors is one of the most popular in Victoria Falls. The home has a larger lot and is on the edge of the cul de sac.

Another transaction for the same model is pending several houses down, for roughly the same price and a long time waiting for a buyer. That one hasn’t closed yet but the inspection carried out by the home inspector appears to be complete. By the way, if you’re looking to buy any of these properties, make sure to check a list of the best home inspectors in your area. It pays to be diligent now rather than have issues later.
12361 Rockledge Circle sold for $604K at the end of March, unusually fast in only 10 days. It’s a 5 bedroom on one floor in 2800 square feet (the kid closets are small). The model is widely seen in its Mystic Cove subdivision.
All of the $600K homes have water views and private pools.
Moving into the $500K range, 12215 Kenton Way sold for $570K after 7 months on the market. The house has 5 bedrooms and 3 baths in 3100 square feet on one floor. This was a short sale and the house has no waterfront.
21426 Gosier Way sold for $560K in 4 months. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths in 2700 square feet on one floor, with a pool but no waterfront.
12307 Rockledge Circle sold more quickly, in just over one month. At 4 bedrooms and 3 baths in 2400 square feet it sold for $550K. It’s small for Boca Falls but has an extended lake view, screened-in pool and significant upgrades.
Selling for $545K after 4 1/2 months was 21480 Halstead Drive in Majestic Pointe. It has 5 bedrooms and 3 baths in 3300 square feet, and a pool but no waterfront. And nearby on Gosier Way, the same model at 21329 Gosier Way sold for just $500 less, with waterfront but no pool. This looks like the buyer got a good deal and the sellers could gotten significantly more if they had been more patient, selling in only 40 days.
Further down in price, 12646 Torbay Drive sold for $510K after 3 months on the market. The home has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths in 2700 square feet on one floor, a pool and a waterfront view. It’s also one of the shorter walks to the nearby top-rated Waters Edge Elementary School. While the house could use some upgrades (dated appliances), this price seems well below market value. The sellers used a “flat fee” broker and their listing photos were cheap with poor lighting.
21407 Gosier sold for just under $500K. The seller was a bank which acquired it out of foreclosure, which typically means a much lower price due to problems in the house. The 5 bedroom, 3 bath home has almost 3400 square feet.
Last and also least, 12730 Yardley Drive sold for $445K in a month and a half. This is one of the smallest homes in Boca Falls with 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths in 2500 square feet and only 2 garage spaces.
Boca Falls 2016 Real Estate Report – Prices Up But …
Boca Falls homes sold for higher prices in 2016 compared to previous years, but the numbers are mixed. The average transaction for the year was just under $593,000, up dramatically from the averages of $538K in 2015 and $522K in 2014. That’s a price increase of over 10% compared to the previous year.
When we dig into the numbers we find it’s not that simple. The reason for the increase appears to be the result of larger homes being sold. The average size in 2016 was nearly 3400 square feet (living area), up from 3100 square feet in 2015 and under 3000 square feet in 2014.
Measured in dollars per square foot the 2016 average was $178/sq.ft, up from $174/sq.ft. in 2015 (a 2% increase). The number in 2014 was $177/sq.ft. Looked at this way Boca Falls home prices have not increased significantly in the last two years. We checked the numbers after taking out REO (foreclosure-related) and short sale transactions. It did not make a noticeable difference.
