By the numbers (as of Nov 10, 2026)
- 8,998 houses and 5,339 condos on the Greenacres roll (Florida DOR 2026 NAL, accessed Nov 10, 2026) [1].
- $308K: median house just value, with the middle half of houses between $259K and $394K [1]. Just value is the appraiser's market-value estimate, not a sale price.
- $145K: median condo just value [1].
- 1989: median year built for houses; 18% were built before 1980 and 2% in 2020 or later [1].
- 1,488 sq ft: median house living area on the roll, at about $206 of just value per square foot [1].
- 72%: share of houses with a homestead exemption on the roll [1].
How does a Greenacres referral to Brian work, step by step?
- Send the details. Budget, move date, and whether your Greenacres client is buying or selling.
- Brian replies to you first.
- Put the fee in writing. Both brokerages sign off before the introduction.
- The fee moves broker to broker. A sales associate cannot collect it except in the employer's name [6], and a licensee cannot pay a referral fee to an unlicensed person [5].
- Fee: 20-25% referral fee depending on the deal, paid broker to broker at closing. Industry sources put the typical share near 25% of the referred side's commission [12].
What does a Greenacres home cost, and where is the data from?
The middle half of Greenacres houses sits between $259K and $394K in just value. The bottom tenth is under $231K and the top tenth is above $456K [1]. The Greenacres median is 34% below the Palm Beach County house median of $465K [1]. The roll's mailing city includes unincorporated areas, so these counts are for the mailing city and not city limits.
On age, 18% of houses were built before 1980, 53% between 1980 and 1999, 28% between 2000 and 2019, and 2% in 2020 or later. The median build year is 1989 [1]. The median house has 1,488 square feet of living area on the roll, and median just value works out to about $206 per square foot [1]. Use that to compare areas, not to price a house.
Condos are 37% of residential parcels in Greenacres. The median condo just value is $145K, the middle half runs $130K to $185K, and the median condo was built in 1982 [1]. Sale prices differ from just value, so ask Brian for recent closed sales when your client is ready to make an offer.
| Place (USPS mailing city) | Houses | Condos | Median house just value | Median house living area (sq ft) | Houses built 2020 or later |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Greenacres | 8,998 | 5,339 | $308K | 1,488 | 2% |
| Lake Worth Beach | 43,383 | 10,101 | $409K | 1,744 | 5% |
| Boynton Beach | 50,848 | 20,921 | $404K | 1,818 | 3% |
| Wellington | 18,607 | 1,332 | $547K | 2,253 | 1% |
The table comes from the 2026 NAL rolls published by the Florida DOR, accessed Nov 10, 2026 [1]. Cities follow USPS mailing addresses rather than municipal boundaries. DOR use code 001 means house and 004 means condo.
Is your client selling a home in Greenacres before the move? Start with what has to happen after it sells.
Send the referral details, or pick a time for a 15-minute seller call with Brian. Two first steps for the seller: the Stress-Free Sale guide and a free home valuation.
Which Greenacres communities and associations come up most, and what do their rules say?
Brian has written up these Greenacres communities. Before an offer, get the association's governing documents, budget and rules. They decide what your client can do with the property.
- Springtree: a Greenacres community with 1980s and 1990s construction.
- Forest Lake: a lakefront community in Greenacres.
- Pioneer Park: a neighborhood with no HOA and older construction.
The guides report what Brian has checked; the community's own documents are the authority on its rules. To see homes on the market, start with Brian's Greenacres homes for sale page.
How do property taxes work for a Greenacres buyer?
Property values come from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser [2] and bills from the Palm Beach County Tax Collector [3].
What can a buyer expect on the tax side? Four rules cover most of it.
- Homestead exemption: up to $50,000, with the first $25,000 on all levies and the rest on non-school levies above $50,000 of assessed value [7].
- Eligibility: ownership and permanent residence by Jan 1, with the application due March 1 [7].
- Cap on homestead growth: the lesser of 3% or CPI, which is 2.7% for 2026 [8].
- Cap without homestead: 10% a year except school levies, with a reset to just value after a sale [9].
Voters approved Amendment 3 on Nov 3, 2026, and it applies starting Jan 1, 2027. For non-school taxes the homestead exemption becomes $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, and the cap on non-homestead assessment increases drops from 10% to 5% [10]. A buyer who was not a Florida resident on Dec 31, 2026 gets the $25,000 school exemption plus up to $50,000 against non-school taxes at first, and the larger exemption starts in the fifth year [10]. The property appraiser can say how that lines up with your client's move date. General information, not tax advice. Flood zones are address by address, so use FEMA's Flood Map Service Center [11].
How do I find the school assignment for a Greenacres address?
School assignment comes from the district. Run the address through the School District of Palm Beach County [4] first, and say nothing about a school until you have. For the city's own rules and services, start with the City of Greenacres site [13].
