Broward County Real Estate Market Report 2026: What 3,458 Home Sales Tell Us

Every quarter, I pull the actual closed sales data across Broward County — not Zillow estimates, not national headlines — and I dig into the real numbers. This report covers 3,458 closed single-family and townhome transactions over the last 90 days. What I found tells a clear story about where this market is headed — and what buyers, sellers, and investors need to know right now.

Broward County Real Estate: Key Stats at a Glance

• Total homes sold (non-condo, 90 days): 3,458

• Median sold price: $560,000

• Median days on market: 49 days

• Homes that sold in 14 days or less: 728 (21%)

• Homes that took 90+ days to sell: 1,073 (31%)

The Broward Market Is Splitting in Two — And Your Strategy Depends on Which Side You're On

This is the most important insight from the data: there is no single Broward County real estate market right now. There are two markets running simultaneously, and which one you're in depends entirely on pricing strategy and property condition.

• 0–14 days: 728 homes (21%)

• 15–30 days: 583 homes (17%)

• 31–60 days: 625 homes (18%)

• 61–90 days: 448 homes (13%)

• 90+ days: 1,073 homes (31%)

Nearly one-third of all homes sold took over 90 days to close. Meanwhile, 38% sold within the first 30 days. This isn't a slow market across the board — it's a market where correctly priced homes move and everything else sits. For sellers, the first 14 days on market are your highest-leverage window. The 728 homes that sold within two weeks got competitive offers, cleaner contracts, and fewer contingencies.

Broward County Real Estate Market Breakdown by City

Here's what's actually happening in the key Broward County cities. These are real closed transactions — not list prices, not Zestimates.

Davie Real Estate Market

• 171 homes sold | Median price: $555,000 | Median DOM: 36 days | Sold in 30 days or less: 45%

Davie is one of the fastest-moving markets in Broward right now. With a median of just 36 days on market and 45% of homes selling within 30 days, well-priced single-family homes here are not sitting. The mix of larger lots, ranch-style homes, and family-friendly neighborhoods continues to drive consistent demand from local move-up buyers and families relocating from the Northeast.

Tamarac Real Estate Market

• 124 homes sold | Median price: $365,000 | Median DOM: 36 days | Sold in 30 days or less: 44%

Tamarac offers the best value entry point in Broward right now. At a median sold price of $365,000 and a median DOM of just 36 days, it's tied with Davie as the fastest-moving market in the data. This makes Tamarac particularly attractive for first-time buyers, investors targeting cash flow, and retirees seeking affordable single-family options. Kings Point remains a major submarket — though HOA rules in 55+ communities are a critical factor for investors to verify before submitting any offer.

Plantation Real Estate Market

• 166 homes sold | Median price: $675,000 | Median DOM: 48 days | Sold in 30 days or less: 32%

Plantation is one of the strongest mid-to-upper tier markets in Broward County. At a median of $675,000 and 166 closed sales in 90 days, there's real consistent demand — particularly for family-friendly homes in good school zones. The 48-day median DOM means pricing strategy matters: correctly priced homes move, but overpriced listings get punished by buyers who are doing their homework.

Sunrise Real Estate Market

• 128 homes sold | Median price: $460,000 | Median DOM: 50 days | Sold in 30 days or less: 37%

Sunrise sits right in the middle of the Broward market — affordable enough to attract first-time buyers and investors, desirable enough for families who want proximity to Sawgrass Mills and major highways. At a 50-day median DOM, homes here are moving but not flying. Buyers have options and won't overpay, which means pricing strategy is everything for sellers in this market.

Lauderhill Real Estate Market

• 63 homes sold | Median price: $435,000 | Median DOM: 55 days | Sold in 30 days or less: 29%

Lauderhill represents the most accessible entry point for single-family homeownership in this dataset at a median of $435,000. With only 29% of homes selling within 30 days and a 55-day median DOM, this market requires patience and strategic pricing. For cash investors targeting rental properties, Lauderhill still offers strong gross yield potential in Broward — provided you verify HOA rental restrictions upfront.

Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Market

• 568 homes sold | Median price: $638,500 | Median DOM: 56 days | Sold in 30 days or less: 34%

Fort Lauderdale is by far the most active market in this dataset with 568 closed non-condo sales in 90 days. The median sold price of $638,500 reflects a highly segmented market ranging from entry-level inland homes to multi-million dollar waterfront properties. Insurance costs, flood zone status, and condo regulations are critical factors. The 56-day median DOM indicates buyers are selective and pricing precision is non-negotiable.

What Are Buyers Actually Buying in Broward County?

3-bedroom homes dominate. Of the 3,458 closed sales, 1,598 — nearly 46% — were 3-bedroom properties with a median sold price of $530,000. Pool homes sold at a median of $840,000 vs. $470,000 for non-pool homes — a $370,000 gap. Waterfront homes closed at a median of $755,000 vs. $525,000 for non-waterfront. If you have a pool or waterfront access and your agent isn't factoring that into your pricing strategy, you may be leaving significant money behind.

The Housing Stock Is Older Than Most Buyers Expect — And It Matters

The median year built across all 3,458 sales was 1982. Over 60% of homes that sold — 2,091 properties — were built before 1990. For buyers, this means older roofs, older electrical, and older plumbing are the norm in this market. In South Florida, a 1980s roof can add $400–$600 per month to your homeowners insurance — a cost that never shows up on the listing page. I always run a rough insurance estimate before submitting an offer, because what looks affordable on paper can look very different once you factor in the true monthly cost of ownership.

For sellers with older homes: your leverage is condition and updates. Compete on value — because strategic pricing is what wins in this market, not newness.

What This Broward County Market Data Means for You in 2026

If You're Thinking About Selling a Home in Broward County

31% of homes sat on the market for over 90 days. Those sellers chased the market down with price reductions and typically netted less than a correctly priced home would have from day one. Your first 14 days are your most valuable asset. Every decision — price, presentation, marketing, timing — needs to be optimized for that window.

If You're Buying a Home in Broward County

Davie and Tamarac are moving the fastest — 36-day median DOM with 44–45% of homes selling within 30 days. If you see something correctly priced in those markets, don't assume you have time. Get pre-approved, know your full monthly cost including insurance, and be ready to move.

If You're a Real Estate Investor in South Florida

Entry-point opportunities are in Lauderhill and Tamarac — median prices in the $365,000–$435,000 range with consistent transaction volume. The critical variable: verify HOA rental rules and pending special assessments before submitting any offer. In Broward, a bad HOA can eliminate your entire ROI before you close.

If You're Relocating to South Florida from the Northeast

Broward County's median sold price of $560,000 comes with no state income tax, no snow, and lower price-per-square-foot than comparable markets in New Jersey, Connecticut, or Massachusetts. The buyers who struggle here are the ones who didn't account for insurance, HOA, and the speed at which good homes move. Work with someone local who knows the data.
