Buying: Price per Square Foot

Over the previous 90 days, single-family homes closed at a median of $373 per square foot in Pompano Beach and $435 in Fort Lauderdale, about 17% higher in Fort Lauderdale. Condos closed at $238 and $382, about 61% higher in Fort Lauderdale. Price per square foot compares the two cities on equal terms, but it is a citywide median: waterfront, new construction and older inland homes sit far apart within each city, and each city's own pages break that down.

Renting: Asking and Leased Rents

The median asking rent across all homes for rent was $2,500 a month in Pompano Beach and $2,700 in Fort Lauderdale. Houses were asking $3,300 and $3,900; condos $2,250 and $2,300. Leases that actually closed in the previous 90 days had a median of $1,950 in Pompano Beach and $2,016 in Fort Lauderdale. Asking and leased medians describe different sets of homes, so the gap between them is not a discount.

How Fast Each Market Moves

Homes that sold took an average of 102 days in Pompano Beach and 112 days in Fort Lauderdale; rentals took 90 and 80 days to lease. Pompano Beach had 10.2 months of inventory, which reads as a buyer's market; Fort Lauderdale had 11.5 months of inventory, which reads as a buyer's market.

For Investors

Single-family rentals were asking $2.60 per square foot a month in Pompano Beach and $2.88 in Fort Lauderdale; condos $2.38 and $2.77. No yield is calculated from these figures, because the homes that sell and the homes that rent in a city are often different stock, and insurance, taxes at the purchase price and association rules decide an individual property's return. Nothing here is a projection or a promise of results.

How These Figures Are Calculated

Sale figures are medians of closings in the previous 90 days and rent figures are medians of active residential leases, with seasonal, weekly and one-time quotes excluded. Every city is measured at the same moment so the two columns can be compared. The luxury threshold is the price this site uses for each city's luxury pages, set from that city's own prices. These are market statistics, not an appraisal of any home.
