Is Fort Lauderdale a buyer's market or a seller's market?

By months of inventory, the single-family side of Fort Lauderdale is a balanced market right now: 5.9 months of supply, with condos and townhomes at 11.5 months (buyer's market). Under four months of supply favours sellers, over six favours buyers, and the two segments often sit on different sides of that line in South Florida.

How long does it take to sell a home in Fort Lauderdale?

Single-family homes that closed in Fort Lauderdale in the last 90 days had been on the market 72 days on average, and condos and townhomes 112 days. Sellers achieved 96.5% of their asking price on the typical single-family sale and 94.8% on the typical condo sale. Well-priced homes go under contract in the first few weeks; the average is pulled up by listings that started too high.

Are home prices in Fort Lauderdale going up or down?

Over the last twelve months the whole-market median sold price in Fort Lauderdale moved from $492,500 (Oct 2025) to $680,000 (Aug 2026), +38.1%. Comparing the last 90 days with the same 90 days a year earlier, single-family medians are +9.9% and condo medians +17.6%. Monthly medians swing with the mix of homes that happened to close, so the direction over several months matters more than any one month.

What is the median rent in Fort Lauderdale?

The median asking rent in Fort Lauderdale is $2,700 a month across 1,549 active rentals: $3,990 for houses and townhomes and $2,300 for condos and apartments. The Fort Lauderdale rentals hub carries the full rental market table, updated daily.

Where do these numbers come from?

Every figure is computed from BeachesMLS through the Spark API: active listings are counted as of the refresh date (September 22, 2026), sold figures cover closings in the last 90 days compared with the same 90 days a year earlier, and the monthly table buckets closed sales by closing date. Statistics refresh once a day and are cached; inventory over time comes from our own daily snapshots. Nothing on this page is typed by hand, and none of it is an appraisal. BreakThru Realty's market data methodology page explains every calculation, and broker of record Tyson E. Sam reviews the method and the written guidance in this report.

Home Prices in Fort Lauderdale

Over the last 90 days the median single-family home in Fort Lauderdale sold for $697,000 ($435 per square foot) and the median condo or townhome for $500,000 ($382 per square foot). Against the same 90 days a year earlier that is +9.9% for single-family homes and +17.6% for condos. Homes on the market now are asking a median $1,049,000 (single-family) and $589,000 (condos and townhomes). Medians describe the middle of the market; a waterfront estate and a garden condo pull in opposite directions, which is why the two segments are reported separately.

Inventory and the Pace of Sales

2,277 homes and condos are for sale in Fort Lauderdale today, 123 of them listed in the last seven days, and 443 are under contract. 254 sales closed in the last 30 days. Single-family homes carry 5.9 months of inventory and condos 11.5 months, which makes the single-family side a balanced market: under four months favours sellers, over six favours buyers. Active single-family listings have been on the market 121 days on average, condos 153 days.

Single-Family Homes vs. Condos and Townhomes

The two halves of the Fort Lauderdale market move differently. Single-family sellers achieved 96.5% of their asking price on the typical sale in the last 90 days after 72 days on market; condo and townhome sellers achieved 94.8% after 112 days. 415 single-family homes and 348 condos and townhomes closed in that window. Condo pricing also carries the building's fees, reserves and rental rules, so a low list price in an older tower is not the same deal as a low list price on a lot.

The Last Twelve Months

3,462 residential sales closed in Fort Lauderdale over the last twelve months. The whole-market median sold price moved from $492,500 in Oct 2025 to $680,000 in Aug 2026, a change of +38.1%. The month-by-month table below shows closings, median price, price per square foot and days to sell; the current month is partial until it closes.
