Home Prices in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Over the last 90 days the median single-family home in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sold for $962,500 ($486 per square foot) and the median condo or townhome for $500,000 ($398 per square foot). Against the same 90 days a year earlier that is -17.2% for single-family homes and -9.8% for condos. Homes on the market now are asking a median $1,357,500 (single-family) and $532,450 (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
132 homes and condos are for sale in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea today, 8 of them listed in the last seven days, and 16 are under contract. 12 sales closed in the last 30 days. Single-family homes carry 9.8 months of inventory and condos 10.5 months, which makes the single-family side a buyer's market: under four months favours sellers, over six favours buyers. Active single-family listings have been on the market 167 days on average, condos 124 days.
Single-Family Homes vs. Condos and Townhomes
The two halves of the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea market move differently. Single-family sellers achieved 93% of their asking price on the typical sale in the last 90 days after 29 days on market; condo and townhome sellers achieved 94.9% after 137 days. 8 single-family homes and 28 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
170 residential sales closed in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea over the last twelve months. The whole-market median sold price moved from $850,000 in Oct 2025 to $565,000 in Aug 2026, a change of -33.5%. 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.
Selling a Home in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Buyers who look at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea are usually comparing it with the Galt Ocean Mile and Pompano Beach, weighing a walkable low-rise beach town against larger towers, so pricing starts from the closed sales that match your building or street, your distance to the beach, your water frontage and your condition, not a townwide median. A 1950s Bel-Air pool home, a Silver Shores duplex and an oceanfront condo in Villas by the Sea each have their own buyer and their own comparable sales. Start with a free valuation built on recent MLS sales, request a guaranteed cash offer for a fast, as-is sale, or ask for a full comparative market analysis before you list.
Investing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Investors buy in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea for demand from winter residents and vacationers who want a beach town they can walk, and from annual renters who work in Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach. Duplexes and fourplexes in Silver Shores are the town's small income properties, and many older condominiums lease furnished by the month or the season. Two sets of rules decide the return: the association's minimum lease term and the number of leases it allows a year, and the state licence and any town registration required for short-term vacation rentals. The rental pages show live rents, and the price-reduced page tracks the listings that need a buyer.

Well-priced homes go under contract in the first few weeks; the average is pulled up by listings that started too high.

- Over the last twelve months the whole-market median sold price in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea moved from $850,000 (Oct 2025) to $565,000 (Aug 2026), -33.5%. Comparing the last 90 days with the same 90 days a year earlier, single-family medians are -17.2% and condo medians -9.8%. Monthly medians swing with the mix of homes that happened to close, so the direction over several months matters more than any one month.

- 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 23, 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.
