Which way this market is moving
Active inventory across Broward County has fallen over the past year (-14%). About 20% of county listings currently carry a price cut, which tells you how much negotiating room the average seller has already conceded. Progresso itself has appreciated about 0% over the period Momentum’s MLS data tracks — a community-level trend, not the county average. A strong local agent will reconcile these numbers with what is happening on your exact street before recommending a price.
What it costs to own in Progresso
On a median-priced Progresso home ($908,000), property taxes at Broward County’s typical millage of 19.8427 run roughly $17,025 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.
The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Broward County is about $1,561 a year (April 2026 filings); private-market quotes differ, and a good agent will tell you which carriers are actually writing here.
Run the real numbers before you commit: what selling nets you, whether your Save Our Homes benefit moves with you, and rent vs buy in Broward County.
At Progresso’s $908,000 median and Broward County’s adopted 19.84 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $18,020 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $17,190 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Broward County tax page.
Rents and the investor math
Typical asking rent across Broward County sits near $2,498 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 1.3% year over year. County-level yield math pencils to roughly a 7.04% cap rate on typical numbers, before expenses. Home prices run about 5.71x the county’s median household income, the affordability backdrop every buyer here negotiates inside. If you are weighing an investment purchase in Progresso, ask your agent for community-level rent comps rather than county averages — the spread between communities is wide.
Who is moving to Broward County, and what they earn
The county lost a net 13,129 people in the latest IRS county-migration year. Households moving IN average $90,662 in income versus $75,372 for those moving out — movers arriving here earn more than those leaving, which shapes what sellers can ask and what buyers compete against. The biggest out-of-state feeder markets are NY, NJ, CA. Median household income in Broward County has grown about 30% since 2018 ($74,534 now). Population is up about 2% over the same stretch. An agent who knows these flows can tell you which way demand in Progresso is actually pointing, not just where prices have been.
Sources: IRS SOI county-to-county migration; U.S. Census income and population estimates. County-level data for context; community demand varies within the county.
School context you can verify: the Broward County school district earned a district grade of A from the Florida Department of Education (2025-26) and has held an A since 2024. Attendance zones vary by address, so confirm the zoned schools for any specific home with the district.

If you’re buying in Progresso
Time is on your side in Progresso right now. Tour aggressively, compare concessions — rate buydowns and credits often beat a small price cut — and let your agent use days-on-market as negotiating leverage. Every price cut on a listing is information.
If you’re selling in Progresso
Selling into a slower Progresso market means prep and pricing are the whole game. Interview agents on their marketing reach beyond the MLS, their plan for the first 14 days, and what they would do at day 45 if showings stall. The wrong list price costs more than any commission difference.
Questions to ask before you hire a Progresso agent
- How many homes have you sold in or near Progresso in the last year — the community recorded 132?
- How would you price my home against the $480 per square foot Progresso closings have averaged?
- Homes here have been taking about 56 days to go under contract — what is your plan for the first two weeks?
- With about 8.6 months of supply in Progresso, is this a market where you would advise me to negotiate or hold firm?
- How and how often will you communicate with me?
- Can you share recent client references?
Why community expertise matters in Progresso
Two homes a mile apart can sell on completely different terms. A Progresso expert prices to the micro-market, knows which upgrades buyers reward, and has the relationships to get deals done.
Top listing agents vs. buyer’s agents in Progresso
If you’re selling in Progresso, a top listing agent’s pricing, staging, and marketing are what win top dollar — the same skills behind a strong home sale. If you’re buying, a sharp buyer’s agent protects you in negotiation and inspections. The best Progresso Realtors do both well; ask any agent you interview which side they’re strongest on and how they’d handle yours.

At a median around $908,000, Progresso is a higher-end market. The best luxury agents bring professional photography, marketing aimed at qualified buyers, discretion, and real negotiation experience on premium homes — make sure yours has actually closed at your price point here.
