Fort Lauderdale housing market data
Broward County. Monthly medians of closed residential sales, computed from MLS records licensed by Momentum Realty. Latest complete month: 2026-07.
These come from outside sources, not from our MLS records. We keep them separate so you can see where an independent series agrees with ours and where it does not.

Context sources. Median household income: U.S. Census American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2023 vintage. Property tax: county millage, FY2025-26 adopted, applied to the median closed price less Florida's $50,000 homestead exemption, an estimate for a homesteaded primary residence, not a tax bill, and municipal and special-district millage varies within every county. Fair market rent: HUD, by bedroom count. Zillow Home Value Index: a different methodology from ours. ZHVI estimates the value of the typical home, while our figure is the median of homes that actually closed, so the two will not match and the gap is shown rather than hidden. Inventory and price-cut share: county series, June 2026 vintage. Multi-county markets weight each county by its closed-sale count.
Homes for sale and homes going under contract
Both lines are counted from Redfin's county file: active listings, and pending sales, contracts signed that month. Neither is an estimate of buyers. The chart's source line carries the latest month in the file. These figures are Redfin's, not computed from our MLS feeds.
In 2026-07, 17,980 homes were listed for sale across the Fort Lauderdale market and 2,539 went under contract. A year earlier the counts were 14,488 and 1,481, so homes for sale are up 24.1% and contracts are up 71.4% over twelve months. When both lines move together, the balance between buyers and sellers holds roughly steady.

What renters are asked to pay
Typical ASKED rent for units listed on Zillow (Zillow Observed Rent Index), by county, monthly. Asking rent is what new listings seek, not what sitting tenants pay; renewals are invisible to it. These figures are Zillow's, not computed from our MLS feeds.
Broward asks $2,498, +1.3% in a year and 53% above 2019 levels. Asking rent describes new listings, not renewals, so a flat or falling line here reaches sitting tenants slowly and shows up first in concessions on new leases.

Method. Monthly medians of closed residential sales for Broward County. The partial current month is excluded rather than plotted short. County-months with fewer than 25 closed sales are dropped. Multi-county figures are an n-weighted average of county medians, which approximates a pooled median but is not one. Data may be preliminary and subject to revision by its source. See our editorial standards and corrections policy.
