Over the recorded series, Plaza Estates 3Rd Sec’s median sold price moved from $59,750 (2013) to $440,000 (12 months ending 2026-07-15) — +636% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2013 at $59,750. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 8 closings a year (10-yr average 4.1). With roughly 4.1 closings a year, Plaza Estates 3Rd Sec’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
Of the 12 recorded Plaza Estates 3Rd Sec closings since 2024, half landed between $374,250 and $461,250 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $300,000 and the highest $495,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $325,000 | 2 (17%) | |
| $325,000 – $375,000 | 1 (8%) | |
| $375,000 – $425,000 | 3 (25%) | |
| $425,000 – $475,000 | 5 (42%) | |
| None and up | 1 (8%) |
At Plaza Estates 3Rd Sec’s $440,000 median and Broward County’s adopted 19.84 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $8,730 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $7,900 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.
