Essex Tower Condo
Homes for Sale in Fort Lauderdale, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Essex Tower Condo is a small Fort Lauderdale high-rise snapshot with limited recent turnover—just three closings in the past quarter at a $480,000 median and $403 per square foot. That pace and price/sq.ft. ratio suggest a building where condition, view, and floor level drive wide variance between units, and buyers are willing to wait for the right stack.
Fifty days on market tells you this is not an impulse buy; serious shoppers are comparing carefully and sellers who price aggressively sit longer. If you're considering a unit here, understand that value is hyper-local to the individual residence—walk the unit, verify finishes and maintenance, and don't assume the median tells you what your unit will command.

Essex Tower Condo market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $480K ($403 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 50 days on market for closed sales.

Who Essex Tower Condo is best for.
Best for
- Condo buyers with $480K liquidity who will order financials and accept slower resale velocity for Fort Lauderdale location.
- Investors comfortable holding three to five years and budgeting for potential special assessments in older mid-rise stock.
- Buyers who prefer quiet buildings with limited turnover and are skilled at evaluating unit-specific condition variance.
Probably not for
- First-time condo buyers who lack experience reading association budgets or identifying deferred maintenance red flags.
- Anyone needing quick resale optionality or assuming median price guarantees appraisal on any listed unit.
- Buyers seeking full-service amenity towers with concierge, pool, fitness center, and robust reserve studies already published.

The Essex Tower Condo buying strategy.
If we were buying in Essex Tower Condo today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Essex Tower Condo.
What sets the price in a quiet tower
In buildings with limited inventory turnover like Essex Tower, the median is a starting reference, not a predictor. Three sales in a quarter means condition spread is everything: updated kitchens, water views, higher floors, and recent HVAC all command premiums the aggregate number hides. Buyers here need to comp individual units carefully and budget for potential deferred maintenance or assessment risk that slow-moving inventory sometimes conceals.
The fifty-day market time reflects Fort Lauderdale's broader condo reality—buyers have choices and they use them. Sellers who list aspirationally extend their hold; sellers who price to the building's actual finish level and assessment history move in thirty to forty days. If you are buying, use that time cushion to order financials, interview board members, and verify reserve health before you write an offer. Momentum's condo diligence protocol exists for exactly this scenario.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Essex Tower Condo. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
Condo towers with thin sales velocity require forensic comps and document review that generic portals will not provide. Momentum pulls building financials, tracks assessment history, and maps floor-by-floor sales to give you the unit-level context the $480,000 median omits. We will tell you when a listing is overpriced for its stack, when reserves look thin, and when another building two blocks away offers better value—even if it costs us a deal.
