Market Heat
Forest Ridge Single Famil sits in Davie's western edge where lot-heavy single-family tracts compete for buyers who want space but not quite ranch country. At $852,000 median and $366 per square foot, you are paying for land and elbow room—this is not a townhome-density play. The market has cooled from its peak, down just over five percent year-over-year, but the long view since 2012 shows a 140-percent climb. That tells you appreciation happened; it does not promise more is coming.
Nine closings in the trailing window and a 39-day median time-on-market put this in balance-to-cool territory. Our market-heat score of 31 flags a buyer's window: you have negotiation room, and sellers are adjusting expectations. Inventory moves, but it is not flying off the shelf. If you are chasing condition and lot premium, budget for it—the spread between turnkey and project homes here is real, and the median reflects a mix.

Forest Ridge Single Famil is a Davie neighborhood where the play is land and single-family footprint at the mid-$800s median. The market has eased from its recent peak, and days-on-market stretch past a month, giving buyers leverage they did not have two years ago.
Who Forest Ridge Single Famil is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with budget at or above the $852K median who want single-family space and are comfortable evaluating deferred maintenance and pricing it into their offer.
- Equity-position buyers looking to trade up from higher-density product and willing to negotiate in a market where days-on-market stretch past a month.
- Investors or owner-users who value land over amenities and can close without needing a pristine comp set or multiple recent sales to justify appraisal.
Probably not for
- First-time buyers stretching to the median who need every dollar of appraised value to close and cannot absorb repair surprises post-inspection.
- Buyers who want a master-planned feel with pools, trails, and gates—there are no identified community amenities here.
- Anyone counting on near-term appreciation to validate the purchase; the five-percent year-over-year decline and modest transaction volume do not support that thesis.
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 15 of each year, from record-level Beaches MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($852K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($898K) IS the -5.1% one-year change.

The Forest Ridge Single Famil buying strategy.
If we were buying in Forest Ridge Single Famil 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 Forest Ridge Single Famil.
What the numbers say about leverage
A 39-day median DOM and a heat score of 31 mean this is not a multiple-offer frenzy. Sellers are living with showings that stretch into the second month, and the five-percent year-over-year pullback has recalibrated pricing expectations. Nine closings in the recent window is thin but steady—enough to establish a floor, not enough to create urgency. If you are a buyer, you have time to inspect, negotiate repairs, and walk if the bones do not justify the ask.
The $366 per-square-foot median is mid-pack for Davie's detached-home inventory, but it does not capture the lot-size premium or the condition gap. Some of these homes are original-owner holdings that need full rehabs; others are renovated and priced accordingly. The median is the middle, not the entry point or the ceiling, and there is no MLS-documented amenity package to add a community premium. You are buying the home and the dirt, and the market is pricing both with more sobriety than it did a year ago.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Forest Ridge Single Famil. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
