Garfield
Homes for Sale in Pembroke Pines, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Garfield sits in a stratum of the Pembroke Pines market where median price—$181,250 as of mid-July—reflects older construction, smaller footprints, and condition spread. At $174 per square foot, you are paying for location and lot, not finishes; expect deferred maintenance or dated interiors in most of what trades hands. Buyers willing to renovate find runway; those wanting move-in ready will filter aggressively or look elsewhere.
The market is slow. Median days on market just over one hundred means inventory lingers and negotiation leverage tilts toward the buyer. Six closings in six months is a thin sample, but the message is clear: this is not a hot pocket, and sellers who price aggressively will sit. For a patient buyer with cash or renovation budget, that friction is opportunity.
The 60-Second Overview
Garfield market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $181K ($174 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 101 days on market for closed sales.
Garfield is a quiet Pembroke Pines neighborhood where affordability comes with trade-offs in age and condition, and where a slow market rewards buyers who can wait and negotiate.
Who Garfield is best for.
Best for
- First-time buyers with renovation tolerance willing to trade condition for affordability and a Broward address.
- Investors targeting light-rehab flips or long-term holds where basis matters more than amenities.
- Downsizers with cash who want a project, low carry cost, and the flexibility to update on their own timeline.
Probably not for
- Buyers stretched on budget who cannot absorb post-close repair costs or handle appraisal gaps on distressed properties.
- Anyone needing immediate move-in readiness or expecting turnkey finishes at this price point.
- Investors modeling fast liquidity—days on market over one hundred means exit takes patience and aggressive pricing.

The Garfield buying strategy.
If we were buying in Garfield 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 Garfield.
What the price buys you
The median of $181,250 positions Garfield as one of the more accessible entry points in Broward, but accessibility here means age and deferred upkeep. Homes that trade at this price-per-foot are typically original-owner estates, investor rehabs, or properties sold as-is. You will not find granite and stainless at the median; you will find solid bones, mature landscaping, and the chance to build equity through sweat or capital.
MLS data shows no community amenities—no pool, no clubhouse, no recreation complex. What you gain is a Pembroke Pines address with proximity to the city's broader infrastructure: shopping, schools as a location feature, and highway access. The value proposition is location at a discount, with the understanding that the discount reflects condition, not just market sentiment.
Days on market over one hundred signals a buyer's environment. Sellers are holding out or inventory is mismatched to demand. Either way, you have time to inspect, negotiate repairs, and walk if the numbers do not work. This is not a market where you write over ask on the first showing.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Garfield. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
