The median price sits at $820,000, with per-square-foot pricing at $540.90—numbers that signal Fort Lauderdale waterfront proximity or desirable older-neighborhood character rather than new construction or densely amenitized product. Homes here typically offer space, maturity, and a Broward location premium, not the polish or shared facilities that define contemporary master plans.

Market velocity is moderate: the median 41 days on market reflects deliberate buyer behavior in a market segment where condition and lot location drive value more than curb appeal or amenity access. With just three closings in the past quarter, this is a thin market—comps are few, and each sale carries weight. Buyers should expect variability: some homes will be move-in ready, others will price in needed updates or deferred maintenance.

The absence of identified community amenities is the tell. You are buying the Fort Lauderdale address, the land parcel, and proximity to water or greenspace—not a pool, clubhouse, or social calendar. This community rewards buyers who value privacy, larger lots, and the flexibility to improve a property on their own timeline over those seeking a turnkey lifestyle package.

In a three-sale-per-quarter market, every comp is essential and condition differences can swing value by tens of thousands of dollars. Momentum brokers pull permit history, flood-zone detail, and Intracoastal or river access rights—the due diligence that matters when volume is too low to average out mistakes. We will walk you past a property that looks like a deal until you factor in seawall work or unremediated drainage, and we will recognize the rare listing priced under replacement cost for the lot. When the market is this sparse, you need an agent who knows which homes are worth 41 days and which should have sold in 20.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
