Seven Isles
Homes for Sale in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Seven Isles market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $3.94M ($1068 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 186 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is down 39% from the prior 12 months and up 364% since 2012, computed from record-level Beaches MLS closed sales (6 closings in the current window).

Seven Isles is a low-density waterfront neighborhood where the value is in the land, the dock, and Intracoastal access—not the house. Most transactions are effectively land sales with a teardown included.

Seven Isles sits on a series of finger islands between Las Olas and Sunrise Boulevard, bordered by the Intracoastal Waterway. Every parcel has water on at least one side; many have docks capable of handling large yachts. The neighborhood has no gates, no amenities, and no HOA common areas—what you're buying is the lot, the water rights, and proximity to downtown Fort Lauderdale and the beach.

The median price per square foot hovers around one thousand dollars, but that figure is misleading—it reflects the assessed value of aging structures on parcels worth millions. Most buyers here are not shopping for finished homes. They're evaluating dock access, seawall integrity, lot dimensions, setbacks, and whether the existing foundation can support a new build or requires full demolition and re-permitting. Expect architects, marine contractors, and flood consultants before you ever talk to a lender.

Inventory moves slowly. The median time on market is just over six months, and in a neighborhood with only a handful of closings in any given period, each transaction sets its own precedent. This is not a market where you can rely on comps from three months ago; each property is priced on its own merits, and each negotiation hinges on how motivated the seller is and how patient the buyer can afford to be.

Location is the single constant. You're two miles from the beach, walking distance to Las Olas, and fifteen minutes by boat to Port Everglades. The trade-off is flood insurance, seawall maintenance, and the reality that your home will sit in a high-risk zone for storm surge. Budget accordingly—not just for construction, but for long-term ownership costs that most inland buyers never encounter.

Seven Isles transactions require more than MLS access—they require fluency in waterfront permitting, dock surveys, seawall inspections, and flood-zone underwriting. Momentum agents work with marine contractors, title attorneys who specialize in riparian rights, and lenders who understand the difference between financing a teardown lot and a renovated estate. We'll tell you when a seawall is a deal-breaker, when dock permits are transferable, and when the asking price reflects wishful thinking rather than market reality. In a neighborhood where each sale is its own negotiation and closings take months, you need a broker who knows which details matter and which ones don't.

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