Tamarac Lakes South
Homes for Sale in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Tamarac Lakes South market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $335K ($322 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 50 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is down 8% from the prior 12 months and up 359% since 2012, computed from record-level Beaches MLS closed sales (8 closings in the current window).

Tamarac Lakes South is a mature Fort Lauderdale neighborhood in Broward County where the median sale closed at $335K and homes spent fifty days on market through mid-July. The market has softened year-over-year, and buyers currently hold the negotiating edge.

Eight closings in our window is a thin sample, but the patterns are consistent: median days on market at fifty, a median price of $335K, and a median price per square foot of $322 tell you that homes here move slowly and that buyers are shopping condition and value, not urgency. The 8.2 percent year-over-year decline is significant—it reflects both the broader South Florida correction and the reality that Tamarac Lakes South was never a luxury enclave. This is a working neighborhood where appreciation has been dramatic over the long term but where month-to-month volatility is real.

The market-heat score of 21 is as cold as we track: sellers are waiting, and buyers who move decisively can negotiate hard. The cost-per-square-foot figure of $322 is well below what you'll pay in coastal Fort Lauderdale or newer master-planned communities, but that gap exists for a reason—age, condition, and location all play a role. You're buying into a neighborhood that has appreciated 359 percent since 2012, but that history is not a forecast; it's context for understanding how far prices have climbed and how much they've given back in the past year.

No community amenities were identified in current MLS listings, so this is purely a residential enclave without clubhouse or pool infrastructure. What you're buying is the home itself, the parcel, and proximity to Fort Lauderdale services and employment. If you need resort-style amenities or HOA programming, this is not the community. If you want affordable single-family land in Broward County and you have renovation capital or sweat equity, Tamarac Lakes South is worth a close look.

Tamarac Lakes South rewards local intelligence: knowing which blocks have seen turnover and updating, which homes have deferred maintenance that will cost you twice the inspection estimate, and how to structure an offer in a market where fifty days on market is the median and some listings sit far longer. Momentum Realty brokers live in these markets and have walked these properties; we will tell you when a home at the median price is actually a value and when it's overpriced for its condition. In a cold market like this, that honesty is the difference between a negotiated deal that pencils and an emotional purchase you'll regret. We represent your interest, not the transaction velocity.
