How to read this
Counts and medians are computed from active MLS listings priced within 10% of $500K ($450,000–$550,000) as of October 24, 2026; property mix at this price: Single-family 50%, Condo 30%, Townhouse 17%. Cities with fewer than five listings in the band are folded out of the city table but still count in the county total. Prices are asking prices, not closings — see the county page for sale-to-list ratios. Source: live MLS feeds compiled by Momentum Research. Other budgets in Broward County: $300K, $400K, $750K, $1M.
