Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Market Summary – December 2025

 

December 2025 | Single‑Family Homes & Condos/Townhomes

Overall Market Conditions

  • The Fort Lauderdale market shows slower activity, higher prices, and longer selling times, especially for single‑family homes.
  • Inventory remains elevated, meaning buyers have more choices and sellers face more competition.

Single‑Family Homes

Key Trends

  • Prices are up sharply year‑over‑year
    • Median Sold Price: $779,500 (+34% vs. Dec 2024)
    • Year‑to‑Date Median Sold Price: $640,000 (+9.4%)
  • Fewer homes are selling
    • December sales: 154 homes (+7.7% vs. last year)
    • Year‑to‑date sales: down nearly 10%
  • Homes are taking longer to sell
    • Median Days on Market: 48 days (up from 40)
    • Average Days on Market (YTD): 84 days
  • Sellers are close to asking price
    • List‑to‑Sold Price Ratio: 95.3%

What It Means

  • Strong pricing favors sellers, but longer market times mean homes must be priced competitively and show well.
  • Buyers benefit from more negotiating power than in prior years.

Condo & Townhome Market

Key Trends

  • Prices are declining
    • Median Sold Price: $395,000 (–4.8% YoY)
    • YTD Median Sold Price: $410,000 (–7.9%)
  • Sales activity has slowed
    • December sales: down 17%
    • Year‑to‑date sales: slightly lower than 2024
  • Significantly longer selling times
    • Median Days on Market: 97 days (up from 64)
    • Average Days on Market: 137 days
  • More discounts are occurring
    • List‑to‑Sold Price Ratio: 94.2%

What It Means

  • The condo market is clearly buyer‑favored.
  • Pricing pressure and longer timelines suggest strategic pricing is critical for sellers.
  • Buyers may find value opportunities, especially compared to single‑family homes.

Inventory & Supply

  • The market continues to reflect higher months of supply, especially for condos.
  • A “balanced” market is typically around 6 months of supply—current levels indicate increased competition among sellers in many segments.

Bottom Line

  • Single‑family homes: Prices are strong, but the pace has slowed. Sellers must stay competitive; buyers have more leverage than in recent years.
  • Condos/townhomes: Softer prices, longer selling times, and fewer sales point to a clear buyer’s market.
  • Overall: Fort Lauderdale has moved away from the ultra‑competitive pandemic era and into a more normalized, negotiation‑friendly market.
