Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Market — February 2026

The February 2026 Fort Lauderdale real estate market shows contrasting trends between single-family homes and condos/townhomes, driven by declining inventory, shifting buyer behavior, and price stabilization.

Single-Family Homes

Inventory continues tightening, with new listings down 37.5% year-over-year (288 vs. 461). Despite fewer homes available, closed sales increased 5.7%, signaling strong buyer demand. Prices remained relatively stable:

Median sold price: $722,500 (↓1.7%)
Average sold price: $1.46M (↑2.87%)
Median days on market: 51 (↓13.6%)

Sellers maintain an advantage in the mid‑to‑high‑end market, with a 94.9% list-to-sold ratio.

Condo / Townhome Market

The condo market also experienced a sharp decline in new listings (down 36.9%), but sales jumped 11.1% year-over-year, creating upward pressure in certain sub‑markets. Price activity was mixed:

Median sold price: $477,687 (↓14.7%)
Average sold price: $710,758 (↓6.3%)
Days on market: 87 (↑31.8%)

While buyers have more negotiation power due to increasing DOM, the overall reduction in new listings indicates demand remains solid.

Market Snapshot

Across both segments, reduced inventory and consistent buyer activity are creating a competitive landscape, especially for well‑priced, turnkey properties. Luxury and waterfront listings in Fort Lauderdale continue to attract strong interest.

Commonly asked questions while reviewing the reports:

What is the difference between “Median Sales Price” and “Average Sales Price”?

Median Sales Price | Price of the “”middle”” property sold -an equal number of sales were above and below this price.

Average Sales Price | Average sales price for all properties sold.

What does “Absorption Rate” mean?

Absorption Rate | Looks at the past year’s monthly supply of inventory. In a normal market there should be a 6 month supply. The higher the rate above 6 the more aggressive a seller has to be with the competition; price and having a picture perfect property.
