As we move through the second half of 2026, the Southeast Florida real estate market continues to shift toward a more balanced environment. Across many local communities, we’re seeing inventory levels rise significantly while the number of completed sales has slowed. However, home prices remain surprisingly resilient, particularly in sought-after areas like Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors.

Key Market Highlights:

📍 Fort Lauderdale

• Average sales price increased 43% to $1.31M.
• Median list price rose 10% to $679K.
• Properties sold decreased 56% year over year.
• Inventory expanded dramatically, with 23.18 months of supply available.
• Sellers are still achieving about 94.4% of asking price.

What it means: Luxury and waterfront properties continue to support pricing, but buyers have more negotiating power than we’ve seen in recent years.

📍 Wilton Manors

• Average sales price climbed 37% to $820K.
• Median list price increased 5% to $749K.
• Sales activity declined 44%.
• Inventory grew to 14.23 months of supply, up 78%.

What it means: Demand remains strong for this unique community, but increased inventory is giving buyers more options and reducing urgency.

📍 Hollywood

• Average sales price increased 2% to $549K.
• Median list price remained stable at $499K.
• Number of homes sold dropped 71%.
• Inventory surged to 37.82 months of supply, up 200%.

What it means: While prices have held steady, buyers have a wide selection of homes available, leading to longer marketing times.

📍 Dania Beach

• Average sales price rose 20% to $439K.
• Sales-to-list price ratio improved to 97%, meaning sellers are receiving close to asking price.
• Number of sales declined 60%.
• Inventory increased to 22.5 months of supply, up 133%.

What it means: Despite slower transaction volume, well-priced homes continue to attract serious buyers.

📍 Hallandale Beach

• Median list price remained relatively unchanged at $329K.
• Sales volume dropped 84%.
• Inventory skyrocketed to 127.67 months of supply, up 513%.
• Sellers received about 91.3% of asking price.

What it means: Hallandale Beach experienced the most dramatic market shift in this group, with significantly increased inventory and fewer completed sales creating a highly competitive environment for sellers.

Overall Market Trends Across Southeast Florida

✅ Inventory is rising across nearly every market.

✅ Buyers have more choices and increased negotiating leverage.

✅ The number of homes sold has declined in all five communities.

✅ Home prices remain relatively stable or are increasing in many areas despite slower sales activity.

✅ Well-priced and well-presented homes are still attracting buyer interest and achieving strong sale-to-list price ratios.

Today’s market isn’t the frenzied seller’s market we experienced a few years ago, but it’s also far from a downturn. We’re transitioning into a more balanced market where pricing strategy, property condition, and expert guidance matter more than ever.

Whether you’re considering buying, selling, downsizing, investing, or simply curious about your home’s current value, understanding your neighborhood’s specific trends is key to making informed decisions.
