SE Florida Market Snapshot – January 2026
Market Trends in SE Florida
The real estate market is adjusting. With the fluctuation in property inventory, SE Florida is leaning towards a “buyer’s market”. Seller’s are now reassessing their asking price on their properties for sale. It is crucial to examine other similar homes on the market to establish an aggressive original listing price, generating multiple buyer’s attention to your property. This is also an important time to consider a decrease in asking price if the property has been on the market without active offers. I welcome any discussions you may want to have regarding your neighborhood trends. Please reach out to chat, even if you are not ready to buy or sell, but just would like to discuss current real estate updates. Here are the Market Snapshots reflecting the last month (compared to the same month last year) for the following areas:
- Fort Lauderdale
- Wilton Manors
- Hollywood
- Dania Beach
- Hallandale Beach
These take into account all property types (Single Family Homes/Condos/Townhomes).
The real estate landscape in South Florida is evolving. Making smart, timely decisions has never been more important. Whether you’re considering selling, buying, or simply staying informed, I’m here to be your local advisor and resource.
Let’s talk about current market trends and how we can align your goals with today’s opportunities. I’d be happy to provide customized market reports for Fort Lauderdale, any SE Florida city, or even your specific neighborhood—all automatically delivered to your inbox.
Call or email me anytime. I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

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.

AI & Real Estate Scams in SE Florida
AI & Real Estate Scams in Southeast Florida: What Every Buyer, Seller & Renter Should Know
As a longtime real estate agent serving SE Florida, I’ve watched our market evolve faster than almost anywhere else in the country. With rising demand, luxury growth, and a competitive rental scene, it’s no surprise that AI tools are becoming part of the real estate landscape.
But with innovation comes risk. SE Florida has become a hotspot for AI‑driven real estate scams, especially in fast‑moving markets like ours. My goal is to help you stay informed, confident, and protected.
🌴 How AI Is Helping Real Estate in Southeast Florida
Used responsibly, AI can make your real estate experience smoother and more efficient. For example:
- Pricing insights for neighborhoods like Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, and Hollywood
- AI‑powered home searches that match you with properties near beaches, schools, or transit
- Virtual staging for condos and waterfront homes
- Market trend forecasting, especially helpful in hurricane season or during rapid price shifts
These tools help me serve you better—but they also give scammers new ways to deceive.
🚨 AI Scams Growing in the Southeast Florida Market
-
Fake Rental Listings (Especially in Miami & Fort Lauderdale)
South Florida’s rental market moves fast, and scammers take advantage by creating AI‑generated listings.
Red flags:
- “Luxury” rentals in Brickell, Wynwood, or Las Olas priced far below market
- Photos that look perfect but feel slightly artificial
- A landlord who refuses to meet in person
Example:
A “$1,800/month waterfront condo in Sunny Isles” with flawless photos and a landlord who insists on a deposit before a showing.
-
AI‑Generated Photos of Homes That Don’t Exist
Scammers use AI to create homes with palm‑tree‑lined backyards, ocean views, or modern interiors that aren’t real.
What to look for:
- Warped palm trees
- Repeated clouds or reflections
- Rooms with impossible angles
-
Voice‑Cloning Scams Targeting Buyers & Sellers
AI can mimic voices—including agents, title reps, or even family members.
Common scenario:
A “title company” calls asking you to wire funds for closing.
In Southeast Florida, where cash deals are common, this scam is especially dangerous.
-
Phishing Emails Pretending to Be Local Professionals
Scammers use AI to write emails that sound like legitimate Southeast Florida agents or lenders.
Red flags:
- Requests to “update your wire instructions”
- Email addresses that look similar but not identical
- Urgent language
🔍 How to Protect Yourself in the Southeast Florida Market
✔ Confirm Listings Through Trusted Sources
Especially in high‑demand areas like Fort Lauderdale, Coral Ridge, and Palm Beach.
✔ Never Send Money Without Verifying
Call your agent or title company using a known number—not one from an email.
✔ Be Cautious With “Too Good to Be True” Rentals
If a Miami Beach condo is priced like a Lauderhill studio, something’s off.
✔ Meet in Person or Request a Live Video Tour
Legitimate landlords and agents in South Florida will never avoid this.
✔ Ask Your Agent to Verify Ownership
I can quickly confirm whether a property is real and who owns it.
🏡 My Commitment to Our Southeast Florida Community
Whether you’re buying a condo in Aventura, selling a home in Fort Lauderdale, I’m here to help you navigate the market safely. AI can be a powerful tool—but only when used responsibly and transparently.
If you ever come across a suspicious listing, message, or email, send it my way. I’m always happy to take a look and help keep our community protected.
