Broward County, Florida

It depends on the version you want — beach walkability in Lauderdale By The Sea, nightlife in Wilton Manors, or quiet family streets inland in Cooper City and Parkland. With everything from ocean access to gated golf communities inside one county, most buyers can find their fit without leaving Broward.

The median list price is $415,000 and the median sold price over the last year was $472,500, but the range is enormous — active listings run from about $105,000 up to nearly $4 million. Condos and townhomes keep the entry point accessible, so you can browse by price to find what fits your budget.

Expect around $327 per square foot on average, with a median home size near 1,275 square feet. Waterfront and $1M+ listings sit at the top of the market, while homes with a pool and inland condos fill out the middle and lower tiers.

It's balanced and steady — 146 homes sold in the past 12 months, the median listing takes about 39 days to go under contract, and sellers are getting roughly 98% of their asking price. That means well-priced homes move, but there's still room to negotiate on the right listing.

The median HOA runs about $471 per month, which reflects the county's large share of condo and gated communities with shared amenities. Median property taxes come in around $4,736 per year, and for renters the median rent is roughly $2,250 per month.
