May 2026
Broward County Market Update
Broward County’s real estate market in May 2026 is showing clear signs of tightening inventory and steady demand, creating a more competitive environment despite only modest price growth. Sales activity is holding firm while pending contracts are rising, suggesting momentum is building as we move into the summer season.
Broward County Single-Family Homes
The single family home market continues to demonstrate resilience. Closed sales increased 3.2 percent year over year to 1,146 transactions, while the median sale price edged up to $630,000, reflecting a 0.8 percent increase. What stands out most is the sharp contraction in supply. Active inventory dropped 22 percent to just 4,560 homes, pushing the months supply of inventory down to 4.5 months from 5.9 months last year. At the same time, new listings declined 6.5 percent, limiting fresh options for buyers. Despite this, new pending sales jumped 11 percent, signaling that demand is not only stable but strengthening. This combination of rising contract activity and shrinking supply is creating more competition, particularly for well priced homes.
Broward County Townhouse and Condo Market
In the townhouse and condo segment, the market is also tightening, although conditions remain more balanced compared to single family homes. Closed sales dipped slightly by 1.5 percent, and the median price held steady at $275,000, suggesting price sensitivity among buyers in this segment. Inventory declined by 17 percent to 10,055 units, and months supply improved from 12.5 to 10.6 months, indicating gradual absorption of excess supply. New listings fell 7.2 percent, while pending sales rose 6 percent, pointing to improving demand. Compared to single family homes, this segment still offers more negotiating room, making it attractive for entry level buyers, investors, and those looking for value.
Overall, Broward County is moving toward a more balanced but still competitive market. Buyers should be prepared for limited inventory in the single family segment and act decisively when opportunities arise. Sellers are benefiting from reduced competition, particularly if their property is priced correctly. The increase in pending sales across both segments suggests that market activity is likely to remain steady in the coming months.
