Official 2023 Year End Statistics Reported by Florida Realtors

Fort Lauderdale Home Prices Show Strength and Resilience

After shooting up 14.3% in 2022, following the astounding increase of 36.2% in 2021 and 18.9% in 2020 the Real Estate Market in Fort Lauderdale finally took its long-awaited breather in 2023, according to Year End statistics released by Florida Realtors, generated through compiling numbers reported through the MLS of local realtor associations throughout the Sunshine State.

Frankly we expected the market to cool off through '22, but they remained strong.

In 2023 the Median Sale Price of a Single Family Home in Broward County increased 5.5%, to $580,000 from $550,000 in 2022.

In the Condominium and Townhome market, the Median Sale Price went up 9.2% in Broward County, from $250,000 in 2022 to $273,000 in 2023.

Though not eye-popping like we have become used to, those are still pretty good numbers, showing resilience and strength given the tight market conditions, a double-digit decrease in Closed Sales and abnormally high mortgage rates.

In addition, they are also following the taxes. To be more precise, they are fleeing high taxes and not surprisingly relocating to cities and states with lower taxes.

Official 2022 Year End Statistics Reported by Florida Realtors

Fort Lauderdale Home Prices Show Appreciation of 14.3%

You Call That a "Down" Year?

Following a staggering rise of 36.2% in 2021, and 18.9% in 2020, the Real Estate Market in Fort Lauderdale was supposed to take a bit of a breather. And we suppose you could say it did. According to 2022 Year End statistics released by Florida Realtors, data generated by compiling sales reported through the MLS of local realtor associations throughout the Sunshine State, the Average Sale Price for a Single Family Home in the city of Fort Lauderdale only rose 14.3%.

Yes. ONLY 14.3%.

Which raises two interesting questions:

The first – what kind of Real Estate Market are you in when 14.3% appreciation is considered a "down" year?

The second – why is anybody investing in Real Estate anywhere else?

With mortgage rates high and inventory tight, following two years of explosive growth, you would expect Real Estate to cool off, consolidate, as people became accustomed to the new pricing reality.

Apparently, in Fort Lauderdale, that translates to 14.3%.

An even more telling stat, perhaps, is the...
