How July home sales, prices fared in your part of Florida
July continued the upward trend for Florida real estate, with statewide home sales rising for the 11th month in a row. Single-family homes saw a 5.1% increase, while condo and townhouse sales climbed by 11%. Notably, Panama City led the way in single-family sales with a 23% jump, and The Villages experienced a remarkable 145.8% surge in condo and townhouse sales. As someone who’s spent over 25 years helping clients navigate the Fort Lauderdale and Broward County markets, I know that understanding these shifts—whether you’re buying, selling, or simply tracking the market—matters. There’s no substitute for deep local knowledge and a genuine commitment to your goals.

Florida's Proposed Property Tax Changes: What Property Owners Should Know About The 2026 Save Our Homes Proposal
There are some important changes on the horizon for Florida property owners. In 2026, voters will weigh in on a proposed amendment that could have a real impact on your bottom line. The proposal would increase the homestead exemption for non-school taxes to $250,000 by 2028, and starting January 2027, it would also lower the annual assessment cap to 5% for many non-homestead properties.

With over 25 years of experience helping clients navigate the ins and outs of Fort Lauderdale and Broward County real estate, I know how essential it is to stay ahead of changes like these. My goal is to ensure you’re always informed and prepared, so you can make the best decisions for your property. Skill, experience, and deep local knowledge make all the difference in moments like this.

Florida Housing Shows Signs of Recovery
Having spent over 25 years navigating the ups and downs of the South Florida real estate market, I’ve seen firsthand how key indicators can signal a true shift. Recently, Florida has started to show real signs of housing recovery—an encouraging development for both buyers and sellers. Inventory levels are moving lower, which typically means buyers are absorbing available properties and the market is finding its footing again. Homebuilder backlogs are rising, too, pointing to builders’ renewed confidence in demand compared to the earlier slowdown. It’s also notable that job growth is turning positive, and goods-producing employment is expected to see gains after 2025. These factors all contribute to a more optimistic outlook for our region. As always, a deep understanding of local trends and a commitment to my clients remain at the heart of my work—there’s truly no substitute for experience and local expertise, especially as the market evolves.

Florida Housing Shows Recovery Signs
As someone who has dedicated over 25 years to serving buyers and sellers throughout Fort Lauderdale and Broward County, I’m always watching the shifts in our housing landscape closely. Lately, I've noticed encouraging signs of recovery in the Florida real estate market. Inventory levels are starting to drop—a trend that typically signals stronger buyer activity and a more stable environment for both buyers and sellers. Homebuilder backlogs are rising again, which points to renewed confidence and clearer demand for new homes than we’ve seen recently. Labor trends are also turning positive, with job growth on the upswing and goods-producing employment expected to strengthen beyond 2025. These developments are important not only for our local market, but also because they could influence how central bank officials view broader economic pressures as Florida continues its recovery. My commitment remains: to offer you the insight, skill, and support you need to navigate these changes with confidence, backed by the expertise and resources of the world’s leading real estate company.

South Florida FL Market Gains Momentum
Momentum continues to build in South Florida real estate as we head into 2026, with the market shaped more by tight inventory than by a lack of interest from buyers. The current low-6% mortgage rates are helping to stabilize the environment, giving well-prepared buyers a window of opportunity to make confident decisions. In the ultra-luxury segment—homes priced above $5 million—we’re seeing approximately 488 single-family listings available and around 43 homes sold each month, while condos in this range average about 20 sales monthly. Overall, about 4,500 homes are on the market throughout South Florida, with roughly 10% listed above $5 million and another 10% priced below $500,000. This limited supply is providing solid support for property values across the region. If inventory remains tight, we can expect continued upward pressure on prices. Additionally, the upcoming property tax referendum may prompt some owners to re-evaluate their plans. Having spent over 25 years serving Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding Broward County communities, I know just how important it is to navigate these shifts with experience, skill, and a deep understanding of our local market.
