July 2026 Market Report 📊

The July numbers continue to show a buyer-friendly market, with plenty of inventory and more negotiating power for buyers.

For sellers, this means pricing correctly from day one is more important than ever. Buyers have options, and homes that are overpriced can sit while well-positioned properties attract attention.

The takeaway? It is not the same market it was a few years ago. There is opportunity, but knowing where to look, how to negotiate, and what a property is really worth matters.

📍 Want to know what these numbers mean specifically for Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, or your neighborhood? Send me a message and I’ll break down your local market.

PENDING in Sunrise!
11951 NW 35th Street
3 BD | 2 BD | Pool | 1,667 SF

I love working with first-time buyers. It’s easily the most rewarding part of what I do because it represents the true American Dream, and in today’s world, it’s no small feat.

We spent countless weekends touring properties, and the moment we walked into this one, I knew it was “the one”. They knew it too, but of course, there was already an offer on the table (just look at that view).

I told them not to be discouraged, this is where I step in. And I’m excited to say we were able to secure the home.

Now we’re set to close next week, and I couldn’t be more grateful they trusted me through the process. It’s all going to come full circle when I hand them the keys.

A developer is suing the city of Hollywood after plans for a 17-story beachfront tower were blocked, even though 40% of the units would qualify as affordable housing under Florida’s Live Local Act. Now, a new bill—House Bill 1389—is adding fuel to the fire. The legislation expands Live Local by allowing development on government-owned land, aiming to speed up affordable housing across the state.

Here’s where it gets interesting: the developer argues they should be allowed to match the height of nearby buildings—including the Margaritaville resort, which sits on city-owned land and is actually slightly taller than the proposed tower. But the city of Hollywood disagrees, saying that rule doesn’t apply here—and that the new bill is irrelevant because this project is on private land.

At the center of this case is a bigger question: how far does the Live Local Act really go when it comes to overriding local zoning rules? A court decision is expected soon—and it could set a major precedent for future development across Florida.
