January 2026 Broward County Real Estate Statistics

Broward County opened 2026 in steady, balanced fashion. While prices dipped slightly and closed sales were nearly flat, contract activity is holding firm and inventory remains stable. This is not a dramatic market — it’s a measured, strategic one, where preparation and pricing make all the difference.

Let’s break it down.

Market Breakdown – January 2026 vs. January 2025

Median Sale Price: $620,000
