Fort Lauderdale FL Homes For Sale

Fort Lauderdale FL Homes for Sale: Real Prices, Dry Lot vs Waterfront

Fort Lauderdale homes for sale: the numbers first

Fort Lauderdale homes for sale in our MLS feed sold 1,798 times in the last 12 months at a median of $687,250 (Flexmls, single-family, pulled 2026-10-02). Today 823 single-family homes are active, and the middle one is asking $1,025,000.

Read that twice. The middle asking price today is about $338,000 above the middle sale of the last year.

That doesn't mean prices jumped. It means the listings sitting on the market lean expensive, and a lot of them are waterfront. The homes priced near what's actually closing are the ones going under contract.

Every number on this page is single-family homes with a Fort Lauderdale address in Broward County. Condos and townhouses are left out.

Two markets under one city name

Here's the thing about Fort Lauderdale. It's really two markets that share a ZIP code list.

One is the dry-lot house. A yard, a garage, a commute. That's where most of the sales happen, and it's where the $460,000 to $700,000 range lives.

The other is the house on the water with a dock out back. It runs on different math, and it pulls the asking prices up for the whole city.

Ocean access homes (Flexmls, pulled 2026-10-02) Fort Lauderdale
Sold in the last 12 months 252
Median sold price about $2,550,000
Active today 174, middle asking price about $4,600,000
Lowest active asking price $435,900
Active listings marked "no fixed bridge" 127, from $699,990

If you're shopping the water, that table is your market. If you're not, ignore the headlines about Fort Lauderdale prices. They're mostly about docks.

A lot of my clients move between Palm Beach and Broward counties for work, schools and lifestyle. I help them compare the trade-offs, the neighborhood fit and the total cost of owning before they commit. In Fort Lauderdale, the total cost is where people get surprised.

What to check before you buy in Fort Lauderdale

Now let me shoot you straight. The price is the easy number. These are the ones that change the deal:

  • The insurance quote. Get it on the exact address during your inspection period. Roof age and window protection drive it more than anything else.
  • The flood zone and elevation of the lot. Two houses a few blocks apart can insure very differently.
  • On waterfront: the seawall condition, the dock, and whether there's a fixed bridge between you and open water. A "no fixed bridge" note in a listing is something to confirm, not assume. Measure your boat against it.
  • The roof, the electrical panel and the plumbing on older homes. Your lender's insurance carrier will want a four-point inspection and a wind mitigation report.
  • Permits. Ask whether additions, enclosed patios and converted garages were permitted. Unpermitted space can stall an appraisal.

None of this is a reason to walk away. It's the list to have answered before you're committed.

What $500,000 buys in Fort Lauderdale today

Our feed shows 172 active single-family homes in Fort Lauderdale under $500,000, starting at $239,990 (Flexmls, 2026-10-02). That's about one listing in five.

At that price you're usually trading something. Age, size, condition, or distance from the water. That's fine if you know which one you're trading.

Tell me which one you'd give up and which one you won't. That one conversation narrows 172 houses to the handful worth seeing.

Who Fort Lauderdale is not for

  • If you want a no-HOA house on an acre with room for a trailer and a horse, Fort Lauderdale isn't that. Western Palm Beach County is.
  • If your budget works only at the median and you need a dock, the numbers above say you'll be shopping the low end of the waterfront list. Possible, but go in with eyes open.
  • If you don't want to think about flood zones and insurance quotes, buy farther from the water and pay less for the policy.

Selling your current home too?

A lot of Fort Lauderdale buyers are selling something first. A condo they've outgrown. A house in Plantation or Davie. Sometimes a house in Palm Beach County going the other way.

The hard part is the timing. Sell first and you might rent for a month. Buy first and you're carrying two houses. The Wilder Way to Sell and Buy is how we line up both closings so you don't have to pick.
