📉 Lower Rates & More Listings: Why Right Now is a Strategic Time to Buy or Sell in Broward County

 

Mortgage Rates Hit an 11-Month Low

Good news for Broward County buyers: as of early September 2025, 30-year mortgage rates dropped to 6.35%, the lowest level in nearly a year.
This shift follows easing Treasury yields and growing expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut later this year.
👉 What this means: lower rates = lower monthly payments, more purchasing power, and an opportunity to finally make your move.


Inventory is Rising in Broward County

On the seller side, the market is shifting too. Active single-family listings in Broward are up 31.3% year-over-year as of late August 2025. More homes on the market mean buyers have more choices, more negotiating room, and more leverage.
👉 Sellers: This is not the time to overprice—today’s buyers are better informed and have options.


 

Pricing & Timing Matter More Than Ever

The median home price in Broward County is around $440,000, which is down 2.4% from last year. Homes are also taking longer to sell—about 92 days on market now, compared to 70 days a year ago.
👉 Buyers: You have more time and more room to negotiate.
👉 Sellers: Correct pricing, professional staging, and top-tier marketing are essential to stand out.


What This Means for You

  • For Buyers: Lower rates + more inventory = stronger negotiating power and better affordability.
  • For Sellers: Equity is still strong, but strategy is key—homes priced right are moving, while overpriced listings sit.
