The Fort Lauderdale page measures the whole city. This one measures the houses a $1.2-2M buyer is actually choosing between: 101 for sale today, 207 sold in the last twelve months, five years of prices in the same band, and one house read against them. Sales only, from the MLS on 3 November 2026.

95.0% Of the last asking price, paid

The median house that sold in this band had 2,349 sq ft and was built in 1962. Sellers ask about 7% more per square foot than buyers paid over the year, and buyers closed at a median 95.0% of the last asking price in 45 days: that gap, not the asking price, is what an offer is built on.

Source: MLS (Miami Realtors / Bridge), single-family houses for sale in Fort Lauderdale between $1.2M and $2M, read on 3 November 2026. Active: 101 listings. Closed: 207 sales in the twelve months to that date. Medians only, never averages. Leases excluded.

Five years, same band

## Is the band *still rising?*

| Year closed | Houses | Median paid | $/sf paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 (from Sep) | 83 | $1,500,000 | $572 |
| 2022 | 211 | $1,500,000 | $661 |
| 2023 | 187 | $1,440,000 | $637 |
| 2024 | 183 | $1,595,000 | $677 |
| 2025 | 183 | $1,500,000 | $641 |
| 2026 (to Nov) | 173 | $1,530,000 | $646 |

In this band the median price per square foot went from $572 in 2021 to $646 in 2026, +13% in all. Most of that came in the jump of 2021-2022: since 2022 it has moved -2%, essentially flat. A buyer here today is buying a market that has already repriced, so the case is the house and the price paid for it, not a rising tide.

**3.8% a year**: the median annual gain on 73 houses that sold twice in this band, held two years or more.

Source: MLS (Miami Realtors / Bridge), every single-family closing in Fort Lauderdale from 5 September 2021 to 3 November 2026, kept when the price paid was between $1.2M and $2M. Repeat sales: the same parcel sold twice, two years or more apart; 5 pairs above 30% a year were rebuilds or heavy renovations and are left out, because they measure a building site, not the market.

At resale

## The rental rule, *in one paragraph*

Fort Lauderdale licenses vacation rentals under an ordinance adopted after 1 June 2011, which Florida law (FSS 509.032(7)(b)) does not let it turn into a ban. That matters at resale: the next buyer can be a family or an investor. The parcel, any homeowners association and any recorded restriction still decide for one house, and we read them before an offer.
