The Miami Metro Is One Of The Most Competitive Seller Markets In Florida-Here’s Why
The spring selling season is here and in Florida, the Miami metro remains a seller’s market.
Coral Springs had the lowest supply of inventory in Broward County, according to February real estate data from the Miami Association of Realtors®.
Active inventory is down 37% compared to last year, leaving just a two-month supply of single-family homes and making it a seller’s market.
According to Realtor.com®, the median listing price in Coral Springs is $395,000.
That’s 36.2% less expensive than the median listing price in Miami proper, which is $619,500.
Since 2019, the median listing price in Coral Springs has increased by only 8.2%, from $365,154, while in Miami over the same period, the median listing price has grown by 54.9%.
“Coral Springs is a very affordable option in Miami, and with a large share of condos listed, there are many affordable options to enter the market,” he said. Joel Bernerchief economist at Realtor.com.
But price is not the only factor that creates demand. Buyers are also drawn to Coral Springs for its location and quality of life, which offers an alternative to busy, more expensive coastal markets.
“Coral Springs is a hidden gem of a town near the Everglades in the Ft. Lauderdale area. You’re inland, but more affordable than the coast,” Dear Ameerreal estate agent with Coldwell Banker in Florida, tells Realtor.com. “Of course, for wildlife lovers, proximity to the Everglades is a big draw—along with attractions like the Sawgrass Nature Center and the Everglades Conservation Levee Greenway Trail.”
Ameer notes that the Everglades act as a built-in buffer zone, helping to protect the area from the urban sprawl common in other parts of Florida. “And it’s less than an hour from Miami,” he said, “so you have the opportunity to go downtown without having to live there and deal with the traffic.”
Florida real estate agent Jeff LichtensteinThe CEO of Echo Fine Properties, tells Realtor.com that Coral Springs has fewer snowbirds than other Florida cities, since it’s farther from the water—but its real estate market remains strong.
Single-family home sales in Coral Springs increased nearly 4% year-over-year in February 2026, reaching 54 closed transactions. The median sales price was $690,000—above the statewide average of $620,000.
Condo activity was very modest, with 22 units sold during the month. The median sales price for townhouses and condos came in at $219,000—below Broward County’s overall average of $270,000.
Some Florida cities are short on inventory
Five cities in Broward County—Coconut Creek, Cooper City, Parkland, Pembroke Pines, and Plantation—each have just three months’ worth of single-family housing.
All five are family-oriented urban communities in what locals call “West Broward,” a region known for its new housing, well-planned neighborhoods, and top-rated schools.
Median sales prices for those cities in February were $655,000 (Coconut Creek); $837,000 (Cooper City); $1,350,000 (Parkland); $663,000 (Pembroke Pines); and $725,000 (For Investments).
Lichtenstein says inventory is limited in this area because it’s built out so much, and there’s little new land available, limiting supply. “People who work in Miami or Ft. Lauderdale can live there in the suburbs and commute to the city,” he tells Realtor.com.
Florida city with the most homes for sale
The city with the most property in Broward County is Southwest Ranches, which has 10 months of inventory.
The median sales price for Southwest Ranches in February was $2,338,000.
Known as the “Palm Beach of Broward County,” Southwest Ranches is said to be home to many athletes and celebrities. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Gisele Bündchen, Tyreek Hill, Mark Wahlbergagain Mike Tyson.
Joe Vairo of The Vairo Group at exp Realty in Fort Lauderdale tells Realtor.com, “Southwest Ranches has always been one of the most special areas in Broward County and the greater Fort Lauderdale area—especially for those who value privacy while seeking larger homes and more land while being close to all the action.”
Southwest Ranches has more inventory, Vairo says, mainly because its homes tend to be larger and more expensive than those in surrounding areas. “There is a smaller pool of buyers because of the price increase,” he said. “What’s most important to Southwest Ranches is the privacy, uniqueness, and grandeur of the grounds and land.”
