What Does $900K Buy in Davie Florida? (2026 Guide)

What does $900,000 buy in Davie, Florida in 2026?

Davie is one of the few South Florida markets where $900,000 can mean three completely different homes. You can buy brand new with resort amenities. You can buy a renovated pool home with a private backyard. Or you can buy land with the right to keep a horse. The home you get depends on which trade you are willing to make: square footage, lot size, or finish level.

The current market gives you room to choose. As of mid 2026, the median price per square foot in Davie runs in the roughly $295 to $328 range depending on the data source, with year over year movement that has held close to flat across 2026. Homes are taking longer to sell than they did a year ago, with recent monthly data putting time on market near 100 days, and active inventory has climbed past 250 listings. The slower pace and higher inventory favor buyers and leave real room to negotiate at this price. You can read the full picture in the Davie real estate market report for 2026, and you can track the underlying numbers on the Davie market data page.

What $900K buys in new construction

If new construction is the priority, $900,000 puts you inside one of Davie’s active builder communities, though it no longer reaches every one of them.

In The Vineyards, pricing runs from about $700,000 to over $1 million. At $900,000 you land in the middle of the community, which means a four bedroom home in the 2,800 to 3,400 square foot range on a lot between 7,500 and 10,000 square feet. The trade is a larger footprint and more land in exchange for not buying the best house on the street.

One builder community to set aside at this budget is Marigold by Pulte. New homes there currently start around $1.3 million and run to roughly $1.8 million, with floor plans from about 2,400 to 3,700 square feet, so a $900,000 budget does not reach it. If you want a sense of where every Davie builder community sits today, the new construction homes in Davie guide breaks down current pricing by builder.

New construction carries its own cost considerations beyond the sticker price, from upgrade selections to closing timelines. If you are weighing builder incentives against a resale home, the buying a home in Davie guide walks through how to compare them honestly.

What $900K buys in established gated communities

Resale is where $900,000 often buys the most house, because you are paying for a home someone else already built and upgraded.

In Forest Ridge (33324), prices range from the $500,000s to slightly over $1 million, with a 12 month median around the low $700,000s. The $850,000 to $950,000 band is the sweet spot for a four bedroom pool home with mature landscaping and an established lot. In Ivanhoe (33324), a fully renovated four bedroom, three and a half bath home in the high $800,000s is the kind of turnkey resale a $900,000 budget reaches.

In Hawkes Bluff (33330), $900,000 buys at the top of the community. These are pool homes, often with heated saltwater pools, open floor plans, granite and stainless finishes, and larger corner lots. In Shenandoah (33325), where the median sits around $639,000, $900,000 buys the largest and most upgraded homes in the neighborhood rather than an average one.

One community to set aside: Stonebrook Estates runs from roughly $2.3 million to $4.5 million. A $900,000 budget does not reach it, so do not anchor your expectations there. For a wider view of the gated options at and around this price, see the Davie gated communities guide.

What $900K buys in acreage and equestrian property

This is where Davie separates itself from the rest of Broward County. Davie is zoned Rural by Design, which means one street can be standard suburban lots and the next can be acreage with equestrian rights. The Town of Davie maintains an extensive bridle trail network, and horses are permitted in the right zoning districts.

At $900,000, you are at the entry point of the acreage market. In and around Flamingo Ranch Estates in West Davie (33325 and 33330), homes on roughly one acre or more span a wide range, with newer custom builds running well over $1 million and older parcels reaching down toward this budget. At the floor you are buying land and equestrian zoning more than square footage or new finishes. The home may be older or need updating, but you get something most of Broward cannot offer: room, privacy, and the right to keep horses.

If acreage is the goal, that trade is the whole point. You give up the new kitchen and the community pool to get a full acre with no HOA telling you what to do with it. The Davie homes on acreage guide covers zoning, well and septic, and what to verify before you write an offer on a parcel.

What are the taxes and carrying costs on a $900K Davie home?

Plan for property taxes in the range of roughly $9,000 to $12,500 per year on a $900,000 home before any homestead exemption. Effective rates in Davie generally run between about 1.0 and 1.4 percent depending on the parcel’s location and the combined millage that applies to it. Broward County sets assessed values through the Property Appraiser, and you can confirm the current millage rate and look up any parcel’s assessment and tax history at bcpa.net. If the home becomes your primary residence, the homestead exemption and the Save Our Homes assessment cap reduce both your taxable value and how fast it can rise each year. The Florida Department of Revenue explains how these protections work statewide.

Beyond taxes, budget for homeowners insurance, flood insurance where the parcel sits in a mapped flood zone, and any HOA dues in gated communities. Acreage homes usually carry no HOA but add well and septic maintenance. For a full breakdown of what it costs to own here, see the Davie cost of living guide.

How hard is it to win at $900K right now?

With inventory higher and homes sitting longer than they did a couple of years ago, the $900,000 buyer has negotiating room that did not exist before. Sellers at this price are more willing to talk on price, closing costs, and repairs. That does not mean every home is negotiable. A renovated turnkey pool home in a sought after gated community can still move quickly, while an older acreage property may sit for months.

The right offer depends on how long the specific home has been listed, how it is priced against recent sales in that community, and what the seller’s situation is. How you structure that offer matters more than the headline number. The Davie buyer representation guide explains how buyer agency and offer strategy work in this market.

Frequently asked questions

Can you buy a pool home in Davie for $900,000?

Yes. At $900,000 you can buy a renovated four bedroom pool home in established gated communities like Forest Ridge (33324) or Hawkes Bluff (33330), often with a heated saltwater pool and a larger lot. New construction communities also reach pool homes at the top of their price range.

Can you buy acreage or a horse property in Davie for $900,000?

Yes, at the entry point. In and around Flamingo Ranch Estates in West Davie (33325 and 33330), older acreage parcels of roughly one acre or more with equestrian zoning can reach down toward $900,000, while newer custom builds run well above it. At this floor you are buying land and zoning rights more than new finishes or large square footage.

Is $900,000 enough for new construction in Davie?

Yes, in some communities. In The Vineyards, $900,000 buys a mid range four bedroom home on a larger lot, typically 2,800 to 3,400 square feet with community amenities. It does not stretch to every builder community, though. Marigold by Pulte, for example, currently starts around $1.3 million.

How much are property taxes on a $900,000 home in Davie?

Expect roughly $9,000 to $12,500 per year before homestead, with effective rates in Davie generally running between about 1.0 and 1.4 percent depending on the parcel and the millage that applies. Applying the homestead exemption as a primary resident lowers taxable value and caps annual increases through Save Our Homes. Confirm any parcel’s assessment and the current millage at bcpa.net.

Is now a good time to buy at $900,000 in Davie?

With inventory higher and homes taking longer to sell than a year ago, buyers have negotiating room on price and terms. Whether a specific home is negotiable depends on its days on market, pricing, and the seller’s situation.
