Davie Real Estate Market Report: January 2026 vs. Broward County

How does Davie’s single-family home market compare to the rest of Broward County? In January 2026, Davie homes sold 45% faster than the county average, with a median sale price of $657,500 compared to Broward’s $620,000. While Davie commands a 6% price premium, buyers benefit from nearly 9 months of inventory, giving you more options and negotiating power than the broader Broward market.

Price Analysis: Davie Commands a Premium

Davie vs. Broward Median Prices:

MarketMedian Sold PricePrice/SqFt
Davie$657,500$324.65
Broward County$620,000
Difference+$37,500 (+6%)

Why Davie Commands Higher Prices:

  1. Larger Lots: Davie’s A-1 zoning means bigger properties than typical Broward suburbs
  2. Top Schools: Forest Ridge Elementary, Fox Trail Elementary, Western High School
  3. Equestrian Lifestyle: Unique zoning allows horses and livestock
  4. Location: Central Broward with quick access to I-595, I-75, and Florida Turnpike
  5. Limited Supply: Only 19 sales in January vs. 757 county-wide

10-Year Appreciation Context:

According to the MIAMI Association of Realtors, Broward single-family home prices have risen 118.3% from January 2016 to January 2026 (from $284,000 to $620,000). Davie has tracked similarly, making it one of the strongest appreciation markets in South Florida.

Days on Market: Davie Homes Sell Faster

This is where Davie stands out:

MetricDavieBroward County
Median DOM (Sold)26 days47 days
Average DOM (Sold)83 days88 days

Davie homes sell 45% faster than the Broward average.

Why Davie Sells Faster:

  • High Demand: Families specifically target Davie for schools and lifestyle
  • Limited Inventory: Only 169 active listings for a town of 106,000+ residents
  • Unique Product: Large lots and equestrian properties don’t exist elsewhere in Broward
  • Priced Right: The 96% sale-to-list ratio shows sellers are pricing realistically

Current Active Listings (Feb 2026):

MetricValue
Total Active169
Median List Price$1,299,900
Average List Price$1,862,614
Median DOM (Active)80 days
Average DOM (Active)114 days

The gap between sold DOM (26 days median) and active DOM (80 days median) tells us: well-priced homes sell quickly, while overpriced listings sit.

Inventory & Months of Supply: Buyer Opportunity

Understanding Months of Supply:

  • 0-4 months: Seller’s market (low inventory, high competition)
  • 5-6 months: Balanced market
  • 7+ months: Buyer’s market (more options, negotiating power)

Broward’s Luxury Market is Surging

One standout trend from the MIAMI Realtors January 2026 report:

$1M+ Sales Are Up 14% Year-Over-Year

SegmentJan 2025Jan 2026Change
$1M+ Total Sales184209+14%
$1M+ SF Sales149165+11%
$1M+ Condo Sales3544+26%

In Davie specifically: 7 of our 19 January sales (37%) were over $1M. The luxury segment is outperforming the overall market.

Why Luxury is Thriving:

  • Cash buyers: 41.6% of Broward sales are cash (vs. 27% nationally)
  • Wealth migration: New York and California buyers relocating
  • No state income tax: Florida’s tax advantage attracts high earners
  • Global demand: International buyers purchased 49% of South Florida new construction

FAQ: Davie Market Questions

Is now a good time to buy in Davie?

Yes. With 8.9 months of inventory and sellers accepting 96% of list price, buyers have leverage that didn’t exist in 2021-2022. Mortgage rates have also dropped from 7%+ to 6.10%. The spring market will bring more competition, so Q1 is an opportune window.

How does Davie compare to Weston or Plantation?

Davie offers larger lots and more land than both Weston and Plantation at comparable or lower prices. Davie’s median of $657,500 gets you significantly more property than Weston’s typical offerings. However, Weston has slightly lower crime rates and more HOA-managed communities.

Why do Davie homes sell faster than the Broward average?

Davie offers a unique product — large lots, equestrian zoning, top schools, and a “rural by design” lifestyle — that doesn’t exist elsewhere in Broward. Families specifically target Davie, creating focused demand for limited inventory.

What’s the best neighborhood in Davie for $600k-$800k?

Forest Ridge, Shenandoah, and Rolling Oaks offer the best combination of value, schools, and community feel in that price range.

Will Davie home prices drop in 2026?

Unlikely. While the market has balanced (8.9 months supply), prices remain stable due to limited land, strong schools, and continued migration to South Florida. Broward SF prices are down 3.1% year-over-year, but Davie’s premium positioning has held firm.
