Pembroke Pines made out as one of the hottest home markets in Broward toward the end of 2025, as the county’s real estate market wrapped up the year on a high note, new data shows.

Broward home sales rose for a fourth consecutive month in December, hinting that a yearslong decline in South Florida could be starting to reverse, according to the MIAMI Association of Realtors.

Residential real estate sales increased 10.6% year-over-year for single-family homes in December and 5.2% for condos and townhomes.

“Broward County and Fort Lauderdale real estate finished 2025 strong, and we expect demand to increase in 2026 because of South Florida wealth migration, lower mortgage rates and more,” Broward-MIAMI President Sophia Allen said.

On the whole, Broward County home sales were still down in 2025 from 2024, but the rate of decline is slower in South Florida than from 2022-2024, according to the firm. In 2025, single-family home sales were down 1.9%, and condo sales dipped 9.4%.

Pembroke Pines was named one of the hottest markets in Broward in the fourth quarter of 2025, based on the number of homes sold relative to the number of listings. There was only a 3.3 months supply of inventory in the city in Q4, the fourth lowest in the county.

The city has consistently posted strong figures in both home sales and sales of townhomes and condos, while some of the other comparably sized cities in Broward, such as Coral Springs and Miramar, have more lopsided markets.

In December, Pines residents sold more townhomes and condos than they did single-family homes. Sales of single-family homes compared to December of 2024 fell 31%, data shows.

“Bolstered by declining mortgage rates, Southeast Florida’s housing market finished strong in December 2025, with both single-family and condominium sales up a remarkable 14% from one year ago,” MIAMI Realtors Chief Economist Gay Cororaton said. “This momentum is likely to pick up further in 2026, leading to heightened buyer competition and higher prices as demand intensifies.”
