The spring selling season is here and in Florida, a Miami metro is remaining 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 dropped 37% compared with a year ago, 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 is 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 risen by only 8.2%, from $365,154, while in Miami over the same period, the median listing price grew by 54.9%.
“Coral Springs is a much more affordable alternative to Miami, and with a high share of condos listed, there are plenty of low-cost options to get into the market,” says Joel Berner, senior economist at Realtor.com.
But price isn’t the only factor shaping demand. Buyers are also drawn to Coral Springs for its location and quality of life, which offer a distinct alternative to the busier, more expensive coastal markets.
“Coral Springs is a hidden gem of a city near the Everglades in the Ft. Lauderdale area. You are a bit more inland, but it’s more affordable than at the coast,” Cara Ameer, real estate agent with Coldwell Banker in Florida, tells Realtor.com. “Of course, for wildlife enthusiasts, proximity to the Everglades is a major draw—along with attractions like the Sawgrass Nature Center and the Everglades Conservation Levee Greenway Trail.”
Ameer notes that the Everglades serve as a built-in buffer, helping protect the area from the suburban sprawl common in other parts of Florida. “It’s also less than an hour from Miami,” she says, “so you have the convenience to the city without having to live there and deal with a lot of congestion and traffic.”
Florida real estate broker Jeff Lichtenstein, CEO of Echo Fine Properties, tells Realtor.com that Coral Springs has fewer snowbirds than other Florida cities, since it’s farther away from the water—but its housing market remains strong.
Single-family-home sales in Coral Springs climbed approximately 4% year over year in February 2026, reaching 54 closed transactions. The median sales price was $690,000—well above the countywide median of $620,000.
Condo activity was more modest, with 22 units sold during the month. The median sales price for townhomes and condos came in at $219,000—well below Broward County’s overall median of $270,000.
Other Florida cities short on inventory
Five cities in Broward County—Coconut Creek, Cooper City, Parkland, Pembroke Pines, and Plantation—each have just a three-month supply of single-family homes.
All five are family-oriented suburban communities in what locals refer to as “West Broward,” a region known for its newer housing stock, master-planned neighborhoods, and highly rated schools.
The 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 (Plantation).
Lichtenstein says inventory is limited in this area because it’s more built out, and there’s less new land available, which limits supply. “People who work in Miami or Ft. Lauderdale can live there in the suburbs and commute into the city,” he tells Realtor.com.
Florida city with the most homes for sale
The city with the most inventory in Broward County is Southwest Ranches, with 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 such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Gisele Bündchen, Tyreek Hill, Mark Wahlberg, and Mike Tyson.
Joe Vairo of the The Vairo Group at exp Realty in Fort Lauderdale tells Realtor.com, “Southwest Ranches has always been one of the most exclusive areas in Broward County and the greater Fort Lauderdale area—especially for those who value privacy while wanting larger homes and more land while still being close to all the action.”
Southwest Ranches has more inventory, Vairo says, largely because its homes tend to be significantly larger and more expensive than those in surrounding areas. “There is a smaller buyer pool due to the higher price point,” he says. “The big draw to Southwest Ranches is the privacy, exclusivity, and size of the estates and land.”
