Strategic Moves in a Balanced Market

In Pembroke Pines this week, the numbers show momentum — but not a rush.

With steady inventory and a solid number of homes going under contract, both buyers and sellers are playing it smart, not fast.

Market Snapshot

• New Homes Listed in last 7 days: 70

• New Homes Under Contract in last 7 days: 38

• Median Days on Market: 37

• Median Price: $439,500

💡 Pro Tip:

Don’t let a “normal” pace fool you — well-prepared buyers and savvy sellers are still getting deals done.

Sellers: Presentation and pricing still matter more than ever.

Buyers: If you’ve done your homework, be ready to move when the right listing hits.

👉 Why it matters:

The gap between listings and contracts shows a steady flow of demand, with a slight edge in inventory.

Buyers aren’t rushing, but they are buying.

That creates opportunity — if you’re ready with the right strategy.

A clear budget keeps you competitive and protects you from surprises.
