A WEEKEND WORTH SHOWING UP FOR
Three homes to tour and three ways to get out of the house in Pembroke Pines this weekend.
If you want to feel the market instead of just read about it, this is your weekend.
We've got everything from a near $1M West Pines property to a move-in ready home under $600K plus a glow in the dark 5K and live Latin music nearby.
Let's map it out.
3 OPEN HOUSE PICKS
Saturday, February 28
17036 NW 15th St
$835,000 | 4 bed
Open: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PMThis price point usually puts you in established West Pines neighborhoods with solid lot sizes and upgraded interiors. At $835K, buyers expect condition and space. What to look for: roof age (insurance matters), kitchen updates vs. original finishes, and layout flow. A lot of late 90s homes have formal living spaces buyers don't use anymore.
Saturday, February 28
6353 SW 191st Ave
$949,999 | 4 bed
Open: 12:00 PM – 5:00 PMPushing the $1M mark. At this level in Pembroke Pines, you're typically paying for larger square footage, pool + outdoor living space, premium finishes, and prime subdivision location. Five hour open house window tells me they're expecting traffic. If you're shopping above $900K, pay attention to how it compares to Weston pricing, HOA vs. non-HOA value, and insurance cost projections.
Sunday, March 1
2257 NW 77th Ter
$589,000 | 4 bed
Open: 2:00 PM – 5:00 PMThis is the affordability pressure point right now. Under $600K single family in Pembroke Pines is competitive territory. What buyers at this price care about: roof age, electrical panel, AC condition, and insurance eligibility. Move-in ready homes here move fast. Homes needing updates? That's your negotiation opportunity.

WEEKEND WEATHER OUTLOOK

Sunday: Similar vibes. Lows around 67°F, highs reaching 77°F. Mostly sunny with clear skies. Ideal touring conditions, bring sunglasses, skip the umbrella.
Translation: Classic late February South Florida weather. Not too hot, not humid, just right for house hunting or pretending you're athletic at a 5K.
PRO TIPS FOR OPEN HOUSE VISITORS
If you're casually looking:
Don't feel pressured to sign in or share your contact info but do be polite
Ask about days on market, recent price changes, and seller motivation
Take photos (with permission) to compare homes later
Notice the little things: cabinet quality, flooring condition, natural light
If you're seriously shopping:
Bring a pre-approval letter (shows you're a real buyer)
Ask about inspection reports, recent upgrades, HOA rules
Don't be afraid to open cabinets, test faucets, or ask tough questions
Follow up within 24 hours if you're interested. Good homes move fast
If you just want to see what's out there:
That's totally fine. Open houses are public. Use them to educate yourself on current pricing, neighborhood amenities, and what your budget actually gets you.
WANT A PRIVATE SHOWING?
Open houses are convenient, but they're also crowded and rushed. If you see something interesting this weekend and want to come back for a quieter, more detailed tour, just reach out.
I can schedule private showings where you can take your time, ask questions without a line of people behind you, and really evaluate whether a home fits your needs.
Reply TOUR if you want help scheduling a private showing for any of these properties or others you've been watching.
Final reminder: Open houses are moving targets. Double check with your agent or the listing for last minute changes. And if you're headed to the events, set your alarms, especially for that Nike line dancing class. Trust me on this one.
FINAL TIP FOR THIS WEEKEND:
Tour the open houses during the day. Drive the neighborhoods at night.
You'll learn more about a community in 20 evening minutes than you will in a perfectly staged 15 minute showing. Street parking, lighting, noise levels, evening foot traffic, it all tells a story the listing photos won't.
And if you're running that 5K Saturday night? Consider it cardio training for future mortgage payments.
See you out there.
