This Home Was Out of Reach Until This Happened

One of Pembroke Pines’ most desirable neighborhoods just got a case study in real-time market movement.

Just a few weeks ago, we featured 1930 NW 180th Way, a fully updated 4-bed home in Silver Lakes at $949,000.

Now it’s back in the spotlight for a different reason: the seller just cut the price to $899,000.

That’s not just a marketing tactic it’s a real shift in affordability that changes the conversation for buyers overnight.

When we first covered this home, we noted its mix of move-in-ready upgrades and location perks:

New roof & AC — big-ticket items already done.
Bright, open layout with a main-level guest suite.
Remodeled pool area with new finishes.
Tucked inside a quiet pocket of Silver Lakes, surrounded by walking paths and waterways, but still minutes from I-75 and major shopping.

At $949K, it was competing with other updated 4-beds in West Pines but the price point meant it was just out of reach for some buyers.

Old Price: $949,000
New Price: $899,000
Change: $50,000 drop
Monthly Payment (P&I with 5% down) @ 6.75% Interest:
- Old price: ~$5,849/month
- New price: ~$5,539/month
Buyer Savings: $310/month ($3,720/year)

That’s enough to cover a year’s worth of property insurance for many buyers or to offset higher HOA fees, fund upgrades, or keep in your pocket.

At $899K in Pembroke Pines, most homes in the search results are:

Smaller — usually under 2,100 sq ft of living space (this one has 2,419).
On smaller lots — often under 6,000 sq ft (this is nearly 7,000).
Lacking a true guest suite — secondary bedrooms are all upstairs in most other homes.
Built later but not updated — you’ll see 2000s-era builds that still need kitchen, bath, and system overhauls.
Without a pool — or with an older, unrenovated one.

This home breaks that mold by giving you:

Over 300 extra square feet of living space vs. the average in this price range.
A larger lot in a quiet Silver Lakes section surrounded by water and green space.
A rare first-floor bedroom suite.
A remodeled pool + updated mechanical systems you won’t have to budget for in the next 10–15 years.

At $899K, this home moves into a different competitive set, one where it’s bigger, better located, and more updated than most of its peers.

Price drops like this aren’t necessarily a sign of a “cold” market they’re a sign of real-time adjustments.

Even in sought after neighborhoods like Silver Lakes, sellers watch buyer feedback, interest rates, and competing listings, and they respond.

For buyers ready to act, it’s the same house they may have liked at $949K, but now it’s in a category where it easily outshines the competition.

Curious what else this price range can get you?
