What 3 Price Tiers Reveal About Today's Market

One Neighborhood. Three Price Brackets. A Clear Signal

On Sunday, we covered the lifestyle side of Silver Lakes.

the community feel, curb appeal, and all the reasons people want to live there.

But this week, it’s the market talking.

With more than 40 homes currently active or coming soon, Silver Lakes is delivering one of the most active stretches of listings in the city right now.

And because it’s one of the largest communities in Pembroke Pines, what happens here tends to set the tone.

Here’s a quick recap of the week before we get to the story.

The Price Tiers Buyers are Moving On

Silver Lakes is showing its full range this week.

Here’s where the activity is — and what it tells us.

Under $700K

• Entry-point homes.

• Typically 3-bed, 2-bath with original finishes.

• Buyers at this level are budget-focused but serious.

• A home at SW 183rd Way listed at $689K saw interest within the first day.

• These buyers move fast when value and location line up.

$700K–$900K

• This is the most active slice of the market.

• Homes here usually offer cosmetic upgrades, pools, and functional layouts.

• A home at NW 179th Ave listed at $875K and was pulling showings within a week.

• Sections like Crystal Sound and Pelican Sound are seeing the most movement in this bracket.

$1M+

• This tier brings water views, oversized lots, and full renovations.

• The pool of buyers is smaller, but they’re watching.

• A listing at SW 179th Ave came on at $1.2M and is holding interest a week in.

• Price matters, but so does presentation.

• The top of the market still expects turnkey.

A local agent summed it up: “There’s no one market right now. There are three — and sellers need to know which one they’re in.”

What This Means

Inventory is rising, especially in the mid-tier.

That’s great for buyers — more choices, more leverage.

For sellers, it means the old playbook won’t cut it.

With similar homes stacked side by side, the best-priced and best-presented listings are the ones getting picked off first.

Expect more of this activity into July, especially from homeowners looking to sell and close before the school year starts.

Final Thought:

Silver Lakes doesn’t just reflect the market, it helps shape it.

With 40+ homes across every price tier, the neighborhood is giving us a full read on what’s working and what’s not.

If you’re buying, this is your moment to move with intention.

If you’re selling, the window’s open but the competition’s already here.

Stay Safe,

Mike
