Broward County Waterfront Market: Best Time to Build | East Coast Builders

The Broward County waterfront real estate market is entering a new phase, and recent data is pointing to an opportunity that buyers shouldn’t overlook. Months of supply for waterfront single-family homes in Broward County has shifted from about 11 months down to roughly 10 months this year. While this still reflects a buyer-leaning market, the downward trend signals strengthening demand and improving market activity.

For those considering building a new custom home on the water, this is an advantageous moment. Land prices across Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point, Dania Beach, and the Las Olas waterfront remain more negotiable than in previous years, giving buyers more flexibility when securing premium lots. As inventory gradually tightens, today's land values present a rare window for long-term upside.
