Real estate, Southwest Ranches

Inventory is down sharply and sales are up. That's the short version of what happened in Southwest Ranches for the three months ending August 31, 2026. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 451 homes for sale across the area, down 26.5% from the same period a year before. At the same time, 317 homes sold, up 9.7%. If you're selling, less competition is a real advantage. If you're buying, fewer choices means you need to move with more preparation.

Broward County is part of a broader trend. Miami Realtors reported that Broward $1M and up single-family home sales rose 2% year over year, from 176 to 180. That's a modest gain, but it confirms that upper-end buyers are still closing deals even as mortgage rates climbed. Miami Realtors also reported rates rose to 7.46% as of mid-October 2026. Higher rates slow some buyers, but the sales numbers here show demand held.

What each ZIP code is doing

The story is not the same on every street. Each ZIP code has its own pace, price, and direction. Here's what the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted for the three months ending August 31, 2026.

ZIP 33330: the highest prices, the biggest inventory drop

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 44 homes sold in ZIP 33330, up 37.5% from a year before. That's the strongest sales gain of any ZIP in this report. The median sale price was $1,350,000, up 3.1%. Inventory fell hard: only 51 homes were for sale, down 48%. Months of supply dropped to 3.6. Homes are taking longer to sell though. The median was 85 days, which is 22 days longer than the same period a year ago. Sellers are getting more of their ask: the average sale-to-list ratio was 94.8%, up 0.8 points. Nearly 3 in 10 homes, 29.2%, went under contract within two weeks of listing, up 22.7 points year over year.

ZIP 33331: sales up, prices nearly flat

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 73 homes sold in ZIP 33331, up 28.1%. The median sale price was $895,000, up just 0.6%. That's a small gain. Inventory fell 17.6% to 108 homes. Months of supply came down 2.5 months to 4.5. The median days on market was 64, three days shorter than last year. The sale-to-list ratio was 96.2%, up 1.3 points. Pending sales were 70, up 14.8%. About 22.9% of homes went under contract within two weeks, up 9.8 points.

ZIP 33029: fastest pace, prices rising

ZIP 33029 had the most sales: the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 126 homes sold, up 9.6%. The median sale price was $782,500, up 9.4%, the strongest price gain in the area. Inventory fell 25.1% to 170 homes. Days on market came down 10 days to 62, the quickest of any ZIP here. The sale-to-list ratio was 97.6%, up 0.6 points. About 9.5% of homes sold above list price. Pending sales were 128, though that's down 5.2% from last year. Nearly 22% of homes, 21.9%, went under contract within two weeks, up 10.8 points.

ZIP 33325: the one ZIP where sales fell

ZIP 33325 is the outlier. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 74 homes sold, down 12.9% from a year before. The median sale price was $705,000, up 6.8%. Inventory fell 22.8% to 122 homes, and new listings dropped 20% to 100. Months of supply is 5.1, the highest of any ZIP here and down only 0.6 months from last year. Days on market was 66, four days shorter. The sale-to-list ratio was 96.2%, down a hair, 0.1 points. Fewer sales with rising prices can mean sellers are holding firm. It can also mean the right buyers haven't arrived yet.

The rate backdrop

Miami Realtors reported that mortgage rates rose to 7.46% as of October 16, 2026. That's the highest since early 2025, according to Realtor.com, which noted rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025. Nationally, Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings took a price cut in September 2026, the highest share since October 2022. Southwest Ranches is not immune to rate pressure. But the sales numbers here held up, which says buyers who can act are still acting.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026, and 0.3% from June to July on a seasonally adjusted basis. Southwest Ranches price gains in most ZIPs outpaced that national figure.
