Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Oceanfront Condos

 - August 2026

Market Segment: Oceanfront Condos "On The Sand" in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Executive Summary:

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea oceanfront condos currently show a slight seller advantage, with 71 active listings, 8.4 months of supply, and a Market Index of 61. Over the trailing six months, sales declined 21.1% year over year, while the median sale price fell 7.8% to $560,000 and price per square foot declined 3.9% to $446. Despite softer pricing, homes are selling faster, with median days on market improving from 71 to 53 days while sellers continue to achieve 95% of list price. Longer term, values remain substantially above pre-pandemic levels, suggesting the market is adjusting from its recent highs rather than experiencing a broad loss of value.

Because this is a smaller market with fewer sales, short-term changes in the data can appear more dramatic and may not reflect broader market trends.

Local Inventory Analysis

The Inventory Table shows Active Listings, Median List Price, High List Price and Low List Price at the end of the most recent report month.

Sales per Month: The average number of sales per month based on total sales over the past 12 months.

Months of Supply: The number of months it would take to absorb the current active inventory based on the average monthly sales pace. NOTE: Waterfront markets tend to carry more inventory. Note: The normal benchmark for Months of Supply varies by market, and waterfront markets tend to carry more inventory on average.

The Market Index is calculated using a proprietary algorithm based on Month’s of Supply, Days on Market, Sale Price/List Price Ratio and change in Closed Sales Volume. A lower index indicates a Buyer’s Market and a higher index indicates a Seller’s Market.

Trailing 6-Month Analysis

The Trailing 6 Month Analysis is a rolling view of market activity based on the most recent six months of data. Instead of analyzing just one month, this approach combines the latest six months to smooth out short-term fluctuations. This is especially useful in smaller local markets, where low monthly sales volume can distort one-month results. By analyzing the most recent six months together, it reduces volatility and offers a clearer view of underlying market conditions.

Affect on Seasonality: The Trailing 6 Month Table lists 6 metrics pulled from 6 months of sales data, and compares those metrics to the same period of time last year. Comparing the latest six months to the same period last year helps reduce seasonality by measuring performance against the same seasonal window.

Median Sale Price & Sales Volume: 10 Year Trends

The 10-Year Trend Table shows Median Sale Price, Median Dollar per Square Foot ($/SqFt) and Units Sold over the past 10 years. The table also includes year over year changes (% Δ) to Median Sale Price and $/SqFt.

The 10-Year Trend Chart visually demonstrates the change in Median $/SqFt compared to Total Units Sold per year. Median $/SqFt provides a more stable measure of pricing change, especially in smaller local markets where median figures can be heavily influenced by the size, quality, or price range of properties sold in a given period.
