FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., October 21, 2026 - 42.3% of the 810 single-family homes listed for sale in Fort Lauderdale (343 listings) have a current asking price below their original list price, according to PBP Real Estate's analysis of BeachesMLS listing data as of October 21, 2026.

NUT GRAF
For active Fort Lauderdale houses, the median recorded CumulativeDaysOnMarket value is 87 days and the median recorded DaysOnMarket value is 75 days, each calculated from non-missing values in that field (809 and 809 listings). 12.2% of all active houses have both fields recorded and a cumulative value greater than their DaysOnMarket value; this comparison does not establish a relisting event. Of the 202 Fort Lauderdale houses under contract (Pending or Active Under Contract), 78 (38.6%) have a recorded asking price below their original list price; the median reduction among that group is 6.5%. The remainder are not recorded as below their original list price, which is not a price history. These asking-price fields do not disclose the agreed contract price. Across Broward County the shares asking below original are 44.5% for houses and 44.9% for condominiums; Fort Lauderdale houses are 2.2 points below the county share.

METHODOLOGY
Method, in plain English. What we counted: active and under-contract residential listings whose MLS City field is Fort Lauderdale, permitted for internet display in PBP Real Estate's BeachesMLS data feed, in one snapshot pulled 2026-10-21 07:12:30 UTC (data as of October 21, 2026). The kit reports counts, medians, shares and comparisons calculated from recorded MLS fields; it does not estimate any property's value. Asking below original: a listing's current ListPrice is lower than its OriginalListPrice in that snapshot. This is a comparison of two recorded prices at this snapshot, not a price history; listings not below original may be unchanged, raised or missing a price (443 unchanged, 23 above original, 1 without both prices among houses). The median reduction is the middle value among reduced listings only, in percent and in dollars separately; it is reported when at least 10 listings are reduced. Days on market: DaysOnMarket and CumulativeDaysOnMarket are reported as recorded in the MLS snapshot, each median over the listings with a value in that field; the over-90-day share and the distribution chart use listings with a recorded CumulativeDaysOnMarket value. These fields are not an independently reconstructed property history, do not verify whether or how often a property was relisted, and do not establish how any portal displays days on market. Price bands use the CURRENT asking price; shares within a band are percentages of that band's listings; bands with 10 to 29 listings are marked small and bands under 10 show a count only; a tie is declared at the reported precision. Segments follow the recorded tax legal description and the shared MLS classification rule: a listing whose legal description records a condominium is a condominium whatever its MLS subtype (townhouse, villa or single-family forms included); Condominium or Stock Cooperative subtypes stay in the condominium segment when the legal description is silent or records a parent parcel, including new-build units; Townhouse and Villa listings not classified as condominiums are reported in the HOA Fee Index and are outside both segments here; houses are the remaining SingleFamilyResidence listings. House and condominium statistics are never combined. These are analytical classifications of recorded fields, not a determination of any property's legal regime. Under contract means Pending or Active Under Contract; under-contract percentages need at least 30 such listings, otherwise counts only. Publication floor: 30 active listings in a segment; 30 to 39 is marked small. Sample sizes: 810 houses, 1,374 condominiums, 202 houses under contract. Geography is the MLS City field, not a verified municipal boundary. County comparisons use listings whose MLS record is in Broward County. Seller Blink Rate™ is PBP Real Estate's name for the share of active listings asking below their original list price; it describes recorded asking prices, not seller intent or market health. Conditions read: How the read works: the peer baseline is the median of published city shares in the same current median-asking-price tier, houses and condominiums separately. The lower-share label requires a below-original share at least 3 points under baseline and at least 65% of under-contract listings (minimum 10) not recorded as below original. That complement may include unchanged, raised or missing-price records; it is not a history measure. The higher-share label requires 3 or more points above baseline; other results are between the rule's thresholds. With fewer than four peer cities, the county is the baseline and can include the city. Samples of 30–39 active listings require caution. Snapshot comparison only, not speed, causality or a forecast.
