How do I sell a vacant house in Broward County?
Short answer: quickly, and priced to closed sales from day one, because a vacant home is a carrying cost with a clock.
For sellers

Occupancy was disclosed on 6,846 of 11,953 house sales; the table covers those. Vacant houses closed at $339 per square foot against $350 for owner-occupied, with 21.3% cash buyers. Part of that gap is condition, part is the read a buyer takes from an empty room, and part is a seller who has already left and is paying two sets of bills.

Occupancy was disclosed on 6,161 of 10,784 condominium sales. Vacant condominiums are more common than vacant houses (30.9% of active condominium listings today) and carry an association bill while they wait: the median monthly association fee on closed Broward County condominiums with a fee recorded was $609.
Last month against the month before
August 2026 closed 932 houses in Broward County at a median of $655,000, against 1,105 at $655,000 in July 2026. Condominiums and townhouses: 802 at $255,000 against 991 at $247,000. Median days to contract for houses moved from 31 to 38. One month is a reading, not a trend; the twelve-month table above is what we price from.
The three moves, in order
- Add up the monthly carry: mortgage, taxes, insurance, association, utilities, lawn and pool. That figure is what each extra month on the market costs before the price cut.
- Price to the closed sales that match, on day one. The vacant-house discount grows with time; the first three weeks decide most of it.
- Make it look kept, not abandoned: utilities on, climate control running, lawn cut, a light staging of the main rooms. Confirm with your insurer that the vacant home is covered.
Who else you need, and what we do not do
Your insurance agent, because coverage on an unoccupied home often changes and lapses are common; a CPA or tax professional if the home was a second home or inheritance; a Florida attorney if title is held by an estate or trust. We handle the sale side.
This page covers the real-estate side only. It is not legal, tax or insurance advice. Deadlines, notices and the treatment of debts on your title are set by the documents and by the agencies and courts involved; confirm your own dates and figures with them or with a Florida attorney before acting.

How do I sell a vacant house in Broward County: questions
Do vacant houses sell for less in Broward County?
On the median, yes. Among sales where occupancy was disclosed, vacant houses closed at $540,000 and $339 per square foot in 46 days, against $665,000 and $350 in 35 days for owner-occupied ones. Condition explains part of it; time explains the rest.
Should I furnish or stage an empty house?
Light staging of the main rooms and photographs that show scale usually pay for themselves; full furnishing rarely does. The larger lever is price set from matching closed sales in the first three weeks.
Is my insurance still valid on a vacant house?
Ask your insurer before you rely on it. Many policies treat a home unoccupied beyond a set period differently. We are not insurance advisers; we flag it because it is the most common surprise.
How long will a vacant condominium take to sell in Broward County?
Vacant condominiums where occupancy was disclosed went to contract in a median of 76 days, and the market holds 9.9 months of condominium supply. Association fees keep running; the median recorded fee was $609 a month.
I inherited the house and it is empty. Is the process different?
The sale is the same; the authority to sell is not. See <a href="/probate-real-estate-broward-county/">probate real estate in Broward County</a> for who can sign and when.

★★★★★ Rosa S. · Google review, February 2020
Gia and John from PBP Real Estate exceeded expectations in selling my mother's Delray Beach condo, which had previously failed to sell with another firm. Despite being in New York, I experienced excellent communication and responsiveness via phone, text, and email, making the remote process, including the closing, stress-free.
