Wondering where South Florida's real estate market is heating up this summer?

Quick Answer: The 33330 ZIP code, encompassing Cooper City, parts of Fort Lauderdale, and Southwest Ranches, has emerged as one of the top three hottest housing markets in all of Florida for Q2 2025, thanks to soaring sale prices and rising demand despite a broader regional slowdown.

🏡 Real Estate Spotlight: Why ZIP Code 33330 Is on Fire

The 33330 area has defied broader market trends, posting a striking 28.8% jump in average sale price year-over-year. Here’s a snapshot of the Q2 data:

While prices rose, the slight dip in list prices signals sellers are adjusting expectations to meet market conditions—and buyers are responding.

📊 Market Context: Broward County Real Estate Trends

Even as 33330 surges, the rest of Broward County has experienced a cooling trend:

• Single-Family Home Sales: Down 11.1% YoY

• Median Sales Price: Flat at $625,000

• Luxury Sales ($1M+): Down 13.8%

• Inventory: Up 35%, with 5.9 months of supply

Condo and townhouse sales tell a similar story:

• Sales Volume: Down 24%

• Median Price: Down 2.5% to $275,000

• Luxury Condo Sales ($1M+): Down 27.5%

• Inventory Supply: Up to 12.5 months—a buyer's market

“With higher inventory and slower sales, today’s market rewards buyers who do their research and sellers who price smart,” said Jonathan Lickstein, President of Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors.

🌎 33330 in State and National Rankings

According to The Business Journals, ZIP code 33330 ranked No. 3 statewide, following:

1. 33613 (Tampa)

2. 32346 (Wakulla County, including Panacea)

Nationally, the market momentum points toward waterfront and luxury zones. For instance, ZIP code 03782 in Sunapee, NH, ranked No. 1 nationwide, showing a 262% price momentum jump in five years.

🛌 What's Fueling the Shift?

🌎 Buyers' Market Rising

• Nationwide, listings rose 21% quarter-over-quarter and 6% year-over-year.

• Analysts note many once-hot markets are now seeing seller hesitancy, price corrections, and inventory spikes.

🧱 Affordability Crisis Looms

• May 2025 median U.S. list price: $440,000

• Requires 44.6% of median household income to purchase—well above the traditional 30% threshold.

🏠 Construction Headwinds

Federal tariffs on materials like steel and aluminum are impacting new builds. Supply chain strategies are helping to cushion some of the blow, but demand for construction essentials like lumber and drywall is down, keeping prices in check.

📉 Final Thoughts

ZIP code 33330 may be a beacon of growth and momentum in an otherwise shifting South Florida real estate landscape. While Broward County moves toward a more balanced or buyer-favored market, this pocket of Fort Lauderdale and Cooper City is bucking the trend with strong sale prices and steady demand.
