Sunrise Real Estate Market Pulse
- Median Listing Price: $400,000
- Median Sold Price: $400,000
- Average Days on Market (DOM): 65 days
- Price Appreciation: 4.6 % YoY
Rising inventory is giving buyers elbow room again, and homes lingering past the 30-day mark are ripe for closing-cost credits or a quick price trim. Turnkey ranches still move first, while cosmetic-update condos test patience until savvy shoppers see the upside. View lots, pool homes, and luxury condos with concierge perks draw multiple offers regardless—so sharpening your pre-approval is key. Bottom line: prepare to negotiate, but be ready to pounce on anything that checks the “move-in ready” box.
Living in Sunrise
Saturday mornings often start at Sawgrass Mills, where residents treat bargain hunting like a competitive sport—sneakers, sushi, and 10,000 steps under one roof. Need fresh air after the retail marathon? A five-minute drive lands you at Welleby Park, where kayak launches, dog runs, and shaded playgrounds lure locals off their screens. Need more inspiration? This roundup of local outings can fill the calendar in a hurry.
Game night shifts east to FLA Live Arena, lighting up with Panthers hockey, Monster Jam, and arena-size concerts that spare you the downtown drive. Worried about airport runs? Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International sits just 20 stress-free minutes down I-595—perfect for those impulse weekend getaways.
All that convenience feeds steady demand: proximity to American Express corporate offices and the Cleveland Clinic keeps rental interest strong, and homes inside the Freebee shuttle zone earn resale premiums. In other words, lifestyle today could translate into equity tomorrow—nice trade-off, right?
