Zillow Says 60 Days on Market Is the New Normal. But Not in Pembroke Pines / Miramar  

-

 

If you’ve read the latest housing headlines, you’ve probably seen some conflicting takes.

And when you zoom out, it makes sense as to why: A new Zillow report found that, in half of the country’s largest metros, home values rose over the past year. In the other half, they fell. 

So today, we’re breaking down what’s happening nationally, and more importantly, how it compares to what we’re seeing here in Pembroke Pines / Miramar zip code 33027.

National Market Trends

At the national level, home values have barely moved, rising just 0.2% over the past year. 

  • Home values rose in 25 major markets, mostly in the Midwest and Northeast. Cleveland (+4.7%) and Hartford (+4.5%) led the pack.

  • Home values fell in 25 markets, especially in the South and West. Tampa (-6.2%), Austin (-6%), and Miami (-4.6%) saw the steepest declines.

Aside from home prices, here’s what’s happening across the country:

  • Sellers cut prices on 27.4% of listings, the highest rate since tracking began in 2018.

  • Homes are lingering on the market longer, with a median 60 days on market, the slowest July in over a decade.

  • Mortgage costs are down slightly, about $19 per month compared to last year, but still nearly $1,000 higher than before the pandemic. 

That means affordability remains a challenge, even in markets where buyers have the upper hand.

What’s Happening in Pembroke Pines / Miramar 

National trends don’t always tell the full story. Here in Pembroke Pines / Miramar zip code 33027:

  • Median home price: -6.2%.

  • Price cuts:  Pembroke Pines / Miramar on par with the nation—about 27% of listings are reducing prices, a sign of a market shifting slightly in favor of buyers.

  • Days on market: Homes here are selling in 80 days on average, compared to the national 60-day median.


What It Means for Buyers

Nationally, buyers are seeing more homes sit longer and more price cuts. In Pembroke Pines / Miramar, a sign of a market shifting in favor of buyers..

If you’re looking to buy, here’s my advice:

  • Watch for price reductions. It’s a sign sellers are willing to negotiate.

  • Get pre-approved so you’re ready to act when the right home hits the market.

  • Don’t assume headlines about “falling prices” apply here. Check the local stats.

What It Means for Sellers

The national data is clear: Homes that are overpriced are sitting. Homes that are priced right are still selling.

If you’re thinking of selling, remember:

  • Pricing competitively from the start is more important than ever.

  • Buyers are savvy, with plenty of data at their fingertips.

  • Making your home shine online with great photos, 3D tours, or floor plans can help you stand out.

The Bottom Line

Kara Ng, a senior economist at Zillow, summed it up best: “Perhaps more than ever, whether it’s a good time to buy depends on where you live.”

The housing market is split nationally, but what really matters is what’s happening locally. If you’re thinking of buying or selling in Pembroke Pines / Miramar, the numbers show that strategy matters more than ever. 

Pricing, timing, and presentation will determine who wins in this market.

  Imagine this: You walk through the front door after work. Your dad is teaching your daughter how to make his famous pasta sauce in the kitchen. Your mom is watering plants on the patio. Upstairs, your brother’s finishing up a Zoom call from his home office. Sound a little chaotic? Maybe. But for millions of families across the U.S., multiple generations living together is becoming the new normal. And surprisingly, they love it. According to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices , backed by Warren Buffett’s legendary market foresight, multigenerational living is poised to become the next big housing trend.  Let’s dive in.  Why More Families Are Living Together in 2025 In 2010, 5.1 million U.S. households were considered multigenerational. By 2020, that number had jumped to 6 million. Today, more than 59 million Americans live in homes shared by multiple adult generations, a number that continues to rise. So, why are so many people turning to multigenerational living? Several f...

  Right now, American homeowners are sitting on a record $11.5 trillion in tappable equity.  That’s equity you could access without selling your home, while keeping at least a 20% cushion in place.

Can you believe we’re already halfway through 2025? As we head into the second half of the year, a lot of buyers and sellers are asking the same thing: What’s next for the housing market? While no forecast is guaranteed, economists from Fannie Mae, Zillow, NAR, MBA, and others have released updated projections on everything from home prices and mortgage rates to sales activity and market recovery. In this post, I’ve rounded up the key takeaways from their mid-year outlooks—and added a breakdown of what they could mean for our local market here in SW Broward County .
