Fort Lauderdale's luxury market has quietly put together an impressive 2026. Five estates have closed above $13 million so far this year, topped by a $34 million trade in Harbor Beach.

How Fort Lauderdale compares to Miami

Fort Lauderdale's luxury market is real and growing, but it's still a different scale than Miami-Dade's. Lining up each market's top 5 sales side by side, rank for rank, shows the gap plainly.

$111.65M
Fort Lauderdale's top 5 sales of 2026, combined
$369.45M
Miami-Dade's top 5 sales of 2025 alone, combined
The one number that says it all: Miami-Dade's fifth-highest sale of 2025 — $40 million for a Coral Gables estate — is still bigger than Fort Lauderdale's highest sale of 2026. It's a different market, and that gap is exactly why buyers priced out of Miami's ultra-prime tier keep landing here.
