Provide specific details and content: Trends from the Top 25 Sales Modern Homes Outperform
Several homes built after 2015 achieved the highest prices per square foot. New constructions at 301 NE 21st Street and 208 NE 23rd Street—both built in 2025—ranked #1 and #3 respectively, signaling strong demand for move-in-ready, luxury modern homes.
Lot Size Still Matters
Properties with larger lots—especially in Middle River Estates and Coral Gardens—commanded premium prices. The #2 sale, for example, sat on over half an acre (22,679 sq ft).
Waterfront Boosts Value
Nearly half of the top 25 homes included waterfront access, significantly increasing their resale value. Homes in Middle River Manor, Letarte, and Coral Gardens with boat-friendly canals saw strong competition and fast closings.

What This Means for Buyers & Sellers
Sellers: If your property has modern finishes, large outdoor space, or waterfront access, the Wilton Manors market is primed for a premium. Inventory remains competitive, and new builds are setting the bar for pricing.
Buyers: While prices are high, there are still opportunities—especially for properties built pre-2000 that offer value-add potential. Working with a local real estate expert is crucial in securing a competitive edge.
Looking Ahead
With several new developments in the pipeline and increasing demand from out-of-state buyers (especially from New York, California, and the Midwest), Wilton Manors is poised to remain a luxury micro-market in Broward County. Expect price points to remain stable, with continued appreciation for updated and waterfront properties.
