Bidding Wars Are Fading in 2025: What It Means for Fort Lauderdale Buyers & Sellers | The Listing Team

Bidding Wars Are Fading in 2025

Remember when every listing drew ten offers by Monday? That frenzy has cooled. In 2025, fewer homes are getting multiple offers, which gives buyers a bit more leverage and gives sellers a new playbook. Here’s how it plays out around Fort Lauderdale, Oakland Park, Weston, and Pembroke Pines.

Key Stat: The Share of Multiple-Offer Listings Is Down

Nationally, only about one in five homes received multiple offers in mid‑2025—far below the peak “rush” years. Translation: the market’s healthier and more balanced. Buyers can write cleaner offers without feeling forced to overbid; sellers still win with the right pricing and presentation.

It Varies by Region (Southeast ≈ Calmer)

The Southeast—which includes Broward—shows some of the lowest multiple‑offer activity. That’s encouraging for buyers coming back after sitting out the frenzy. For sellers, it means strategy matters: pricing, timing, and targeted marketing are the difference between a quick “great” offer and sitting on the market.

Buyers: How to Use This Market

  • Get fully underwritten, then shop with confidence—less pressure to waive protections.
  • Ask for meaningful terms (inspection periods, small credits, or closing flexibility).
  • Look at homes that fell out of contract—often the best opportunities.
  • Tap my on‑market + pre‑market list for Broward neighborhoods you love.
