Fort Lauderdale's multifamily market experienced a slowdown in Q3 2025 with asking rent growth of just 0.1% following the unsustainable surge of 2021–22, driven by a large luxury supply wave that expanded vacancy to 7.6% and increased concessions, though rents remained over 25% above early-2021 levels and 34% above the U.S. average. The market recorded 8,760 units under construction (predominantly Class A luxury), annual sales of $1.8 billion with cap rates rising to 5.6%, and strong absorption averaging over 1,000 units per quarter since late 2023, while lower-rent submarkets posted some of the strongest annual rent gains as renters shifted toward more cost-effective areas.
Fort Lauderdale's retail market in Q3 2025 exhibits tight conditions with asking rents averaging $36 per SF, vacancy at 3.9%, and annual rent growth slowed to 1.1%, supported by strong tenant demand from fitness, grocery, and entertainment users despite minimal new supply of approximately 281,000 SF under construction. Retail investment sales reached $292 million over the past year driven by grocery-anchored and neighborhood centers, with the metro's economy remaining resilient supported by a median household income of $79,795, unemployment at 3.6%, and employment 5% above pre-pandemic levels.

Industrial asking rents increased 3.2% year-over-year to $7.97 per square foot, though the document notes that double-digit vacancy and reduced construction activity may begin to ease rental prices in the near future as tenants gain more space options.
