What is the average home price in Pembroke Pines FL?
+
As of 2025 and into 2026, the median sale price in Pembroke Pines ranges from approximately $476,000 to $525,000 across all property types, up approximately 6.4% year over year. Single-family homes carry a higher median — approximately $668,000 as of Q1 2026 — while condos and townhomes average closer to $260,000 to $290,000, below the Broward County condo median. Homes are averaging 77 to 86 days on market and tend to sell at approximately 3% to 7% below list price, giving buyers reasonable negotiating room.
What types of communities are available in Pembroke Pines?
+
Pembroke Pines has one of the most diverse community structures in Broward County. It includes master-planned single-family communities such as Embassy Lakes, Silver Lakes, Pembroke Falls, Sunset Lakes, and Towngate, as well as a large inventory of condos, townhomes, and gated communities. The city also has several communities qualifying under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), which permit residency restrictions for persons 55 and older. These HOPA-qualified communities operate under specific federal guidelines and buyers interested in any age-restricted community should verify current qualification status and occupancy requirements with their agent and a real estate attorney before purchasing.
Is Pembroke Pines a good place to invest in real estate?
+
Pembroke Pines offers one of the most accessible entry points to the South Florida market with strong rental demand driven by its size, employment base, and location between Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. Single-family home values have shown steady appreciation. The condo segment — which includes a significant portion of HOPA-qualified inventory — requires careful evaluation since rental and resale restrictions in age-qualified buildings affect investment yield and liquidity. Pembroke Pines was named a hot market for home and condo sales in Q1 2026 by the MIAMI Association of Realtors, with single-family home sales rising over 3% year over year. Past performance does not guarantee future results — consult your agent and financial advisor when evaluating any investment property.
How long does it take to buy a home in Pembroke Pines?
+
Homes in Pembroke Pines currently average 77 to 86 days on market. Some well-priced single-family properties receive multiple offers and move faster. Once under contract, financed purchases typically close in 30 to 45 days and cash transactions in 14 to 21 days. Condo and townhome purchases require review of HOA documents, financial statements, and reserve fund status — your agent will request these documents early in the process.
What public schools serve Pembroke Pines FL?
+
Pembroke Pines is served by Broward County Public Schools, one of the largest school districts in the United States. The city has 15 public schools and access to additional charter and private school options. Broward County schools consistently perform above Florida state averages. School assignments are determined by property address and are subject to change — always verify zoning directly with Broward County Public Schools before making a purchase decision.
What are the HOA fees in Pembroke Pines communities?
+
HOA fees in Pembroke Pines vary widely by community and property type. Single-family gated communities typically carry fees from $150 to $400 per month. Condo communities range from $300 to $700 per month depending on amenities and building size. Before making an offer on any property, your InvesTeam Realty agent will obtain HOA financials, reserve fund status, governing documents, and any pending special assessments for your review during the inspection period.
What are the closing costs for buyers in Pembroke Pines?
+
Pembroke Pines is in Broward County. Buyers typically pay 2% to 5% of the purchase price in closing costs on a financed transaction. Unlike Miami-Dade County where the buyer pays owner's title insurance, in Broward County it is customary for the seller to pay owner's title insurance — however this is negotiable and should be confirmed in your contract. Other key costs include doc stamps on the mortgage at $0.35 per $100 of loan and intangible tax at 0.20% of the loan amount.

If purchasing from a foreign seller, FIRPTA withholding requirements may apply — consult your closing agent and a qualified tax advisor.
What is FIRPTA and does it apply to Pembroke Pines transactions?
+
FIRPTA — the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act — requires buyers to withhold up to 15% of the gross sales price when purchasing U.S. real estate from a foreign seller. South Florida has a significant international seller base and FIRPTA applies to any qualifying transaction including in Broward County. Buyers have a legal obligation to withhold and remit these funds to the IRS at closing unless a valid exemption applies. Both buyers and sellers should consult a qualified tax advisor and real estate attorney before closing on any transaction involving a foreign seller.
