The 100% Commission Real Estate Brokerage in Sunrise.

The Sunrise market right now (mid-2026)

Sunrise has cooled from its peak into genuinely balanced territory. The citywide median sale price sits at $391,798, down 5.0% year over year (Redfin, April 2026), a figure independently confirmed at roughly $392,000 by MLS-sourced data for the same month (Orchard, April 2026). Zillow's home-value index reads softer at about $362,000 (Zillow, 2026) — the usual gap between a smoothed value index and closed-sale medians, and a fair signal that this is a flat-to-down market rather than a rising one.

The pace tells the same story. Homes are taking a median ~73 days to sell, up from 47 a year ago, at 3.8 months of supply — squarely balanced — with a sale-to-list ratio of about 93.9% (Orchard, April 2026). Roughly 66 homes closed that month, down from 103 a year earlier (Orchard, April 2026). For agents, the read is straightforward: buyers have real negotiating room, listings need sharp pricing and marketing, and the days of a home selling itself in a weekend are gone. This is a working market that rewards skill, not one that's stalled.

Single-family strength vs. the condo squeeze

The countywide picture Sunrise sits inside is sharply split by product type. In Broward, single-family homes posted a $630,000 median, up 0.8% year over year, while condos and townhomes held at a $275,000 median, essentially flat (MIAMI REALTORS + RWorld, May 2026); by June the condo/townhome median eased to about $265,000, down 1.83% year over year (MIAMI REALTORS + RWorld, June 2026). Single-family inventory tightened while condos gave buyers more choice and longer marketing periods — the same bifurcation playing out across South Florida.

That condo softness matters more in Sunrise than in most Broward cities, because a large share of the housing stock is aging condominium product — including the sprawling 55+ associations. Florida's condo-safety regime is the driver: SB 4-D (2022) and SB 154 (2023) require milestone structural inspections and fully funded reserves for buildings 30 years and older (25 near the coast), and HB 913 (2025) extended some deadlines and gave boards modest reserve-funding flexibility — but the underlying cost pressure on owners of older units remains real (Florida condo-law reporting, 2025–26). Agents who can read a reserve study, explain special-assessment risk, and price a unit against that risk are closing condo deals their competitors walk away from.

Who's buying: families, 55+, and the Sawgrass draw

Sunrise is an established family suburb, and the buyer pool reflects it: move-up families chasing single-family homes and good school access, working professionals commuting across Broward, relocation buyers pricing into a metro cheaper than the coastal cities, and a deep 55+ contingent concentrated in the Sunrise Lakes communities. Cash is a constant lever — more than half of South Florida purchases close in cash (MIAMI REALTORS chief economist, 2026) — which shapes negotiations at every price point, especially in the condo tier where financing hurdles on older buildings push buyers toward cash.

Submarket fluency is the edge here. Sawgrass, on the west side by Sawgrass Mills and Amerant Bank Arena (home of the Florida Panthers), runs to a single-family median around $479,000 and a condo median near $474,900 (Homes.com, June 2026), a mix of Mediterranean townhomes and community-pool condos. Sunrise Lakes is the affordable 55+ core, with a neighborhood median around $125,000 and units ranging roughly $52,500–$295,000 (Redfin, April 2026) — the segment most exposed to reserve and assessment questions. Welleby and Springtree are the family single-family lanes, built around lakes and golf; Sunset Strip anchors the older central corridor. Knowing which of these an inquiry belongs to — and what its HOA and insurance profile looks like — is what wins the listing.

MLS, association, and the commission math

The Broward landscape changed in 2026. On May 11, 2026, MIAMI REALTORS and RWorld (the former Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors) completed their merger, creating an association of roughly 93,000 members — the largest local REALTOR association in the country, operating under the proposed name Miami and South Florida REALTORS pending NAR approval (Florida Realtors, 2026). Members gain access to both MIAMI MLS and BeachesMLS, which together form one of the largest MLS footprints in the nation, spanning Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie (MIAMI REALTORS + RWorld, 2026). For a Sunrise agent, that means one membership reaches Broward listings and the coastal counties on either side — a natural fit for a brokerage that keeps you working across the whole region.

Now the math at Sunrise prices. An agent closing 10 sides a year at the ~$392,000 median grosses about $117,600 at 3% per side. At a 20% split, roughly $23,500 goes to the house; at 30%, about $35,300 — before any monthly fees. At Gromadzki, ten closings cost $4,990 flat, leaving $18,500–$30,000 more with the agent every year. In a 73-days-on-market market where each deal already demands more pricing work, more showings, and more negotiation, keeping what you earn per closing matters more, not less.
