Fewer Listings Hit Pompano Beach. Sellers Still Aren't Cutting Prices to Compete.

Here's the story people tell themselves when they see new listings drop: fewer homes on the market means sellers are getting nervous, cutting prices, doing whatever it takes to get a buyer in the door before the well runs dry.

That's not what happened here.

Across the twelve weeks ending August 30, 2026, homes sold across the territory totaled 565, against 532 in the same window a year earlier. New listings across the territory came in at 220 for the period. If the myth were true, you'd expect sellers to start dropping their numbers to chase whatever demand is left.

Here's what's actually true: the median sale-to-list ratio across Pompano Beach came in at 97.6% this period. Sellers, on the whole, are getting nearly full price. That's not a market where people are desperate. That's a market where the homes that are listed are priced right and finding buyers close to ask.

The territory's median sold price tells the same story. It came in at $750,000 this period, up from $680,000 in the same window a year earlier. A tighter new-listing pipeline didn't push prices down. If anything, buyers had less to choose from and still paid up.

Zoom into individual pockets and the picture holds, with real texture underneath. In Pompano Beach (the 33076 market), the median sold price rose to $1,097,000, up from $935,000 a year earlier. In that same pocket, days on market ran 53, up from 43 days in the same window last year. The sale-to-list ratio there still held at 97.2%. Buyers are taking a bit more time to decide, and sellers still aren't giving ground on price.

There's a real split hiding inside these numbers. In Pompano Beach (the 33071 market), the median days to pending ran 51 days. In the other Pompano Beach market (33076), the same measure ran just 33 days. That's the same buy box, and it's behaving like two different markets depending on which pocket you're standing in.

The share of homes selling over asking price tells you who's actually competing. Across the territory, 13.9% of sales closed above ask. That's not a flood of bidding wars, but it's not nothing either. It's a market where a well-priced home in the right pocket still draws a fight, even while the new-listing pipeline runs thinner than usual.

What does this mean if you're sitting on a property here? Don't assume that a slower new-listing pipeline means you need to price defensively to compete. The data says the opposite. Sellers who listed at the right number this period got close to full ask, and in some pockets, prices climbed well past where they sat a year ago.

If you're buying, don't wait around expecting desperation that isn't showing up in the numbers. A thinner new-listing pipeline combined with sellers holding their price means the leverage you might be hoping for hasn't materialized, at least not on the price side.

What I'll be watching next report: whether that gap between the fast-moving pocket and the slower one narrows or widens, and whether new listings keep shrinking or start to recover. Either one changes the calculus for who has the upper hand heading into the next stretch.

If you want the number for your specific street, reach out. I read this data every week and I'm happy to walk you through what it means for your situation.
