Fair-market rents by ZIP (HUD FY2026)
HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rents set a government benchmark for rents by ZIP and bedroom count. They're a useful floor for underwriting, though actual market rents vary by condition and building. (For a calibrated, property-specific estimate from real closed leases, that's what ReSharpe does inside the app.)
| ZIP | Studio | 1 BR | 2 BR | 3 BR | 4 BR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 33317 | $1,870 | $2,040 | $2,510 | $3,460 | $4,100 |
| 33322 | $2,030 | $2,220 | $2,730 | $3,760 | $4,460 |
| 33323 | $2,430 | $2,660 | $3,270 | $4,510 | $5,340 |
| 33324 | $2,200 | $2,400 | $2,950 | $4,070 | $4,820 |
Home-price appreciation (FHFA)
The FHFA House Price Index for the Fort Lauderdale–Pompano Beach–Sunrise, FL (FHFA metro division) shows how Broward County prices have moved — including through the cycle, which is the part most “appreciation” claims skip:
- +57.7%5-year (9.5%/yr)
- +121.5%10-year (8.3%/yr)
- +72.1%20-year (2.8%/yr)
For context, the same index fell about 48% from its 2006 peak to its post-crisis trough around 2011, and now sits roughly 67.5% above that prior peak. Prices here are cyclical — underwrite on current cash flow, not on a straight line.
Investing in Plantation: what to know
Largely single-family and townhome communities from the 1970s–1990s, with mature landscaping and a more suburban feel than the coast.
Professional-tenant demand and central location support stable long-term rentals; entry prices sit in the county's mid-to-upper range.
Older HOA communities mean reserves and occasional assessments; confirm leasing rules, which vary widely between associations here.
None of the above uses MLS listing data — it's government benchmarks plus general market knowledge. To analyze actual Plantation listings with calibrated rent, valuation and condo-document review, that happens inside ReSharpe (for licensed agents), with the approach explained on the methodology page.
