Is Wilton Manors a Condo Town or a House Town? Reading Several Medians and a Long Wait

What does the house, townhouse and condo split show?

The city guide's table is the most useful single page for an owner, because it shows that the town is two markets. Single-family homes are 180 of 324 sales, or 55.6%, at a median of $832,500. Condominiums are 102 sales, or 31.5%, at $252,500. Townhouses are 42 sales, or 13.0%, at $572,000. The shares are this brief's arithmetic, and the three counts add up to the 324 the page reports.

The same page splits sales by bedrooms. One-bedroom homes had 31 sales at $212,500. Two-bedroom homes had 118 at $449,500. Three-bedroom homes had 130 at $800,000, four-bedroom homes had 42 at $962,500 and homes with five or more bedrooms had 3 at $2,900,000. Those counts also add to 324. The three-bedroom median is 3.8 times the one-bedroom median, and a five-bedroom sale is a rare event, with three in a year.

Put the two splits together and the overall $637,000 stands between a $252,500 condominium and an $832,500 house, and is typical of neither. It is closer to the townhouse median of $572,000 than to anything else, which is a coincidence of the mix. If next year had a few more condo sales and a few fewer house sales, the overall median could fall by tens of thousands of dollars while every individual home held its value.

The page also reports a median of 54 days on market for all 324 sales and $412 per square foot. It does not give days on market or price per square foot by type, so this brief cannot say whether a condominium sells faster than a house. A reader who wants that comparison needs a source that splits the speed figure, and none of the six pages does. That is a gap in the public record, and it is one reason a quiet conversation with a buyer who knows the island can be more useful than a median.

This is the first question for an owner: which of the three groups is the home in? A waterfront house on an island lot and a one-bedroom condominium are in the same city and in different markets. The town median is a poor guide to either.

Why do the six town medians run from $555,000 to $715,000?

Start with the spread. The highest, $715,000, is 1.29 times the lowest, $555,000, and the gap is $160,000. Both are sold figures from 2026. They differ because they cover different months, different counts and different mixes. The $555,000 is Realtor.com's May median sold price, and it fell 15.53% on the year, which is a large change for one month and is the kind of swing a small sample produces. The $715,000 is from a brokerage's June update and rose 1.8% on the year, with closed sales down 8.8%.

The longer-window figures sit in the middle. The tracker's $649,500 covers 294 closings over twelve months, and the city guide's $637,000 covers 324. They differ by $12,500, or 1.9% of the higher figure, and each is a twelve-month median, which is steadier than a one-month figure. A reader who wants one number for the market as a whole should weight these two more than the monthly figures.

The data site's $600,000 for September shows how a figure can look recent and say very little. The page covers one month, lists three closed sales and a median of 170 days on market, and its own year-on-year change is minus 17.9%. Three sales is not a market. This brief shows the figure in the table and gives it no weight.

Redfin's $666,000 sits in the range but is older than the others. The page shows sales from June 2025 as its most recent, so it is a year-old reading of a town that has moved since. A seller who uses a figure without asking which month it describes may be quoting last year to a buyer who has read this year.

Do the days on market agree?

No, and the disagreement is wider than the price disagreement. Realtor.com shows a median of 64 days as of May, down 11.11% on the year. The brokerage guide shows 54 days across its twelve months. The June update shows 100 days, up from 76 and 31.6% higher. Redfin's older page shows 98 days to pending and about 96.5 days in a second measure. The three-sale page shows 170 days, which is one month of three sales and not a trend.

Resideline measured the stages instead. It found a median of 45 days from listing to contract across 67 closings and a median of 25 days from contract to closing across 80 closings. Together those are 70 days, which is this brief's arithmetic. It adds the median of one set of sales to the median of another and is an illustration and not a measured total. It does fit between the 54 and the 100.

The June update's warning is the sharpest. It says that homes in Wilton Manors are taking longer to find a buyer and that sellers who price against last year's expectations risk sitting on the market. It also reports new listings up 24.3%, which means more competition for each buyer. A seller on a public listing is entering a field that grew.

Realtor.com gives a different reading of the same spring. It reports active listings down 25% on the year and calls the days on market faster. The pages do not conflict on the facts, since one is a May count of listings and the other is a June count of closings, and the facts they report are different. They show why a single measure of speed is not enough.

What does the Realtor.com community table show?

The Realtor.com page lists named condominiums and subdivisions with a count of homes for sale. Manor Grove Village Condominium has 30 homes for sale and a median listing price of $239,000. Wilton Station Condominiums has 10 and $525,000. Tropical Manors has 9 and $900,000. The table also lists Edgewater Estates, Jenada Isle and Sunset Manors with 7 homes each, Almar Estates and Wilton Estates with 5 each, and smaller counts for Babco Park, Boulevard Estates, Hillbrook, Amadale, March Estates, Babco Heights and Belle Isle Condominiums.

These counts add up to 102 homes, which is 41.0% of the page's headline count of 249. One condominium complex, Manor Grove Village, accounts for 30 of them, or 12.0% of the headline. Its median listing price is $239,000 against $900,000 for Tropical Manors, which is 3.8 times as much. These figures are this brief's arithmetic. A seller in one of the island subdivisions should look at the subdivision row, if there is one, and ignore the citywide figure.

One caution applies to the page's counts. A listing count is a snapshot of a single day, and a complex with 30 homes for sale may be one with a small number of motivated sellers or one with a slow-moving backlog. The year-on-year column shows Manor Grove Village unchanged at 30, Wilton Station Condominiums down 54.55% to 10, Tropical Manors up 33.33% to 9 and Babco Park up 300% from a very low base to 4. Percentages on counts this small swing widely, and this brief gives them little weight.

The page's median days on market by community shows the same split. Wilton Station Condominiums shows 62 days, Manor Grove Village 76 and Tropical Manors 95. This brief notes that the page gives three communities and that the highest-priced of the three is the slowest. It does not claim that higher prices cause slower sales, since three rows cannot show that.

What does the Census say about who lives and owns here?

The Census profile for the postal area gives a population of 13,243 and 8,654 housing units, of which 7,115 are occupied and 1,539 are vacant. That is a vacancy rate of 17.8%. Of the occupied homes, 4,782 are owner-occupied, or 67.2%, and 2,333 are rented, or 32.8%. One in three occupied homes is a rental, which is a larger share than in many of the coastal towns in this series and which fits the condominium count in the sales data. That link is an inference.

Median household income is $92,485, median gross rent is $1,971 and the median value of an owner-occupied home is $640,400, with a margin of error of $44,025. The Census value is 1.4% below the tracker's $649,500, which is this brief's arithmetic, and the two come from different methods. One is owners' own estimates over five years and the other is closings over twelve months, and it is a coincidence that they are close.

The housing is mid-century. The median year built is 1974. Homes built in the 1950s number 2,285, which is the largest group, followed by 2,033 from the 1970s and 1,124 from the 1960s. Together those three decades are 5,442 homes, or 62.9% of all units, and 65.0% were built before 1980. Only 1,731 homes, or 20.0%, have been built since 2000. For an owner, that points to older roofs, older electrical work and older plumbing in many homes, though the Census does not measure condition. That last point is a general observation, not a measured one.

What do the Broward County series add?

Realtor.com publishes county series through the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and Broward County includes Wilton Manors along with many much larger markets. The county median days on market rose from 77 in April to 85 in August, up 10.4% (Realtor.com, days on market). The percentage is this brief's arithmetic. The county pace is slower than in spring, the same direction as the town's June figure, though far smaller than the town's jump from 76 to 100.

Active listings in the county fell from 15,476 in April to 14,270 in August, down 7.8% (Realtor.com, active listings). The county median listing price was $380,000 in both May and September (Realtor.com, median listing price). The town's median listing price of $669,900 in May is 1.76 times the county figure, which is this brief's arithmetic and which shows how far the town sits above the county as a whole.

The count of homes with a price reduction fell from 3,810 in April to 3,372 in August (Realtor.com, price reduced count). The August count is 23.6% of the county's active listings, which is this brief's arithmetic. Roughly one in four listings had a cut. For a seller, that is a reminder that cuts are common even in a county where the number of listings is shrinking.

These are county figures, not Wilton Manors figures. The series titles were checked on their series pages. They give the background and do not replace the town data. Readers comparing markets can also read the Vero Beach brief and the Coral Ridge South brief.

What should an owner ask, and what does a private sale change?

Ask which group the home belongs to: house, townhouse or condominium, and which subdivision. Ask which source a number comes from, what period it covers and how many sales sit behind it. A median of three sales, one of 294 and one of 324 are not equally reliable. Ask whether the figure is a list price or a sold price, and ask for the date, because a page from 2025 and a page from this October can both rank first.

A private sale changes how a home reaches a buyer. With Maison Off-Market there are no showings and no neighbors talking about a sale, the closing date can be flexible so that an owner has time to find a new home, there are no commission costs, there are no closing costs and there are no inspections or repairs. This brief does not claim that a private sale always brings a higher price than a public listing. It says those five features change what a seller has to go through.

Fee arithmetic shows why the commission point matters, without assuming any rate. Each 1% of a sale price is $5,550 at $555,000, $6,495 at $649,500 and $7,150 at $715,000. At 3% those amounts are $16,650, $19,485 and $21,450. At 5% they are $27,750, $32,475 and $35,750. These are illustrations of what a percentage means on each of the figures in this brief, and they are not a statement of what any agent charges or what any sale would cost.

If you are weighing a sale of a Wilton Manors home, one conversation costs nothing and obliges you to nothing. We ask about the home, the timing you would like and what you would need from a buyer, and we say plainly whether a private sale fits.

Methodology and limitations

Median prices, days on market, sale-to-list ratios and listing counts come from Realtor.com's city page with indicators as of May 2026, a brokerage update for June 2026, Resideline's city report updated October 2, 2026, a brokerage city guide computed over twelve months, Redfin's city page and a data site page for September 2026. The sources cover different periods, and most are commercial pages, so they are not independent.

Census figures come from the American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates for the postal area, through Census Reporter. County series are Realtor.com data published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis for Broward County, Florida, and the series titles were checked on the series pages. Percentages, gaps, ratios and fee amounts are this brief's own arithmetic and are labeled as such. Where a reading goes beyond what a page says, it is called an inference. No agent contact details or street addresses from the pages are reproduced.

Conclusion

The Wilton Manors record shows six town medians from $555,000 to $715,000, a house median of $832,500 and a condominium median of $252,500, days on market of 54 to 100 depending on the page, and a postal area in which two in three homes were built before 1980. One of the six figures rests on three sales and one comes from a page that appears to be a year old.

It does not fix a price for any one home. The choice between a public listing and a private sale comes down to whether an owner would rather meet showings, price cuts and a public clock, or sell quietly on a date that suits them. Maison Off-Market speaks only to sellers, and a conversation costs nothing.
