Surfside Real Estate Market Report – December 2025 Trends & Analysis
What’s happening in the Surfside housing market in December 2025?
Surfside is still operating under buyer-favored conditions, and the numbers leave no wiggle room. Sellers continue to price homes far above what buyers are actually paying, days on market keep climbing, and turnover is practically nonexistent. This isn’t a crash. It’s a correction that sellers are refusing to acknowledge, and the widening price gap is the headline.
💎 A Pricing Divide You Can’t Ignore
Active listings average $4.5M, while sold homes average $2.3M. That’s a 96 percent spread.
Price per square foot follows the same pattern: $1,541 active versus $1,046 closed.
Surfside’s ultra-luxury expectations are colliding with buyer reality.
📉 Market Movement That Feels More Like Standstill
Only 32 sales over the past 12 months across 3,171 households.
That’s 1 percent turnover, which is extremely low even for an exclusive coastal enclave.
This isn’t demand scarcity. It’s a market stuck between high pricing and buyer hesitation.
⏳ Time on Market Shows the Disconnect
Closed sales averaged 155 days on the market.
Active listings have been sitting for 269 days.
When homes that sell move twice as fast as homes still listed, the pricing message writes itself.
🎯 Buyer Leverage Is Real
A 9 percent discount is modest given the massive pricing gap, which shows how slowly sellers are adjusting.
Buyers who are patient and strategic are getting rewarded, and Surfside’s current climate gives them the upper hand.
🧭 What This Means for You
For buyers
You’re in a high-leverage environment. The numbers give you negotiating room, time, and clarity. No need to chase overpriced listings.
For sellers
The market is clear: strategy matters more than optimism. Buyers are measuring value across the entire coastline and ignoring listings that don’t make sense.
