Lighthouse Point, FL Real Estate Market
Lighthouse Point Housing Market Right Now
You're not walking into a bidding war in Lighthouse Point. As of October 2026, this is a balanced market, with 6.0 months of supply: 148 homes listed now against 296 sales over the past 12 months. You have time to see a few houses, compare them, and do your homework before you commit.
The sales back that up. Homes sold at a median of 94.3% of their final list price, and only 4% went for more than the asking price. The typical sale took 77 days on the market. An offer below list price fits how homes here have actually been selling, and the pace leaves room in your timeline for a proper inspection. You don't have to rush a decision on a house you've only seen once.
Lighthouse Point Home Prices by Range
The median sold price of $890,000 is worth reading alongside the price ranges, because sales here are spread out. Over the last year, 46% of sales were $1,000,000 and up, while 24% sold for under $300,000.
In between, 4% sold for between $300,000 and $400,000, and 3% sold for between $400,000 and $500,000. Another 10% sold for between $500,000 and $750,000, and 13% sold for between $750,000 and $1,000,000.
My advice is to settle on your price range before you start touring. With sales spread this widely, the overall median won't tell you much about what your budget buys. Searching within a set range gets you a clear picture of the homes you'd realistically be choosing between, and it keeps you from falling for a house well outside what you planned to spend.
Typical Homes in Lighthouse Point
Across the 908 homes sold since 2023 or listed now, the typical one has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in about 1,820 sq ft of living space. Homes that sold over the last year went for a median of $489 per square foot.
That per-square-foot figure is the handiest yardstick you have when two listings differ in size. If one home is noticeably larger but priced close to a smaller one, working out the price per square foot for each shows you quickly which is asking more for the space. Keep it in mind alongside condition, which matters a lot here, as you'll see below.
Older Homes in Lighthouse Point
The typical home here was built around 1966, which puts condition at the center of almost every purchase. An older house can be well cared for and thoroughly updated, or it can still be running on decades-old systems. The listing photos won't always tell you which.
When you find a house you like, ask the seller for the dates and permits on major replacements: roof, electrical panel and wiring, plumbing, windows, and air conditioning. Then have your inspector look closely at the same items. If the work hasn't been done, price it into your offer and your budget. The relaxed pace of this market works in your favor here. There's time to bring in a roofer or plumber for a second look before you're locked in.
Lighthouse Point Homes with an HOA
Plenty of homes here have an association. 36% of homes on record report an HOA, so check early whether the one you're considering is among them. Find out what the association covers and what its rules say. This matters most if you're buying an older home with plans to renovate. Some associations require approval before you change a roof, windows, or the exterior, and you'll want to know that before you set a budget or a schedule for the work.
Questions to Ask Before Buying in Lighthouse Point
- Built around 1966: which systems (roof, electrical, plumbing, windows, air conditioning) have been replaced, and are there permits showing when?
- With 36% of homes reporting an HOA: does this home have one, what does the association cover, and does it need to approve renovations?
- The typical sale took 77 days: how long has this particular home been listed, and has its price changed along the way?
