Hollywood Beach and Hallandale Beach sit three miles apart on the same stretch of Broward County coastline, and from a distance they can look like the same conversation: both Atlantic-facing, both more affordable than Miami-Dade’s branded corridor, both frequently lumped together by buyers scanning South Florida for value. They are not the same conversation. The MLS data tells two genuinely different stories, and I’d rather give you the honest version of both than a flattering version of either.
I covered Hollywood Beach’s zip code, 33019, in detail in a separate guide — a buyer’s market with real softening, but a market that is, on balance, functioning. Hallandale Beach’s zip code, 33009, is a different and more challenging picture. This comparison puts the two side by side, using the same MLS-sourced data standard for both, so you can see exactly where the real difference is.
At a Glance: The Two Markets Side by Side

|---|---|---|
| Active condo/townhome listings | 555 | 1,025 |
| YoY change in listings | -22.3% | -9.7% |
| Months of inventory (closed sales) | 12.8 | 22.8 |

| Market classification | Buyer’s market | Buyer’s market — significantly oversupplied |
The Headline Number: 22.8 Months of Inventory
The single most important figure in this comparison is months of inventory based on closed sales — the cleanest available measure of how oversupplied a market actually is, because it accounts for both how much is for sale and how fast it’s actually selling.
Hollywood Beach sits at 12.8 months as of late June 2026 — more than double the six-month threshold that defines a buyer’s market, but a figure that has been contracting, down from 20.3 months reported as recently as March 2025’s year-ago comparison.
Hallandale Beach sits at 22.8 months — nearly two full years of inventory at the current sales pace, and that figure has not meaningfully improved. March 2026’s reading of 23.4 months was actually up 9.4% year-over-year, meaning Hallandale’s oversupply problem got worse over the past twelve months, not better. The trailing 15-month chart in the underlying MLS data shows inventory bouncing between roughly 17 and 28 months throughout the period — this is not a temporary dip. It is a sustained, structural imbalance between supply and demand.
For context: a market with six months of inventory is balanced. A market with twelve months, like Hollywood Beach, is a real buyer’s market. A market with nearly twenty-three months, like Hallandale Beach, is a market where sellers are, in aggregate, badly out of step with what buyers are willing to pay or how fast they’re willing to act — and where new listings are arriving faster than the market can absorb them.
Price Per Square Foot: A Genuinely Different Price Tier
The pricing gap between these two markets is larger than most buyers comparing them by reputation alone would expect.
Hollywood Beach’s average sold price per square foot, month-to-date, is $448 — down 11.8% year-over-year, but still in a price band that reflects genuine, if softening, oceanfront condo value. The trailing 12-month average of $489 confirms this is a market that has held a meaningful price floor even through a slowdown.
Hallandale Beach’s average sold price per square foot, month-to-date, is $291, and the trailing-quarter figure of $337 to $345 still sits roughly 30% below Hollywood Beach’s comparable numbers. That gap is not a rounding difference. It reflects a meaningfully different building stock — Hallandale’s resale inventory is weighted more heavily toward older, smaller, more dated condo product than Hollywood Beach’s mix — combined with the genuine drag that nearly two years of inventory overhang puts on achievable pricing.
The volatility in Hallandale’s own data is worth noting honestly: average sold price per square foot swung from $375 in April 2025 to $300 in August 2025 to $375 again in September, then down to $273 in February 2026 before bouncing to $345 in March. That kind of swing, month to month, in a market this size, signals a small number of closings driving the average rather than a stable, broad-based price trend — buyers and sellers in Hallandale should treat any single month’s figure with real caution and look at the trailing-quarter or trailing-year average instead.
Days on Market: Closer Than the Headline Suggests, But Read Carefully
This is the one metric where the comparison is less lopsided than the inventory and pricing numbers suggest — and worth explaining why.
Hollywood Beach’s days on market, month-to-date, is 144, with a trailing 12-month average of 130. Hallandale Beach’s days on market, month-to-date, is 102, with a trailing 12-month average of 119 — both broadly comparable, and Hallandale’s recent figure is actually shorter.
The honest reconciliation: Hallandale’s lower days-on-market figure alongside its dramatically higher months-of-inventory figure is not a contradiction — it reflects the difference between how fast individual units sell once priced realistically versus how much total competing inventory is sitting on the market at any given time. A unit in Hallandale that is priced to move can still sell in around 100 days; the problem is the sheer depth of competing inventory behind it, which is what the 22.8-month figure captures and days-on-market alone does not.
What’s Actually Being Built: Oasis Hallandale and Shell Bay vs. ICON Beach
The new-construction stories in these two markets are genuinely different in scale and ambition, and that gap is worth understanding on its own terms, separate from the resale data above.
Oasis Hallandale is the most significant development in either zip code covered in this comparison — a 10-acre, Arquitectonica-designed, mixed-use project at 1000 E. Hallandale Beach Boulevard, consisting of twin 25-story towers totaling 500 luxury residences, alongside roughly 60,000 square feet of retail and dining and 35,000 square feet of office space. The West Tower has topped off with 75% of its units reportedly sold; the East Tower — 250 residences from 900 to 4,750 square feet, priced from $750,000 to $5.02 million — recently topped off as well, with a $112 million construction loan confirming real institutional financing behind the project’s completion. Oasis has attracted genuine national attention, including Wall Street Journal coverage of a sports-buyer phenomenon tied to the project’s proximity to Hard Rock Stadium, Inter Miami CF’s home, and Gulfstream Park.
Shell Bay Residences, at 501 Diplomat Parkway, takes a different approach entirely — an Auberge Resorts Collection-branded community wrapped around a Greg Norman-designed championship golf course, with one to four-bedroom residences and the same wellness and athletic-performance positioning that defines Auberge’s other luxury developments. Groundbreaking occurred in January 2025.
Hyde Beach and Hyde Beach House, the established condo-hotel anchors on Hallandale’s oceanfront, round out the market’s existing branded product — 367 resort condos plus 40 ultra-luxury oceanfront residences, with rental flexibility that has made the project popular with both investors and the area’s substantial short-term rental market.
By comparison, Hollywood Beach’s new-construction story is narrower: ICON Beach Condo is the only true ultra-luxury new-build currently active in 33019. That is a meaningful difference in pipeline depth and developer ambition — Hallandale is seeing significantly more institutional capital and significantly larger projects break ground than Hollywood Beach is right now, even though Hollywood Beach’s resale market is currently performing better by the numbers.
How to Reconcile This: More Development, Weaker Resale Numbers
The apparent contradiction in this comparison — Hallandale attracting larger, more ambitious new development while its resale market shows nearly double Hollywood Beach’s inventory overhang and a materially lower price per square foot — is actually a coherent story once you separate the two market segments.
The new-construction activity at Oasis Hallandale and Shell Bay is being absorbed by a different buyer than the one transacting in Hallandale’s existing condo stock. Oasis’s sports-buyer phenomenon and Shell Bay’s golf-and-wellness positioning are both pulling in a specific, motivated, often out-of-state buyer pool drawn by a particular lifestyle thesis — proximity to Hard Rock Stadium, a Greg Norman golf course, an Auberge brand — rather than buyers shopping the broader Hallandale resale market on price and value alone.
Meanwhile, the older, more dated condo stock that makes up the bulk of Hallandale’s 1,025 active listings is competing in a genuinely oversupplied market, with 22.8 months of inventory and pricing that reflects both age and depth of competition. These are, in effect, two different markets sharing a zip code — and a buyer evaluating Hallandale needs to know which one they’re actually shopping in before drawing conclusions from either the exciting development headlines or the discouraging resale statistics alone.
Who Should Buy Where: The Direct Answer
Buy in Hollywood Beach (33019) if:
- You want a buyer’s market with real but more moderate softening — 12.8 months of inventory, not 22.8
- You’re comparison-shopping resale value against Miami-Dade’s branded corridor and want the better-supported price floor of the two Broward options
- ICON Beach’s Meyer Davis-designed new construction and permissive rental policy fit your specific use case
- The Broadwalk’s settled, multi-generational lifestyle is a better fit than a sports-and-golf-driven new-development thesis
Buy in Hallandale Beach (33009) if:
- You specifically want in on Oasis Hallandale or Shell Bay Residences for their lifestyle thesis — sports-adjacent living or golf-and-wellness branded living — rather than the broader resale market
- You’re an investor comfortable with a deeply oversupplied resale segment and willing to negotiate hard on price, since 22.8 months of inventory gives buyers real leverage on existing condo stock
- You understand and accept the volatility in Hallandale’s month-to-month pricing data and are prepared to evaluate specific buildings and comparables rather than relying on any single blended average
The honest bottom line: if you are shopping the existing resale condo stock for the best combination of price stability and a market that is genuinely working through its inventory rather than drowning in it, Hollywood Beach is the stronger choice between these two right now. If you are specifically drawn to one of Hallandale’s two major new branded developments and their distinct lifestyle thesis, that decision stands on its own merits, separate from the broader resale market’s current weakness.
Frequently Asked Questions

On a pure price-per-square-foot basis, Hallandale Beach is less expensive — averaging $291 to $345 per square foot versus Hollywood Beach’s $448 to $489. However, Hallandale’s much higher months-of-inventory figure (22.8 versus 12.8) suggests that a lower price reflects a genuinely weaker, more oversupplied resale market rather than simply a better deal.
Which market has more inventory, Hollywood Beach or Hallandale Beach?
Hallandale Beach (33009) has significantly more active listings — 1,025 versus Hollywood Beach’s 555 — and a much higher months-of-inventory figure at 22.8 versus 12.8, indicating a more oversupplied resale market relative to current sales pace.
What is Oasis Hallandale?
Oasis Hallandale is a 10-acre mixed-use development in Hallandale Beach designed by Arquitectonica, consisting of twin 25-story condominium towers totaling 500 luxury residences, alongside retail, dining, and office space.

Is Hallandale Beach a good investment in 2026?
It depends heavily on which segment of the market you’re evaluating. The broader resale condo market shows significant oversupply, with 22.8 months of inventory and softening prices. The two major new branded developments — Oasis Hallandale and Shell Bay Residences — are attracting strong, motivated buyer interest tied to specific lifestyle theses that are largely independent of the broader resale market’s weakness.
Is Hollywood Beach a better buy than Hallandale Beach right now?
For buyers shopping the existing resale condo stock, Hollywood Beach currently shows a more favorable combination of inventory levels and price stability. For buyers specifically interested in Hallandale’s new branded developments, that decision should be evaluated on its own terms rather than compared directly to Hollywood Beach’s resale market.
