Old Pompano, a neighborhood in Pompano Beach, Florida, has experienced significant changes in its real estate market over the past decade. This area has seen notable fluctuations in homeownership rates, average home prices, and average rent prices, reflecting broader economic and social shifts in the region. The relationship between homeownership rates and average home prices in Old Pompano reveals an interesting inverse correlation. In 2013, the neighborhood had a homeownership rate of 46%, with an average home price of $156,631. As average home prices steadily increased, reaching $289,785 by 2019, the homeownership rate declined to 36%. This trend continued into 2020, with average home prices rising to $312,158 while homeownership slightly rebounded to 40%. The most dramatic shift occurred between 2020 and 2022, where average home prices surged to $440,687, yet homeownership remained relatively stable at 44%.
Federal interest rates have played a significant role in shaping homeownership trends in Old Pompano. The period from 2013 to 2015 saw historically low interest rates, hovering around 0.1%, which coincided with a slight increase in homeownership from 46% to 49% between 2013 and 2014. However, as interest rates began to rise gradually from 2016 onwards, reaching 1.83% by 2018, homeownership rates in Old Pompano declined sharply, hitting a low of 29% in 2017. The subsequent drop in interest rates to 0.38% in 2020 corresponded with a rebound in homeownership to 40%, demonstrating the inverse relationship between interest rates and homeownership.
The rental market in Old Pompano has shown a consistent upward trend in both renter percentages and average rent prices. In 2013, 54% of the population were renters, with an average rent of $1,005. By 2017, the renter percentage peaked at 71%, coinciding with an average rent increase to $1,072. Despite a slight decrease in renter percentage to 56% by 2022, average rent prices continued to climb, reaching $1,352. This trend suggests that even as some residents transitioned back to homeownership, the rental market remained competitive, driving up prices.

Looking at the most recent data, average home prices in Old Pompano continued their upward trajectory, reaching $476,754 in 2023 and $501,533 in 2024. This represents a significant 13.8% increase from 2022 to 2024. Concurrently, federal interest rates have risen sharply, hitting 5.02% in 2023 and 5.33% in 2024, levels not seen since before the 2008 financial crisis. These high interest rates are likely to impact homeownership trends and affordability in the coming years.
Applying predictive models to forecast 5-year trends, we can anticipate continued growth in both average home prices and average rent prices in Old Pompano. Based on historical data and current market conditions, average home prices could potentially reach the $600,000 mark by 2029. Average rent prices are projected to follow a similar upward trend, potentially exceeding $1,600 per month within the same timeframe.
In summary, Old Pompano has experienced a complex interplay between homeownership rates, average home prices, and rental market dynamics over the past decade. The neighborhood has seen a general trend of declining homeownership as property values have increased, with the rental market expanding to accommodate this shift. Recent sharp increases in both home prices and interest rates suggest that affordability may become a growing concern for both potential homebuyers and renters in the coming years. These trends underscore the evolving nature of the real estate market in Old Pompano and the potential challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for residents and investors alike.
