Broward's real estate continues to soar in value, posting a robust 7 percent gain over last year, new data from the property appraiser shows.
Developers poured millions into new homes, condos and businesses, too, adding $1.3 billion to the property tax rolls.
Between the higher values and new construction, Broward is a real estate powerhouse, with a $150.7 billion total. The figures, slightly higher than an estimate released a month ago, were announced Monday by Broward Property Appraiser Lori Parrish.
"Everybody did well,'' Parrish said, noting that increases were healthy even in older cities like Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Oakland Park and Hallandale Beach.
