Davie is unlike its Broward neighbors — a leafy "town" that has held onto its equestrian roots, with horse trails, larger lots, and family neighborhoods alongside the campuses of Nova Southeastern and other schools. Its mix of ranch-style homes and newer communities draws families, and Broward County's high-cost FHA limit gives those buyers extra borrowing room.
Broward County is a designated high-cost area, so its 2026 single-family FHA limit is $667,000, above the $541,287 statewide floor — meaning you can finance higher-priced Davie homes than in most of Florida. Confirm Broward County's exact limit with HUD's official FHA loan-limit lookup. That higher limit helps Davie families finance single-family homes, with only larger acreage and luxury properties tending to exceed it.
Davie's single-family homes are straightforward FHA purchases, and the town's family appeal pairs well with FHA's 3.5% down and gift-fund allowance. For townhomes and condos near the universities or in newer communities, confirm the building/association is FHA-approved (or qualifies for Single-Unit Approval) via our condo guide. Older homes that need updates can be financed with an FHA 203(k) renovation loan.
You don't have to cover the down payment alone. FHA allows gift funds, sellers can contribute up to 6% toward closing costs, and Davie buyers can often pair FHA with assistance from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation and Broward County's local SHIP-funded programs. Funding and eligibility change frequently, so we'll help you confirm what's currently available — see our FHA down payment assistance guide.
We help buyers throughout Davie and Broward County, including Forest Ridge, Shenandoah, and the equestrian communities near Nova Southeastern. Wherever you're looking, we'll explain your FHA loan limit, rate, and monthly payment — and get you pre-approved fast.
