Run the real numbers before you commit: what selling nets you, whether your Save Our Homes benefit moves with you, and rent vs buy in Miami-Dade County.
At Old Cutler Bay’s $16,975,000 median and Miami-Dade County’s adopted 17.59 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $298,640 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $297,930 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing.

Typical asking rent across Miami-Dade County sits near $2,836 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 1.1% year over year.

Home prices run about 7.58x the county’s median household income, the affordability backdrop every buyer here negotiates inside.
