BAY HARBOR ISLAND (Bay Harbor Islands, FL): 18 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 13-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 92.1% of original asking; the median sale took 96 days; new construction was 44.4% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-09-20).

The recorded series starts in 2012 at $962,500. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — BAY HARBOR ISLAND’s median moved +133% from 2019 to 2022.

Of the 30 recorded BAY HARBOR ISLAND closings since 2024, half landed between $2,527,500 and $8,652,500 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $1,200,000 and the highest $21,950,000.

The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Larger homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than smaller ones ($1,725 vs $1,398) — less common, and usually a sign of newer or upgraded product at the top of the range.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,150–2,298 sq ft | $1,398 | $2,050,000 | $1,610,000 – $3,361,050 | 10 |
| Mid-size homes 2,326–4,037 sq ft | $1,287 | $3,689,000 | $1,200,000 – $9,470,000 | 10 |
| Larger homes 4,205–8,548 sq ft | $1,725 | $12,110,875 | $3,850,000 – $21,950,000 | 10 |

For a seller this is the competition a buyer will tour alongside your home; for a buyer, the stale share is where negotiating room usually is. See the current BAY HARBOR ISLAND listings →
At BAY HARBOR ISLAND’s $3,605,525 median and Miami-Dade County’s adopted 17.59 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $63,430 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $62,720 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. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Miami-Dade County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $3,950,000 against the $3,605,525 recorded sold median (+10%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. Demand check: 26% of BAY HARBOR ISLAND’s listings are under contract, against 14% for ZIP 33154 and 18% for Miami-Dade County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Momentum’s market-heat index for BAY HARBOR ISLAND reads 49/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
With asking prices running +10% over the recorded sold median, a BAY HARBOR ISLAND listing priced against the closed record above stands out against its competition; one priced against the asking crowd joins the statewide list of homes that never sold.
