Over the recorded series, LAKES BY THE BAY KAYE’s median sold price moved from $222,950 (2012) to $575,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +158% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $222,950. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — LAKES BY THE BAY KAYE’s median moved +67% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2025 peak of $612,500, the current median stands at -6%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 1 to 11 closings a year (10-yr average 4.6). With roughly 4.6 closings a year, LAKES BY THE BAY KAYE’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
Of the 15 recorded LAKES BY THE BAY KAYE closings since 2024, half landed between $560,000 and $652,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $525,000 and the highest $684,500. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

| $550,000 – $600,000 | 7 (47%) | |

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. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($324 vs $256) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,760–1,760 sq ft | $324 | $570,000 | $525,000 – $675,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 1,760–1,876 sq ft | $312 | $575,000 | $525,000 – $590,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 1,876–2,711 sq ft | $256 | $669,000 | $607,500 – $684,500 | 5 |
At LAKES BY THE BAY KAYE’s $575,000 median and Miami-Dade County’s adopted 17.59 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $10,120 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $9,400 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 $610,000 against the $575,000 recorded sold median (+6%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. Demand check: 0% of LAKES BY THE BAY KAYE’s listings are under contract, against 21% for ZIP 33189 and 18% for Miami-Dade County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Momentum’s market-heat index for LAKES BY THE BAY KAYE reads 31/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Asking and recorded sold prices are within a few percent of each other here, so the table above is close to what a LAKES BY THE BAY KAYE buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.
