"Miami-Dade is Florida's largest county and a global gateway — international finance, trade, and tourism converge in a market that is the priciest and least affordable in the state. A wave of finance, tech, and crypto migration has pushed Brickell and the waterfront to record highs, even as insurance, condo assessments, and sea-level risk reshape the lower end. For buyers that means selectivity and patience; for sellers, sharp pricing and a willingness to offer a concession. The county median is a starting point — the number that matters is the one for a specific home in a specific Miami-Dade County neighborhood, which is what we price against live comps."

Miami-Dade County snapshot (April 2026): typical home value $521K ($465/sqft), median rent $2,869, about 17,139 active listings, a median 83 days on market, and 13.0% of listings cutting price — a balanced market. Values are -2.7% over the past year and +7.5% over five years.
Miami-Dade runs on global connectivity. PortMiami is the 'Cruise Capital of the World' and Miami International Airport is a primary gateway to Latin America, anchoring trade and logistics. Brickell is the financial center of the Southeast, home to Latin American bank headquarters and a recent wave of hedge-fund, asset-management, and tech relocations. Tourism and hospitality run year-round, healthcare is led by Baptist Health South Florida and Jackson Health, and cruise giants Carnival and Royal Caribbean are headquartered here.

Should You Buy, Sell, or Invest Here?
This is the most expensive market in Florida, and it is global — expect international competition on waterfront and Brickell product, and budget hard for insurance and condo reserves.
International and out-of-state wealth keeps the high end liquid, but the condo market is being repriced by post-Surfside assessments and insurance, so positioning matters.
World-class long-term demand and rents, but entry prices and carrying costs are extreme — Miami-Dade is an appreciation-and-global-demand play, not a cash-flow one.

Schools in Miami-Dade County
Miami-Dade County Public Schools is the fourth-largest district in the country and runs an exceptional magnet program — several of its choice schools rank among the very best in the nation — alongside a wide range of zoned quality. The Coral Gables and Pinecrest areas and the magnets are the strongest draws.
- Design & Architecture Senior High (DASH)
- MAST Academy
- School for Advanced Studies
- Coral Reef Senior High
- Coral Gables Senior High
The top performers are magnet and choice schools with application processes, so where you live does not fully determine access — confirm both the zoned assignment and magnet eligibility for any address. See school-zone guides →
Taxes, Insurance & Cost to Own
A median-priced Miami-Dade County home costs about $3,831/month all-in (mortgage, tax, and insurance, 10% down) against median household income of $68,694. Florida's homestead exemption removes up to $50,000 of assessed value, and Save Our Homes caps annual assessed-value increases at 3% while you keep the homestead.
| Typical property-tax millage | 17.593 mills (~1.76% before exemptions) |
| Avg. homeowners insurance | $1,891/yr (Citizens county avg) |
| Homestead exemption | Up to $50,000 + 3% Save Our Homes cap |
| Est. all-in monthly (PITI) | $3,831/mo on a $521K home |
| Income to buy median home | $153,242/yr (est.) |
At about $1,891 a year on average, Miami-Dade is middle-of-the-pack for Florida — manageable, but very address-dependent near the water. Wind-mitigation features earn insurance credits; flood insurance is priced separately by address. Run your own numbers with the true cost calculator.
New Construction in Miami-Dade County
Builders pulled 16,535 residential permits last year (+55.9% YoY) — 2,666 single-family and 13,869 multifamily, about 6.2 per 1,000 residents. Active master-planned communities include Downtown Doral; The Hammocks (Kendall); Cutler Bay; Lakes by the Bay; Islands at Doral. Builders compete on rate buydowns and closing-cost credits; buyer representation matters even on a new build. See active builders →
Population & Migration
Miami-Dade County has about 2,685,296 residents. On a net domestic basis it saw net domestic out-migration of about 40,258 people and a net +$484.03M in adjusted gross income in the latest IRS filing year (county-to-county moves within the U.S.; this does not count international migration or births). Domestic arrivals are led by NY, CA, TX, NJ. Notably, even where the county loses residents on net, the income arriving outweighs the income leaving — a wealth-migration pattern.
12-Month Forecast
Expect a two-speed market: international and finance-driven wealth keeps the waterfront and Brickell high end liquid, while the broader condo market continues to absorb insurance and assessment shocks. Affordability is the ceiling on mid-market demand; the luxury and global-buyer tiers stay the most resilient.

PortMiami and MIA make it a true global hub, the dining and nightlife are world-class, and pro sports (the Heat, Dolphins, Marlins, and Inter Miami) round out a 24/7 international city.
Risks to Weigh
Miami-Dade carries Florida's steepest costs and risks: it is the least affordable county in the state (price-to-income well above the rest), insurance and hurricane/storm-surge exposure are at the top of the range, and sea-level rise and king-tide flooding are real long-term concerns. On older coastal condos, post-Surfside reserve requirements and special assessments must be diligenced carefully before purchase.

Codina and MICL Global file plans for a 168-room Tribute hotel in Downtown Doral
Codina Partners and Mumbai based MICL Global filed plans with the City of Doral for an eight-story Tribute by Marriott boutique hotel designed by Arquitectonica. The roughly 100,000 square foot project at Northwest 53rd Terrace and Paseo Boulevard would hold 168 guest rooms and 1,500 square feet of commercial space. A Codina affiliate sold the nearly one-acre site in June for 14.4 million dollars to a joint venture between the two firms.
What it may mean for the marketA new branded hotel filing in Downtown Doral could signal continued commercial confidence in the 250-acre mixed-use district, which has historically added retail, offices and apartments in phases.

Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove goes vertical on South Bayshore Drive
Vertical construction is underway on the 20-story Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove, a waterfront condo tower at 2699 South Bayshore Drive in Miami. The CMC Group and Fort Partners project will hold 70 residences plus four penthouses and follows 323.8 million dollars in construction financing secured earlier this year. Completion is scheduled for 2028, and it is Florida's first standalone Four Seasons branded residential building.
What it may mean for the marketProgress on a fully financed tower may indicate that well capitalized condo projects in established waterfront corridors are historically more likely to stay on schedule than speculative proposals.

Developer plans 376 unit Live Local project near Aventura
The Faith Group filed a pre application to redevelop the two story Aventura Offices and Medical Center at 2627 and 2691 Northeast 203rd Street in unincorporated Miami-Dade into a 14 story, roughly 376 unit Live Local Act residential building on about 1.8 acres. Plans show ground floor coworking space, a parking podium and a 10th floor pool deck. The filing continues a wave of office to residential conversions in north Miami-Dade.
What it may mean for the marketIf it advances, the project could add rental supply near the Aventura submarket, though pre applications can change before any approval.

DeSantis signs Live Local Act amendment into law
Governor Ron DeSantis signed Florida House Bill 1389, which broadens the land eligible for the workforce housing law and limits how local governments can restrict qualifying projects. Eligibility expands to certain county, municipal, school district and qualifying religious institution properties when at least 40 percent of units are set aside as workforce housing for 30 years, and counties can no longer use setbacks or stepbacks to cap project height. The measure takes effect July 1, 2026.
What it may mean for the marketThe broadened criteria could make more parcels across Miami-Dade eligible for administratively approved workforce housing projects, though local legal challenges may shape how it is applied.

Owners seek density bonuses for 146 apartments near Kendall hospital
The Serralta Family Trust filed a pre-application for 67 apartments at 8401 Southwest 94th Street, while Cape Summit 69 Holdings proposed a nearby three story project that its attorney said would be amended to 79 units. Both sites sit within half a mile of the Kendall Drive rapid transit corridor, where the county allows 36 units per acre plus a 25 percent density boost when at least 10 percent of units are workforce housing. Nearby residents filed objections and the plans require Community Zoning Appeals Board approval.
What it may mean for the marketIf approved, these transit adjacent density bonus projects could signal continued infill apartment pressure on single family parcels in the Kendall area, though the pending board review leaves the outcome uncertain.

Miami-Dade school board revives parking-lot swap with Crescent Heights for new Omni headquarters
Miami-Dade County Public Schools approved a revived agreement to relocate its district offices into a planned 43-story mixed-use tower in Miami's Omni area developed by Crescent Heights. The district would convey its parking lot, known as Parcel 7 and valued at 27.5 million dollars last year, in exchange for district offices across two floors, an auditorium and 600 parking spaces inside the project.
What it may mean for the marketA swap of public parking land for built-in district space may let the school system modernize its footprint without a large cash outlay, though terms and timing could still shift before construction.

Prospera plans 93 income-restricted for-sale homes across two Miami-Dade sites
Prospera Real Estate Collective is planning Grand Bahamas Place, a five-story, 56-unit condo building on Grand Avenue in Coconut Grove with units restricted to households at or below 80 percent of area median income, plus Faith Place Village, 37 for-sale townhomes near North Miami capped at 120 percent of AMI. The Coconut Grove project secured 4.2 million dollars in Miami Forever bond financing, with condo prices set between 305,000 and 450,000 dollars.
What it may mean for the marketFor-sale income-restricted product remains relatively scarce, so deals pairing church land with bond financing could become a more common path for builders working below market pricing.

MG Developer and Vertical land 100 million dollar construction loan for Alhambra Parc in Coral Gables
MG Developer and Vertical Developments secured a 100 million dollar construction loan from Benmark Capital for Alhambra Parc, an eight-story mixed-use condo project at 33 Alhambra Circle near Miracle Mile. The development is set to include 74 condos, about 18,000 square feet of retail and roughly 14,000 square feet of office space, with construction expected to start in the fall.
What it may mean for the marketConstruction financing closing at this scale may signal continued lender appetite for boutique luxury condo product in Coral Gables despite a broader pricing pullback.

Atlantic Square opens in Overtown as county's largest single-phase mixed-income development
Atlantic Square officially opened at 777 NW 2nd Avenue in Overtown, a 36-story, 616-unit tower described as Miami-Dade's largest single-phase mixed-income transit-oriented development, with 320 workforce units and 40 income-restricted units plus about 25,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. Delivered through a public-private partnership, the project sits next to Brightline's MiamiCentral, Metrorail and Metromover, with a ribbon cutting held June 3.
What it may mean for the marketCo-locating a large share of workforce housing next to multiple transit lines may serve as a template the county points to for future transit-oriented development.

Developer files for 162-acre mixed-use project with warehouses and housing near Miami Gardens
An entity tied to one of the Mas brothers, filed through Landmark QOZB Construction, proposed a roughly 162-acre project in unincorporated Miami-Dade near Miami Gardens. Plans include at least five warehouses totaling about 1.6 million square feet across 90 acres, plus a roughly 7-acre portion designated for 190 income-restricted apartments along with retail and restaurant space.
What it may mean for the marketPairing large-format industrial with an income-restricted housing component may help such applications navigate county review, though the proposal is still at an early pre-application stage.

Inventory falls across coastal Miami markets for first time since 2023 as sales rebound
First-quarter Corcoran reports show single-family and condo inventory dropping across Miami's coastal mainland and the Miami Beach barrier islands, the first significant inventory declines since 2023, while sales rose. On the barrier islands, single-family inventory fell 15 percent to 398 listings and condo inventory dropped 13 percent to 3,919, while coastal mainland single-family sales rose 16 percent to 220 closings.
What it may mean for the marketTightening inventory alongside rising sales in higher-priced coastal segments could point to firmer conditions there, though the data does not cover the full county.

County's first ground-up electric bus operations center in Homestead due to open in 2026
The South Dade Transit Operations Center, on a 20-acre site in Homestead, is described as the nation's first facility built from the ground up specifically for electric buses and the county's first major transit garage in about 40 years. It is designed to support a fleet of 100 zero-emission buses serving the Metro Express line on the South Dade Transitway, and as of March 2026 commissioners extended the completion contract to November.
What it may mean for the marketA dedicated charging and maintenance hub may be a precondition for sustaining the all-electric corridor's service levels as ridership grows.

Miami-Dade mayor vetoes Kelly Tractor industrial headquarters approved outside the UDB
Mayor Daniella Levine Cava vetoed the commission's approval of a 245-acre Kelly Tractor industrial headquarters planned outside the Urban Development Boundary west of Sweetwater, including on more than 160 acres of wetlands. The January 22 approval had come via a text amendment rather than the traditional boundary expansion process, which the mayor said allowed less specificity and did not sufficiently address wetland impacts.
What it may mean for the marketThe veto and pending override vote underscore how contested boundary-edge proposals remain, and the outcome could influence how future projects outside the line are structured.

South Dade Metro Express adds standby buses to handle higher-than-expected ridership
After the Metro Express bus rapid transit line began operating in late October 2025 along the 20-mile South Dade Transitway from Florida City to Dadeland South, the county deployed standby buses to manage ridership that ran well above prior express routes. Early figures cited more than 5,300 weekday riders, roughly 2,500 more than the previous express service.
What it may mean for the marketStronger-than-projected early demand may shape decisions on fleet size and scheduling as the county builds out supporting transit infrastructure along the corridor.
