Jon's Current Read

"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."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

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?

4/10
Buyer

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.

4/10
Seller

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.

4/10
Investor

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 millage17.593 mills (~1.76% before exemptions)
Avg. homeowners insurance$1,891/yr (Citizens county avg)
Homestead exemptionUp 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.

Lifestyle in Miami-Dade County

Few places offer more: South Beach and the Art Deco District, the Brickell skyline, Wynwood's murals and galleries, Little Havana's Calle Ocho, and miles of Atlantic beaches. 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.

    Miami civic center at Freedom Park tops off ahead of a spring 2028 target

    Construction workers topped off the eight story, 257,000 square foot Miami civic center at Miami Freedom Park on July 10, and the city confirmed it received the construction permit on July 1. Adler Development is the developer and Moss Construction the general contractor, with completion targeted for spring 2028 and a separate 20 million dollar pedestrian bridge to the Metrorail station under construction. The building would consolidate city administrative functions now split between a downtown office building and City Hall at 3500 Pan American Drive.

    What it may mean for the marketA large civic anchor near Miami International Airport could shift some trip patterns and office demand over the next several years, though effects that far from south Dade may be limited.

    A 30 million dollar penthouse contract sets a Miami River price record

    KAR Properties and Fortune International Group put a penthouse at their Faena branded Miami River project under contract for 30 million dollars, roughly 3,700 dollars per square foot, which The Real Deal reports as a record for the area on both price and price per square foot. The duplex covers 8,200 square feet of interior space plus 7,000 square feet outdoors. The 440 unit, two tower project at 90 Southwest Third Street has not started construction.

    What it may mean for the marketPresale records at the top of the condo market may say little about pricing elsewhere in Miami-Dade, and historically the two segments have moved on different cycles.

    Retail & Dining

    Coconut Grove retail asking rents topped 110 dollars per square foot in the second quarter

    Colliers data cited by The Real Deal put average direct asking retail rents in Coconut Grove above 110 dollars per square foot in the second quarter of 2026, among the highest of any Miami-Dade submarket and more than double the 45.50 dollar average of a decade ago. Brokers attribute the increase to limited available retail inventory against rising leasing demand. Several long running restaurant tenants have closed or relocated as leases reset at higher rates.

    What it may mean for the marketRetail rent growth concentrated in a single submarket may not carry across the county, though it is one indicator of how tight ground floor supply can reprice tenants over a lease cycle.

    County advances a same day permitting ordinance for some residential applications

    Miami-Dade's Policy Council advanced an ordinance from Chairman Anthony Rodriguez that would require the county to run a same day permitting program for eligible residential applications, with financial penalties on the county itself when it misses those deadlines because of county delay. The measure would also require a performance report every six months. It is scheduled for final commission action on July 21 and has not been adopted.

    What it may mean for the marketIf the ordinance clears final action, owners planning smaller residential work may see more predictable permit timing, though the practical change could be modest where same day review already happens.

    County committee scheduled to vote on a 3.5 million dollar purchase of 10 acres in the South Dade Wetlands

    Miami-Dade is moving toward buying 10 acres inside the South Dade Wetlands Project at Southwest 344th Street and Southwest 169th Avenue for 3.5 million dollars from the estate of Rachel M. Noto. Funding would come from the Environmentally Endangered Lands Program, which held a 12.5 million dollar balance before the purchase, and the county intends to seek a 10 percent reimbursement from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The Recreation, Tourism and Resiliency Committee was scheduled to vote, so this is an agenda item rather than a completed acquisition.

    What it may mean for the marketContinued public acquisition inside the South Dade Wetlands may gradually reduce developable acreage beyond the urban edge, which historically has shaped where new residential supply can go in the far south of the county.

    Foundation pour finished at Twenty Sixth & 2nd in Wynwood

    PMG and LNDMRK Development completed the foundation pour for Twenty Sixth & 2nd Wynwood Residences, an eight story mixed use building at 2600 NW 2nd Avenue, and a tower crane has since been erected. The project will deliver 233 finished and furnished studio and one bedroom residences plus about 26,000 square feet of ground floor retail. Cube 3 designed it, John Moriarty & Associates is the builder, and completion is anticipated in the second quarter of 2028.

    What it may mean for the marketSteady vertical construction starts in the urban core may keep contractor and materials capacity tight countywide, which historically has shown up in build timelines elsewhere in Miami-Dade.

    West Perrine apartment project lands a 43 million dollar construction loan

    Perrine Estates LLC, an affiliate of Monceau Realty, secured a 43 million dollar construction loan for a 192 unit apartment project on a vacant 1.47 acre parcel at Banyan Street and Homestead Avenue in West Perrine. About 12.5 percent of the units are set aside as county workforce housing, which Miami-Dade defines as 60 to 140 percent of area median income. The plan also carries roughly 2,000 square feet of retail.

    What it may mean for the marketClosed construction financing is a further step than a filing, so this project may move toward vertical work sooner than proposals still in review. Added rental supply along the US 1 corridor could gradually widen options for south Dade renters.

    County zoning board clears a rezoning for 300 student beds near the university

    The Miami-Dade Community Zoning Appeals Board approved a rezoning of a 2.89 acre site at 6280 SW 57th Avenue, clearing the way for Vox on Red, a six story, 117 unit project holding about 300 student beds. Treo Group affiliate TTG 57 LLC bought the site for 10.2 million dollars in 2024, and a 1930s house on the property is slated to be folded into the plan. The developer still needs permits from several agencies before work can begin.

    What it may mean for the marketPurpose built student housing could ease some pressure on nearby rental stock over time, though permitting means any effect would be several years out.

    Allapattah tower plan would set 40 percent of units at 120 percent of AMI

    Developers Cipres and Medio Tiempo revealed plans for The Pattah, a 20 story, 280 unit building with about 310,000 square feet of construction and 9,300 square feet of ground floor retail near 1219 NW 35th Street. Of the units, 112, or 40 percent, would serve households earning up to 120 percent of area median income. The team assembled the 0.73 acre, four parcel site for 3.48 million dollars between 2019 and 2025 and had not yet filed a formal application as of publication.

    What it may mean for the marketThe 40 percent set aside tracks the threshold associated with Live Local Act benefits, and similar income restricted proposals have historically drawn on state or county incentives. No application was on file at publication, so this is early stage.

    Miami commissioners approve the county plan to revive the Coconut Grove Playhouse

    Miami city commissioners granted five zoning exceptions and four waivers for Miami-Dade County's redevelopment of the shuttered Coconut Grove Playhouse at 3498-3500 Main Highway, overruling the city's Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board, which had rejected the application in May. The plan restores the 1926 facade and adds a 310 seat theater, about 2,600 square feet of retail, 3,800 square feet of food and beverage space, 28,000 square feet of offices and a 289 space garage. The budget is 58.4 million dollars, drawn largely from county bonds and infrastructure funds.

    What it may mean for the marketThe vote clears a significant permitting hurdle on a site that has sat closed for two decades, though opponents could still challenge it in court and remaining permits are outstanding. Delivery of a public venue of this type has historically been associated with added foot traffic for surrounding commercial space.

    Filled in Kendall lake site slated for a 234 apartment project

    Plans have surfaced for Eurus at Kendall Apartments, a six story building of roughly 280,000 square feet with 234 apartments on the north side of Southwest 132nd Street in Kendall. Fourteen units, about 6 percent, would be designated workforce housing under the county's 60 to 140 percent of AMI standard. Of the 5.4 acre site, 3.7 acres is a lake that has been undergoing infill since 2018.

    What it may mean for the marketThe project reflects continued reuse of unconventional infill parcels in built out parts of the county. It remains at the plan stage, so timing could shift.

    Dallas investor Tabani Group revealed as the 26 million dollar Wynwood Jungle buyer

    Tabani Group, a Dallas based investment firm with a portfolio of about 1 billion dollars, was identified as the buyer that paid 25.7 million dollars for the Wynwood Jungle retail complex at 43-75 Northwest 23rd Street in Miami. The firm borrowed 15.7 million dollars from Frost Bank for the purchase of the roughly 39,000 square foot plaza, which was about half vacant at closing.

    Miami Freedom Park redevelopment draws a 193 million dollar construction permit

    A weekly South Florida permit roundup shows a 193 million dollar new construction permit for 1822 Northwest 37th Avenue in Miami, tied to the Miami Freedom Park redevelopment near the airport. The plan includes more than 1 million square feet of retail, dining, entertainment and office space, 750 hotel rooms, a 58-acre public park and a new City of Miami administration building. The permits covered were issued between July 1 and July 7, 2026.

New York, New Jersey and California were the leading origin states.

    What it may mean for the marketSustained in-migration of this kind has historically supported housing demand across Miami-Dade, though license exchanges do not translate one to one into purchases.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

Is Miami-Dade County a buyer's or seller's market?
As of April 2026, Miami-Dade County is a balanced market. Homes are taking a median of 83 days to sell, and inventory has rebuilt from its lows, giving buyers more room to negotiate than in recent years.
Is Miami-Dade County expensive?

Are property taxes high in Miami-Dade County?

How much is homeowners insurance in Miami-Dade County?
The Citizens county-average premium is about $1,891 a year, but your actual cost depends heavily on the home's age, roof, construction, and flood zone. Wind-mitigation credits can lower it; flood insurance is priced separately by address.
Is Miami-Dade County a good place to invest in real estate?
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.
Is Miami-Dade County growing?
Miami-Dade County has about 2,685,296 residents and is still drawing net in-migration of people and income. Migration and jobs are the forces most likely to support prices through the rate cycle.
How long do homes take to sell in Miami-Dade County?
A median of about 83 days on market as of April 2026, longer than the 2021-2022 frenzy and a sign of today's more balanced conditions.
What are the best areas to live in Miami-Dade County?
The county seat, Miami, anchors the market, and the right area depends on whether you prioritize schools, commute, the water, or new construction. Our neighborhood guides map each on price, schools, and lifestyle.
What is the price per square foot in Miami-Dade County?
Listings in Miami-Dade County are priced around the area's median per-square-foot rate as of April 2026; smaller, older, and inland homes run below it, while new construction and waterfront run above. Per-square-foot is most useful within a single neighborhood, not across the whole county.

As a rough rule, a buyer needs household income roughly in line with the county's price-to-income ratio of 7.6× the home price, keeping total housing costs near 30% of income. Median household income here is $68,694. A lender pre-approval gives you the exact figure for your situation.
Is now a good time to buy in Miami-Dade County?
It depends on your horizon. For buyers planning to stay several years, today's balanced market conditions — more inventory and routine price cuts — offer better terms than the 2021-2022 peak. For short-term flips, flat appreciation makes the math tight. The right answer is specific to the home and your timeline.
Do I need flood insurance in Miami-Dade County?
It depends on the address. Homes in FEMA high-risk flood zones (A or V) typically require flood insurance with a federally backed mortgage, and even outside those zones it can be worth carrying in low-lying or coastal parts of Miami-Dade County. Flood premiums are priced separately by address under FEMA Risk Rating 2.0, so always check the flood zone before you buy.
Is Miami-Dade County a good place to retire?
Florida's lack of a state income tax and the homestead/Save Our Homes protections make Miami-Dade County attractive for retirees on a fixed income, especially in its 55+ and lower-maintenance communities. Weigh that against insurance costs and proximity to healthcare when you choose a specific area.
How fast are home prices rising in Miami-Dade County?
Over the past year, the typical Miami-Dade County home value moved -2.7%. Over five years it is +7.5% and over ten years +7.1% — so the long-run trend is up even though near-term growth has cooled.
What is the cost of living in Miami-Dade County?
Housing, insurance, and property tax are the main local cost drivers; Florida charges no state income tax. A median-priced home runs about $3,831 a month all-in (mortgage, tax, and insurance), against median household income of $68,694 a year. Utilities, transportation, and healthcare track close to state averages.
What are the risks of buying in Miami-Dade County?
The main ones are hurricane and flood exposure (which drive insurance costs), rising premiums statewide, and — in fast-growing submarkets — overbuilding that can soften resale and rents. On older condos, ask about reserves and special assessments. None are dealbreakers, but all belong in your budget before you offer.
Is Miami-Dade County good for real estate investors?
Miami-Dade County's estimated cap rate is about 6.6% with a gross yield near 6.6%, so it leans cash-flow-friendly. Net migration and the local job base are the demand signals that matter most for landlords here.

Why is Miami-Dade so expensive?
It is a global city with finite waterfront, intense international and out-of-state demand, a recent finance-and-tech migration, and no state income tax. Price-to-income is the highest of any large Florida county, and insurance plus condo carrying costs add to the true cost — which is why the market is so two-speed between the global-buyer high end and a pressured mid-market.
What should I know about buying a condo in Miami-Dade after Surfside?
Since the 2021 Champlain Towers collapse, Florida requires older condo buildings to fund structural reserves and complete milestone inspections, which has triggered large special assessments at many associations. Before buying any older coastal condo, review the reserve study, recent assessments, and inspection status — they can change the true cost dramatically.
