Miami’s Market: A Global Hotspot

‍

Miami’s allure as a top destination for domestic and international buyers remains unmatched, fueled by zero state income tax, a thriving economy (2.4% job growth projected for 2025), and its status as a hub for finance, tech, and culture. High-net-worth individuals from New York, California, Latin America, and Europe continue to drive demand, with 8.7% of international homebuyer traffic in Q1 2025 targeting Miami.

Current Market Snapshot

‍

Single-Family Homes: Strong Seller’s Market

‍

• Median Price: $670,000 in April 2025, up 3.9% from last year.
• Inventory: 4.4-month supply, indicating a competitive seller’s market.
• Sales Trends: Sales dropped 13.5% year-over-year in April 2025 (415 homes sold vs. 480 in 2024), but demand remains strong due to limited inventory.

‍

Condos: A Buyer’s Advantage

‍

• Median Price: $436,354 in November 2024, up 3.9% year-over-year, but a 13.2-month supply signals a buyer’s market.
• Inventory: 9,812 homes for sale in May 2025, up 8.2% from April, with condos driving the surge.
• Sales Trends: Condo sales fell 5.4% year-over-year in March 2025, with homes taking 91 days to sell (up from 73 days in 2024).
• Why It Matters: Rising inventory and new regulations (e.g., Building Safety Act) create opportunities for buyers to negotiate deals, with average discounts of 6% on closed sales.

Luxury Market: Unstoppable Growth

‍

• Ultra-Luxury Surge: Sales of homes $1M+ jumped 9.5% in May 2024, with waterfront properties and new developments like 888 Dolce & Gabbana and Bentley Residences commanding $1,000+ per square foot.
• Key Areas: Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Miami Beach, and Sunny Isles Beach lead the luxury segment.
• Why It Matters: For high-net-worth clients, we offer exclusive access to pre-construction and off-market listings, ensuring maximum appreciation potential.

Key Drivers Fueling Miami’s Market

‍

• Lower Mortgage Rates: Rates fell to 6.6% in late 2024 and are projected to hit 5.7% by year-end 2025, boosting affordability.
• Cash Dominance: 40.8% of sales in February 2025 were cash, with 54.3% of condo sales cash-driven, far above the national 32% average.
• In-Migration: An 8.3% increase in driver’s license exchanges in 2023 reflects strong population growth, sustaining housing demand.
• Economic Impact: Each home sale generates ~$123,000 in economic activity, with Miami-Dade’s November 2024 sales contributing $185M to the local economy.

‍

Challenges to Navigate

‍

• Condo Market Softness: High HOA fees, rising insurance premiums, and new condo regulations are cooling demand for older properties.
• Climate Risks: 53% of properties face severe flooding risk over 30 years, and 100% are at risk of severe wind events.
• Potential Correction: Inventory spikes (51,000 homes for sale in March 2025) and a 50% drop in sales from the pandemic peak signal a slowdown, but prices remain resilient.
