Ten Consecutive Months of Sales Growth

Miami-Dade County's housing market has now recorded sales growth for ten consecutive months. In June 2026, total existing-home transactions reached 2,107 — a 14.3% increase from June 2025 and the strongest June performance the market has posted since 2023. The data, released by the Miami Association of Realtors, reflects a market that has absorbed elevated mortgage rates without losing momentum, supported by a buyer base that is unusually independent of financing.

Single-family home sales led the recovery, rising 16.8% year over year to 1,049 closings. Condominium transactions increased 12.0% to 1,058. The upper end of the market was particularly active: sales of homes priced at $1 million or more jumped 29.1% from a year ago, confirming that luxury demand remains the engine driving Miami's outperformance relative to the national market.

Price Trends: Single-Family Holds, Condos Soften

The divergence between single-family and condominium pricing is one of the defining features of Miami's current market cycle.

Segment · June 2026 Median Price · Year-over-Year Change · Appreciation Since 2011

--- · --- · --- · ---

Single-Family Homes · $695,000 · +3.7% · +300%+

Condominiums · $431,000 · -3.2% · +278%

Single-family prices have now increased in 172 of the past 175 months — one of the longest appreciation streaks recorded in any major U.S. market. The median price of $695,000 represents a more than threefold increase from 2011 levels.

Condominium prices declined 3.2% year over year to $431,000, continuing a modest correction after several years of rapid appreciation. The pullback is not a sign of structural weakness — condo values have risen 278% since 2011 and have remained stable or increased in 165 of the past 181 months — but it does reflect the impact of rising HOA fees, new reserve requirements following the Surfside collapse legislation, and a supply overhang in certain price bands.

Inventory: Tight for Houses, Elevated for Condos

The inventory picture tells two very different stories depending on which segment you are watching.

Single-family inventory fell 22.7% year over year to 4,380 homes, leaving the market with just 4.9 months of supply. That is firmly in seller's market territory. Buyers competing for single-family homes in Miami-Dade are doing so in a constrained environment where well-priced listings move quickly.

Condominium inventory declined 11.5% to 11,550 units — its fifth consecutive annual decline — but at 12.3 months of supply, the condo market remains in buyer's market territory. The six-to-nine month range is generally considered balanced; anything above that gives buyers more negotiating leverage. For condo investors, this means that price discovery is still happening and that well-positioned units at the right price point will attract buyers, but overpriced listings will sit.

The Cash Buyer Advantage

Miami's cash buyer concentration is a structural feature of the market that consistently separates it from most U.S. cities.

In June 2026, cash transactions accounted for 38.1% of all residential closings — well above the national average of approximately 25%. In the condominium segment, nearly half of all purchases (48.5%) were completed without financing. For single-family homes, the cash share was 27.6%.

The practical implication for sellers is that a significant portion of the buyer pool is insulated from mortgage rate movements. When the Federal Reserve holds rates elevated, Miami's market does not slow at the same rate as markets where 80% of buyers depend on financing. This structural resilience is one reason Miami has continued to post transaction growth even as national pending home sales have declined.

Dollar Volume: $2.4 Billion in a Single Month

Total residential dollar volume in Miami-Dade surged 36.4% year over year to $2.4 billion in June. Single-family dollar volume climbed nearly 40% to $1.5 billion. Condominium dollar volume increased 31.5% to approximately $940 million.

To put that in context: Miami-Dade is generating roughly $2.4 billion in residential real estate transactions every month. That is the output of a mature, liquid market with deep international demand — not a secondary market that happens to have nice weather.

International Demand and the New Construction Premium

The figures above capture only existing-home sales through the MLS. They do not include the substantial volume of new construction, pre-construction, and condominium conversion transactions that occur outside the MLS — a segment where international buyers are particularly active.

According to Miami Realtors' New Construction Global Sales Reports, international buyers accounted for 49% of South Florida's new-construction and pre-construction purchases over an 18-month period ending in July 2025. A subsequent report found demand expanding further, with buyers representing 73 countries. For pre-construction investors, this international buyer pool provides a meaningful exit market when projects deliver.

What the Data Means for Investors

Several conclusions emerge from the June 2026 data for investors evaluating Miami-Dade:

Single-family homes remain in a supply-constrained seller's market. With 4.9 months of inventory and prices up 3.7% year over year, this segment offers limited negotiating room for buyers but strong hold value for owners.

The condo market is bifurcated. Luxury condos priced above $1 million are selling at a 29.1% higher rate than a year ago. Mid-market condos in the $300,000–$600,000 range also showed healthy demand, with sales up 8.7%. The softness is concentrated in the oversupplied segments of the market, not across the board.

Cash is king. With 48.5% of condo purchases completed in cash, buyers who can transact without financing have a material competitive advantage — both in speed of closing and in their ability to purchase in buildings that do not qualify for conventional financing.

Distressed inventory is essentially nonexistent. Foreclosures and short sales represented just 0.5% of all transactions in June. Miami homeowners are not under financial stress, which means forced selling is not a factor that will create buying opportunities in the near term.

Equity accumulation is exceptional. Miami-Dade homeowners who purchased 15 years ago have a median equity position approaching $561,000 — nearly double the national median. The long-term case for ownership in this market remains intact.
