Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about buying a house in Miami.
QWhat is the average price of a house in Miami in 2026?
The median single-family home price in Miami-Dade County is approximately $680,000 as of Q1 2026, up 9.4% year-over-year. However, prices vary dramatically by neighborhood — from $450,000 in Homestead to $2.8M+ in Key Biscayne. Luxury waterfront estates in Coral Gables and Miami Beach regularly trade above $5M.
QWhat are the best neighborhoods to buy a house in Miami?
For families, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, and Palmetto Bay offer top-rated schools and large lots. For waterfront living, Key Biscayne, Coconut Grove, and Miami Beach provide direct water access. For investment potential, Doral and Homestead offer the strongest appreciation rates due to affordability and population growth.
QIs it a good time to buy a house in Miami in 2026?
Miami's single-family home market remains strong in 2026, driven by continued domestic migration from high-tax states (New York, California, Illinois) and international buyers from Latin America and Europe. While price growth has moderated from the 2021-2022 peak, inventory remains historically low, supporting prices. Buyers who find the right home should act — waiting rarely pays off in Miami.
QHow much do I need for a down payment on a Miami house?
Conventional mortgages require 5-20% down. For homes over $1M (jumbo loans), most lenders require 20-25% down. FHA loans allow 3.5% down for primary residences under $1.1M. Cash buyers (approximately 35% of Miami transactions) have a significant advantage in competitive situations.
QWhat are property taxes on a Miami house?
Miami-Dade County property taxes average 1.02% of assessed value annually. Florida's Homestead Exemption reduces the assessed value by $50,000 for primary residences and caps annual assessment increases at 3% (Save Our Homes). Non-homesteaded properties (investment, vacation homes) can see larger annual increases.
QCan foreigners buy a house in Miami?
Yes — there are no restrictions on foreign nationals buying real estate in Florida. However, FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act) requires withholding 15% of the sale price at closing for foreign sellers. Financing is available for foreign nationals, though typically requires 30-40% down payment and additional documentation.
QWhat is the difference between a house and a condo in Miami?
A house (single-family home) is a detached structure on its own lot — you own both the building and the land. A condo is a unit within a multi-unit building — you own your unit but share ownership of common areas through an HOA. Houses generally offer more space, privacy, and land ownership, while condos offer amenities, lower maintenance, and often better locations at lower price points.
QHow long does it take to buy a house in Miami?
From accepted offer to closing typically takes 30-45 days for financed purchases, or 14-21 days for cash buyers. The search process varies widely — competitive neighborhoods like Coral Gables may require touring 10-20 homes before finding the right fit. Budget 2-4 months total from starting your search to moving in.
