Miami-Dade Housing Market – Q1 2026 Overview
The first quarter of 2026 (January–March) shows a Miami-Dade real estate market that continues transitioning into a more balanced environment after several years of extreme demand and limited inventory.
According to the latest MIAMI Association of REALTORS® data, the market remains active, but buyers now have more leverage due to rising inventory and longer selling timelines.
Overall, prices are stable to slightly up in single-family homes, while the condo market is softer and more buyer-friendly.

- Median Sale Price: $680,000 (▲ ~1.8% YoY) (MIAMI REALTORS®)

- Median Time to Sale: 98 days (Florida Realtors)
- Closed Sales: ~18,000–19,000 (quarter est. based on monthly trend)
- Months Supply of Inventory: ~6.0–6.4 months (approaching balanced market)
What This Means
The single-family market in Miami-Dade continues to show resilience in pricing, with slight year-over-year gains.
However, conditions are clearly shifting:
- Homes are taking longer to sell

With roughly 6+ months of supply, the market is now close to a balanced environment, meaning negotiation opportunities are increasing for buyers.

With double-digit months of supply, condos are one of the most opportunity-rich segments for buyers right now.
