Another option to reconsider would be Austin, Texas, where the prices have sky-rocketed by 354%.

You’ll need to pay an average of $2,900 to rent a one-bedroom apartment in Miami. A two-bedroom rental will cost you about $4,000.

(Yahoo Finance)

Homes in the greater Miami and Fort Lauderdale housing market have become more and more expensive, and this is simply a reflection of the rising popularity of Florida’s real estate. Namely, Florida’s residential market value has hit $3.62 trillion. One of the reasons is the fact that the state witnessed the largest increase in population in 2022 in the entire US.  


5. As of February 2023, the Miami home price index stands at 400.64, which is 9.7% higher than 2022.

(Ycharts)

The home price index is an indicator of changes in existing, residential single-family home prices in 20 US metropolitan areas.

The home price index in Miami, Florida has been on a constant rise since 2019, when it jumped from 241.01 on January 31, 2019, to a record-high of 406.76 on July 31, 2022. 

However, in August 2022, Miami's house index started to drop again, and it currently stands at 400.64 (as of February 2023, the most recent information).

In 2022, American billionaire and hedge-fund manager, Ken Griffin, bought a house in Coconut Grove from Adrienne Arsht for nearly $107 million, setting a new record in Miami-Dade County. 

For comparison’s sake, let’s remind ourselves that average Miami home prices are closer to $549,154.

7. Fisher Island has the most expensive zip code in Florida.

(CNBC) (RealtyHop

If you want to have ZIP code 33109, be prepared for high Miami real estate prices as the median home sale price in Fisher Island in 2022 stood at $6,100,000. 

As a matter of fact, Fisher Island has the 5th most expensive ZIP code in the U.S., right behind Boston 02199, Beverly Hills 90210, Sagaponack 11962, and Atherton 94027. It’s the most expensive zipcode in the Southern U.S.


8. Miami’s luxury condo market is cyclical — there are high and low seasons every year.

(Condo Blackbook)

The peak of high season comes in the second quarter of the year, so it really pays off to keep in touch with the latest information on the condo market. If you are interested in buying or selling, we also recommend you work with a licensed real estate agent who understands Miami’s seasonal real estate cycles.

— What Makes Miami Real Estate So Popular?

In our Miami real estate market analysis, it’s only fair to discuss its incredible and coveted lifestyle and mention a few reasons why Miami is one of the best places to live, not only in the State of Florida, but in the entire U.S. In fact, Miami is also becoming a top international destination city as well. 


10. Miami is the #1 U.S. city for expats.

(CNBC) (InterNations)

According to an InterNations's survey, the Magic City is an ideal destination for expats. Namely, it ranked as the top U.S. city (ahead of New York City) for international people to choose to relocate to (thus getting ahead of New York City in one more respect) And 85% of the surveyed expats stated they are satisfied with life in Miami. The city also ranks 12th overall in the list of the 50 best cities for expats to work and live in, and sixth in the culture and welcome subcategory. 

As you may have guessed, Miami’s Career Prospects is a high 5th position.


11. In 2023, Miami Beach was named the best suburb for young professionals in all of Florida.

(Niche) (City of Miami Beach) (RentCafe)

It seems that Miami Beach has it all — a strong tourism industry that opens the door to many freelancers and entrepreneurs, a trendsetting art scene, excellent conditions for opening a business, high walkability, and of course, an idyllic lifestyle

However, you should also know that the Miami Beach average rent stands at $2,943, which is nearly double the average U.S. rent — $1,967 is the median monthly rent for Americans.

Miami Beach rent is also a tad higher from the average rent in Miami — $2,900.

(Statista) (Statista)

When it comes to real-estate purchase recommendations, 44% of industry experts believe Miami to be a good place to buy an office property in 2023. 

The situation is similar in the case of retail recommendations, where 48% of industry experts agree that Miami is a good starting point. 


13. Looking at major U.S. cities, Miami is the most pet-friendly one.

(Apartment Guide)

Overall, the best American cities for pets are Sarasota, Fl. and Lancaster, Pa., while Miami ranks third. But neither of these are major U.S. cities, so we can conclude it’s the best for pet lovers living in big cities. With 90 grooming facilities, about 157 parks, and over 150 vets/animal hospitals, Miami is truly a haven for pet parents!


— Miami Real Estate Trends for 2023 and Beyond

In addition to 306 condos, this incredible condominium will also have a 5-star hotel on its premises.

Waldorf Astoria Miami


15. Based on Miami real estate market 2023 forecasts, the Magic City is ranking 2nd place on the global list of luxury real estate markets with the highest increase in prices.

(Condo Blackbook

Florida has the highest percentage of international buyers per state, according to the Coldwell Banker report. 24% of foreign real estate buyers choose Florida. California is their second-best pick, as 11% of foreign investors are interested in buying property in the Golden State.


19. Is the Miami real estate market crash happening in 2023? Definitely not — the Miami market is thriving.

(Condo Blackbook)

Miami property prices are continuing to increase in 2023. Miami is one of the most popular cities among global expats. One in four international buyers are extremely interested in investing into a condo purchase, and domestic buyers are continuing their post-covid home shopping spree.

All things considered, while many may say there is a Miami real estate bubble, given these facts, and the demand of buyers moving into Miami, we are not in a bubble, so there is nothing to burst.

— FAQs


Is Miami a buyer or seller market?

At the moment, Miami is navigating towards a balanced market after several cycles in a seller market. Bear in mind the Miami market is unique in so many ways and the high influx of buyers is continuing. For this reason, the expectations are that the housing supply increases by about 20%, and 30,000 more units are to be built in the next 24 to 36 months.


Is the Miami real estate market cooling?

Not really. The Miami housing market will most likely avoid 2023's home purchase price corrections occurring throughout the nation, i.e. Miami prices won’t likely be dropping. The minimum expected growth is +0.8% on an annual level. 

It’s worth keeping in mind however, that 2022 was an absolute record year for the Miami housing market. So, while some may say the Miami real estate market is “cooling,” it’s all relative to the strongest year in the city’s history. So far, 2023 market statistics are stronger than any year before 2023. 


What is the outlook for real estate in Miami?

The future looks bright for the Miami real estate market. With a continuous increase in both the population and property value, Miami is one of the top real estate markets, not just in the U.S., but globally. 

The increase in property value is an astonishing 292% (in the last 25 years) and the prices are far from cooling off in 2023. What is more, the demand keeps rising as both domestic and international buyers are keen on purchasing a second home in one of Florida’s most beautiful cities.
