📉 Miami Real Estate – June 2025: A Buyer’s Market With Teeth

For years, Miami was a seller’s dream — fast offers, bidding wars, and skyrocketing prices. But now? We’ve entered a new era. The market is cooling, listings are piling up, and buyers finally hold the power.

If you’ve been waiting to make your move, the time is now.

🔻 Prices Are Sliding, Not Crashing

  • Miami-Dade median prices are down about 5% year-over-year, with the biggest drops in condos and older homes.

  • Florida statewide prices dipped around 0.7%, marking the first meaningful cooling since the pandemic boom.

  • In buildings with rising HOA fees or deferred maintenance, prices are falling even faster — some down 7–10%.

👉 Interpretation: This isn’t a collapse — it’s a long-overdue correction. And it’s creating room to negotiate.

🏘️ Inventory Is Up. Way Up.

  • Active listings in Miami-Dade are up ~46% YoY.

  • Condo supply has ballooned to over 14 months, giving buyers more leverage than we've seen in a decade.

  • Single-family homes have about 6–7 months of supply — still technically a buyer’s market.

More homes, longer time on market, and more motivated sellers = opportunity.

📉 Sales Have Slowed Sharply

  • Overall home sales dropped 20% YoY.

  • Condo sales? Down 25%.

  • Homes are sitting longer on the market, which means more chances to negotiate on price, closing costs, or inspection issues.

This slowdown isn’t a bad sign — it’s an invitation for strategic buyers to take the lead.

⚠️ Conditions You Can Use to Your Advantage

  • Interest rates are still hovering around 6.5–7%, which keeps the buyer pool smaller and competition lower.

  • Insurance premiums and HOA assessments have increased, particularly for older buildings — giving you leverage in negotiations.

  • Some sellers are facing financial pressure to offload properties now rather than wait.

If you come prepared — pre-approved, informed, and flexible — you’ll have the edge.

🧠 What This Means for You

This market favors buyers with vision and strategy. It’s not about rushing — it’s about recognizing value when others hesitate.

If you’re considering buying, this is your chance to lock in a deal that would have been impossible just a year ago.

If you're selling, a thoughtful strategy — realistic pricing, great presentation, and transparency — will still move the right property.

If you'd like to understand what this market shift means for your situation, I’m here to help. Whether you're buying, selling, or just trying to figure out your next move, I’m happy to offer a personalized, no-pressure consultation.

🏡 Miami Real Estate Market – May 2025 Recap

If you've been keeping an eye on the Miami market — or just wondering if it's a good time to make a move — here's what happened in May.

We're seeing a clear shift. The pace has slowed, but not in a bad way. After the intensity of the past few years, the market is now more balanced. Buyers have more breathing room, and sellers are adjusting expectations. It’s a healthier environment overall.

📊 By the Numbers:

  • Median home value: $595,318 (up 1.4% year-over-year)

  • Median sale price: $586,667

  • Median list price: $681,483

  • Average days on market: 73

Prices are holding relatively steady, but properties are taking longer to sell — especially in the mid-tier range.

🧭 What This Means:

For buyers:
This is a good time to act if you’ve been waiting. More inventory means more options and slightly more negotiating power. The frantic bidding wars have cooled, especially under $1M, and you now have time to make considered decisions.

For sellers:
If you're thinking of listing, strategy is everything. The homes that are priced correctly and presented well are still selling. Overpricing or skipping staging? That's where you’ll feel the slowdown.

For investors:
Short-term rentals continue to be profitable in the right areas, but zoning restrictions are tightening. If you're looking for an investment property, it's crucial to make sure the location aligns with permitted use — and that the numbers still work with current pricing and financing.

✍️ Final Thought:

We're in a moment of recalibration — and that’s not a bad thing. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just weighing your options, understanding the current climate helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.
