Miami / Fort Lauderdale, FL housing market

Miami / Fort Lauderdale, FL median sale price $650K (Miami only) in Jul–Sep 2026, up 4.8% year over year.

The median sale price in Miami / Fort Lauderdale, FL is $650K over Jul–Sep 2026, up 4.8% from the same 3 months a year earlier. Miami only. Our metro figure needs every county in the metro, and our closed-sale source is missing one. The gain is larger than in most of the 383 U.S. metros Pecan Street ranks on this measure. FHFA's repeat-sales index for the metro shows a smaller change, up 1.3% through Q2 2026, 3.5 points apart; Price reconciliation below shows both.

Miami / Fort Lauderdale has the highest median sale price of the 22 Florida metros Pecan Street tracks ($650K), ahead of Naples ($604K). On median days on market, Miami / Fort Lauderdale (85 days) ranks 9th of the 22 Florida metros, between Sebastian (87 days) and Gainesville (82 days). On share of listings with a price cut, Miami / Fort Lauderdale (22%) ranks 21st of the 22 Florida metros, between Sebastian (24%) and Naples (18%).

Listings spent a median 85 days on market in Sep 2026, the 24th-most of the 385 metros. 22% of active listings carry a price cut; the 3-month average vs a year earlier is 2.3 points lower. That share is the 14th-lowest of the 385 metros. Building permits authorized 1,862 new housing units in Sep 2026.

At the 7.12% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, principal and interest on a median-priced home come to $3,498 a month; at 28% of gross income, that takes about $150K a year. The median sale price equals about 17 years of HUD Fair Market Rent, a ratio unchanged from a year earlier. That ratio is higher than in most of the 373 metros. Active listings ask a median $355 per square foot; the 3-month average vs a year earlier is down 0.7%.

In 11 of the 12 ZIP codes in the table below, median list prices are lower than a year earlier; one is higher.

Price-to-rent↑127th of 373 (top 35%)

Rank across the U.S. metros Pecan Street tracks, on market data alone — a higher rank means more of that measure (more price cuts, faster price growth, a wider asking-vs-sale gap, a higher price-to-rent ratio, or more days on market). The bar shows where this metro sits within that metric’s own cohort (left is more, right is less); ↑ and ↓ mark the positions furthest from the middle, and rows are ordered the same way. Metrics without data for this metro are omitted.

Price-to-rent ratio≈ 17 0.0% YoY
↑127th of 373 (top 35%)
Asking price / sq ft$355 -0.7% 3-month average vs a year earlier

Price-to-rent divides the median sale price by the annual HUD Fair Market Rent (a 3-bedroom, 40th-percentile benchmark), so it is a directional rent-vs-buy read, not a cap rate; its year-over-year change is directional in the same way. Asking price per square foot is the median across active for-sale listings (Realtor.com), as of Sep 2026. The bar under a figure places this metro among the U.S. metros we track on that measure, highest first.

Market pressure

Listings with a price cut≈ 22% -2.3 pts 3-month average vs a year earlier
↓372nd of 385
New housing units permitted1,862

Price-cut share is the portion of active for-sale listings that have taken a price reduction (Realtor.com), as of Sep 2026. New housing units authorized by residential building permits in the metro that month — new supply in the pipeline, which counts of existing listings don't capture (US Census Bureau, Building Permits Survey), as of Sep 2026. The bar under a figure places this metro among the U.S. metros we track on that measure, highest first.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Building Permits Survey · data through September 2026

Builders in the Miami / Fort Lauderdale metro area pulled 5,905 single-family permits in the twelve months through September 2026, 16.8% more than in the twelve months before. So far in 2026, permits are running 12.7% above the same months of 2025.

Why it matters. Permits come before starts, and starts come before new homes for sale, so this is the earliest read on how much new building is planned in the Miami / Fort Lauderdale area. When the permit pipeline shrinks, buyers see fewer new-build options later; when it grows, sellers of existing homes face more competition from builders.

Source: FHFA house price index; recession dates from NBER · data through Q2 2026

FHFA's all-transactions index for the Miami / Fort Lauderdale metro area in the second quarter of 2026 was 1.3% above its level a year earlier. Since 1976, prices have risen an average of 6.5% a year. That is the weakest reading since the second quarter of 2012. Nationally, prices were 3.0% higher than a year earlier.

Why it matters. Long-run context shows how the latest change in Miami / Fort Lauderdale home prices compares with the market's own history, including the recessions shaded on the chart. When appreciation slows, sellers have less room for a list price to run ahead of recent sales, and buyers feel less pressure to stretch to keep up; when it speeds up, the reverse holds: list prices can run ahead of recent sales and buyers compete harder.
