Miami-Dade just posted its best June in three years. According to official June 2026 statistics released by MIAMI REALTORS® + RWorld, the MIAMI MLS, and BeachesMLS, total home sales rose 14.3% year over year, reaching 2,107 transactions. That marks the 10th consecutive month of year-over-year growth — a clear sign that Miami's real estate market remains strong despite elevated mortgage rates.
I want to break down what these numbers actually mean:
The numbers you should know
Why is the market still climbing?
According to Alfredo Pujol, Chairman of the Board of MIAMI REALTORS® + RWorld, cash buyers, wealth migration, and robust global demand continue to fuel Miami real estate. June also coincided with the FIFA World Cup, which brought thousands of international visitors to Miami — many of whom, Pujol notes, saw firsthand why so many companies and executives are relocating here.
Prices: still rising, but differently depending on property type
Inventory: a market moving at two speeds
Here's one of the most important data points for buyers and sellers: total active listings fell 14.9% year over year. But the story is very different depending on the segment:
That means if you're thinking about selling a single-family home, conditions are working in your favor. If you're shopping for a condo, you have more options and more negotiating leverage than you've had in recent years.
A key detail on condo financing
Only 21 of the 2,397 condo buildings across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties are FHA-approved — just 0.9%. On top of that, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are eliminating the limited review option for many condo loans starting August 3, 2026. If you're considering a condo purchase, it's more important than ever to work with an agent and lender who understand these requirements.
Cash buyers still dominate
38.1% of closed sales in Miami in June were cash transactions, compared to 25% nationally. For existing condos, nearly half (48.5%) of sales were cash — a reflection of strong interest from international buyers and those relocating from more expensive U.S. markets.
What does this mean for you?
If you're thinking about selling a single-family home, this is an excellent time: low supply, high demand, and rising prices.
If you're thinking about buying a condo, you have more inventory to choose from and more room to negotiate — but it's essential to understand the financing landscape before making a move.
If you're an investor or international buyer, Miami remains a surprisingly good value compared to other global cities: $1 million buys you 58 square meters in Miami, nearly double what you'd get in New York or London, according to the 2026 Knight Frank Wealth Report.
