Breaking Miami Market Update – August 2025

Home Prices Dip, Delistings Surge, and Luxury Takes a New Turn

For the first time in years, Miami’s real estate market is showing signs of cooling—while still holding its place as one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
Fresh market data from Florida Realtors, Axios Miami, and the New York Post reveals a shift that’s creating both challenges and opportunities for buyers, sellers, and agents.

1. Prices Are Down—And the Trend Is Clear

• Miami Median Price, June 2024: $665,000
• Miami Median Price, June 2025: $640,000 → Down 3.8%
• Tampa saw an even bigger drop, nearly 6% year-over-year.

Why it matters:
After years of rapid appreciation, these drops signal a market recalibration. Buyers now have more negotiating power, and sellers face a more selective audience.

2. Delistings Hit Record Highs

Miami now leads the nation in delistings:

• June 2024: ~36% of listings removed without selling
• June 2025: 59%—a 23 percentage point jump

Why sellers are pulling back:

• Reluctance to lower prices from 2022–2023 peaks
• Waiting for potential seasonal rebounds
• Choosing to rent out instead of sell

3. Why This Is Happening

Three major forces are shaping today’s market:

1. Interest Rates → Staying above 6%, keeping some buyers cautious
2. Increased Inventory → More choice reduces urgency to bid high
3. Price Anchoring → Many sellers still expecting last year’s valuations

4. Luxury Still Commands the Headlines

Even as the broader market cools, Miami’s top-tier properties remain in demand:

• $27M Arte Surfside Penthouse – Once owned by Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner; an example of the trophy assets still attracting international UHNWIs.
• Pagani Residences – A branded luxury tower in North Bay Village blending real estate with automotive prestige, showing how niche luxury concepts thrive even in slower conditions.

Insight: Luxury sales may take longer, but the right brand and exclusivity still move properties.

5. Actionable Insights

For Buyers:

• Negotiate strategically—especially in the mid-market range
• Watch for price reductions and properties relisted after delisting

For Sellers:

• Price realistically from the start to avoid long days-on-market or withdrawal
• Use professional staging, marketing, and global exposure to attract serious buyers

For Agents:

• Leverage Miami’s international appeal to market beyond local buyers
• Educate clients with the latest data so expectations are aligned with reality

Final Thoughts

The Miami market isn’t collapsing—it’s evolving.
We’re moving from a rapid-fire seller’s market to a more strategic, segmented landscape. Those who adapt quickly will find opportunity, whether they’re buying, selling, or brokering deals.
