1. Why are so many homes being delisted in Miami?
Miami has one of the highest delisting rates in the U.S. — about 27 homes removed for every 100 new listings, nearly double the national average (13.6).
👉 Translation: many homeowners would rather wait for better conditions than slash their prices.

3. Is Miami a buyer’s market in 2025?

4. Is buying a condo in Miami worth it?
Condos are attractive for their convenience and lower upfront cost, but they come with risks:
- HOA fees often exceed $900/month

In April, sales dipped:
- –23% in Miami
- –19% in Fort Lauderdale
- –14% in West Palm Beach
Average time on market: 81 days in Miami.
But here’s the twist: reports still rank Miami as the #2 most promising U.S. market in 2025, projecting +24% sales growth and +9% price increase by year-end.
6. Why is Miami still a better bet than other global cities?
In the last decade, Miami real estate saw:
- +141% condo appreciation
- +167% single-family home appreciation
And here’s the kicker: with $1M, you get 650 sq. ft. in Miami’s prime neighborhoods, more space than in New York, London, or Paris.
