MIAMI REALTORS® New Construction Data Report Coming Monday, July 28
MIAMI REALTORS® will release a groundbreaking new construction international sales report on Monday, July 28. A collaborative effort between MIAMI and leading developers and brokerages, the report is the first of its kind to provide comprehensive data on new condominium sales, addressing a longstanding need and reshaping how the industry tracks international buyer activity in South Florida.
South Florida is home to one of the most robust new construction markets in the U.S. But statistics reported in MIAMI’s monthly statistical news releases don’t include South Florida’s new construction, pre-construction and condo conversion sales because they are largely not reported in the MLS.
Martin County Median Prices
Martin County existing condo median prices decreased 10% year-over-year in June 2025, from $289,000 to $260,000.
Martin County single-family prices increased 3.68% year-over-year in June 2025, from $625,000 to $648,000.
South Florida Real Estate Home Equity & Appreciation is Nearly 2X the National Figure
Home equity is crucial for wealth building, provides a financial safety net, investment opportunities, refinancing options and more.
Miami’s home equity gains are nearly two times the national figure. Home equity gains on a Miami single-family home purchased in Q4 2009 and sold in Q4 2024 is $555,900 versus the U.S. average at $306,600, according to MIAMI REALTORS® Research.
Home equity gains on a Miami condo purchased in Q4 2009 and sold in Q4 2024 is $342,600 versus the U.S. average of $252,000.
Over the last five years, the average homeowner’s wealth has increased by $140,900, according to NAR. Research also shows a growing wealth gap between owners and renters: Based on the latest Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finance, NAR projected in March that homeowners’ median net worth would reach $430,000 in 2025 versus $10,000 for renters.
Florida’s Live Local Act, which was passed in 2023 and amended in May 2024, is encouraging developers to build more affordable housing. The Live Local Act gives developers the highest density allowed in a local area if they allocate 40% of its units for affordable housing. The state law defines an affordable unit as being at or below 120% of an area’s median income.
Martin County Total Sales
Martin County total sales decreased 4.5% year-over-year in June 2025, from 264 to 252.
Martin County single-family home sales decreased 2.21% year-over-year (from 181 to 177).
If average mortgage rates were to decline to 6%, NAR forecasts an additional 160,000 renters becoming first-time homeowners and elevated sales activity from existing homeowners.
Affordable Condo Sales Up
Martin County condos priced between $400K and $600K increased 25% year over year to 10 transactions.
Martin County total existing condo sales decreased 9.64% year-over-year in June 2025, from 83 to 75.
“Once mortgage rates start to head towards the low 6%, which I see happening in 2026, sales will pick up,” MIAMI REALTORS® Chief Economist Gay Cororaton said. “Meanwhile, the million-dollar plus sales segment continues to be a bright spot.”
The lack of Federal Housing Administration loans for a large number of existing Miami condominium buildings is preventing further market strengthening. Of the 2,397 condominium buildings in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, only 21 are approved for FHA loans, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Just 0.9% of South Florida condo buildings are approved for FHA loans. Florida is the only state in the U.S. that requires a client to put down 25% for a limited review if the condo building doesn’t have enough in reserves. The requirement for every other state is 10%.
As a leader in advocacy, MIAMI REALTORS® is working with the Legislature to support our market. MIAMI brought together lawmakers, top experts and more for a sold-out Condo Summit on Feb. 14 that empowered REALTORS® with the latest knowledge and tools. MIAMI followed it up with a Capitol to Closings, 2025 legislative session breakdown on May 8, 2025.
