Miami-Dade Homeowners Just Got Their First Insurance Rate Cut Since 2015. Condo Owners Are Still Waiting.
Citizens cut Miami-Dade homeowner rates 14% this year — the first decrease since 2015 — and 21 new insurers have entered Florida since litigation reform. But the state's own July 2026 data shows Miami-Dade condo owners paying $2,801 a year on average, up roughly another fifth since late 2024. Here's the real two-track story, and what it means for pricing, underwriting, and net proceeds right now.

Miami Beach Short-Term Rental Data Is Telling Two Different Stories. Which One Is Yours?
Two major data providers, one Miami Beach, two very different pictures: about 4,550 listings and $43K average revenue versus about 1,625 listings and $64K. Here is why they disagree and how to find your own number.

You Inherited a Miami Beach Property. January 1 Is Doing More Damage Than Probate.
Families focus on probate. Meanwhile the Save Our Homes cap usually dies on January 1 after the owner's death, and on a long-held Miami Beach house that reset can multiply the tax bill. Here's the tax, timing and title sequence that decides what an inherited property is actually worth — including the court order most title underwriters require before you can sell.

Your Buyer Just Got a 5% Price Cut. You Didn't Give It to Them.
On Tuesday the 30-year fixed hit 7.22%, a 52-week high, after starting the year under 6%. For a financed buyer at the Miami Beach median, that move quietly erased about $42,000 of purchasing power in six weeks — a 5% cut nobody negotiated. Here's what it does to your pricing math this fall, and how to cut once instead of three times.

Brickell, Edgewater, Coconut Grove: The Fullest Buildings Are Cutting Rent the Hardest
Brickell posts Miami's highest submarket rents and its thinnest occupancy. Edgewater is 96.4% full and cutting rent faster than either neighbor. Coconut Grove is the cheapest of the three and the most stable. Here's the occupancy-adjusted math on what each one actually collects — and why roughly $2.9 million of Brickell's apparent premium over Edgewater doesn't exist.

Miami's Class C Apartments Are 96% Full and Their Rents Are Falling. Those Are the Same Fact.
Workforce housing was supposed to be the safe tier in Miami multifamily. Miami-Dade Class C occupancy is holding near 96% — and Class C rents just went negative. Full buildings at falling rents mean the tenant is maxed out, not that you have pricing power. Here's how that changes the underwriting, and why cheap agency debt is about to make it worse.

The average Miami Beach short-term rental grosses abut $43,000 a year. After the platform, the manager, he turnovers and the 14% tax stack, the owner keeps loser to $16,000 — less than a plain annual lease onthe same unit.

There's a December 31 Deadline Buried in Florida's Property Tax Amendment
Amendment 3 goes to Florida voters on November 3. The headline is a $250,000 homestead exemption — but on Miami Beach, where 22% of the housing stock is second homes, the provision that actually moves money is the one nobody is covering. Plus the residency deadline most people are explaining backwards.

Miami's Apartment Glut Is Real. Almost Nobody Is Underwriting the Part Where It Ends.
For the first time in three years, South Florida leased more apartments than it delivered. But Miami-Dade luxury vacancy is still 10.5% while Class C sits near 3% — and construction starts just fell 21%. Here's what this quarter's numbers actually tell a multifamily buyer about cap rates, rents and timing.

The Cap Rate on That Miami Offering Memorandum Is Fiction. Here's How to Underwrite the Real One.
South Florida multifamily is trading near a 5% cap while agency debt costs 6%+ — so leverage now subtracts from your return instead of adding to it. Add Florida's tax reset at closing and an insurance line that moves 30% either way, and the broker's cap rate stops describing your deal. Here's the underwriting I actually run, with the math.

Miami-Dade Just Posted a Seller's Market. Miami Beach Didn't Get the Memo.
July 2026 county numbers show inventory down 15%, single-family at 4.8 months of supply, and eleven straight months of rising sales. On Miami Beach, listings are still sitting three to four months. Here's why the county headline doesn't describe your street — and what the gap tells a seller about pricing and timing.
