Introduction

If you’re considering selling your home in Miami, whether in Pinecrest, Doral, Brickell, or South Miami, now’s a good time to understand what’s going on in the broader Florida housing market and how that impacts you. We’ll walk through recent market data and then connect it to our seller’s roadmap so you feel equipped, confident, and ready to move forward.


What the Market Data Shows

According to the latest report from Florida Realtors (October 2025):

  • Closed sales of existing single-family homes in Florida were up 13.6% year-over-year in September. (floridarealtors.org)

  • Closed sales of existing condo-townhouse units were up 8% compared to last September. (floridarealtors.org)

  • The statewide median sales price for single-family homes remained at $410,000, the same as a year ago. (floridarealtors.org)

  • For condos/townhouses, the median price was $299,000, down about 4.8% compared to September 2024. (floridarealtors.org)

  • Inventory (months’ supply) for single-families is approximately 5.1 months, while for condos/townhouses it’s around 9.1 months. (floridarealtors.org)

  • The report concludes: “The housing market appears to be finding its footing … buyer demand improving and stability returning to prices.” (floridarealtors.org)

Why this matters for you as a seller

  • Stronger buyer demand: The uptick in closed and pending sales signals more active buyers — that’s a good thing if you’re selling.

  • Stable pricing for houses: Since median house prices held steady year-over-year, it means if you’ve maintained your home well, you’re likely positioned to hold value.

  • Longer market for condos/townhouses: The higher inventory and slight price dip mean these asset types may face more competition.

  • Timing matters: With more activity and fewer extreme price moves, buyers may be more deliberate. You want to stand out in your marketing and presentation.

Here’s how it maps into today’s market context:

  1. Understand Why You’re Selling

    • Are you downsizing? Moving out of state? Taking profits? If the market is active and prices are steady, decide how quickly you need to sell and what your goal is.

  2. Determine Selling Price

    • With single‐family homes hovering around $410K statewide, realistic pricing and localized comps matter big time. Overpricing will likely slow you down.

  3. Start Preparations

    • With buyer demand up, your home needs to be show-ready. Declutter, fix minor repairs, stage smartly. Because you want to capture attention while demand is there.

  4. Develop a Marketing Strategy

    • Since the market is more balanced, you don’t just list and wait. You need proactive marketing: targeted social media, agent network reach, and premium listing exposure.

  5. Evaluate Offers

    • With more sales happening, you may get interest faster — but don’t rush. Evaluate the buyer’s terms, financing, and contingencies carefully.

  6. Accept an Offer

    • Once you’re comfortable with the terms and buyer, lock it in. The data says buyer activity is up for single-family homes—so you want to act when you see a strong offer.

  7. Get Ready to Close

    • Inspections, appraisals, and possible repairs all still matter. With condo inventory higher, buyers may have more leverage—be ready.

  8. Close

    • Final signing, utility transfers, move-out logistics. When you’ve followed the steps, you’ll feel ready and confident to hand off your home and move into the next chapter.


What You’ll Want to Ask Yourself

  • Have I gathered up recent comparable sales in my area (Pinecrest, South Miami, Brickell, Doral, Weston) to see how my home stacks up?

  • Does my home need any immediate upgrades (paint, landscaping, staging) to match current buyer expectations?

  • What is my ideal timeline: do I want to sell quickly or can I wait for the best price?

  • Have I mapped out where I’m going after the sale? (For example: downsizing, relocating, upgrading)

  • Do I have a trusted, proactive agent who will keep up communication, market my home aggressively, and manage the process end-to-end?


Final Thoughts

In today’s Florida market, we’re seeing encouraging signs for sellers — especially in the single-family home segment. While condo and townhouse markets face a little more supply, your strategy and presentation will make the difference. Pricing smart, preparing well, and working with a dedicated team will position you to make the most of your sale.
