Key Findings  ·  February 2026

What this month's data reveals.

Analysis of MLS closed transaction data across all three South Florida counties reveals a bifurcated market: single-family residences are appreciating while condominiums face sustained price pressure, rising inventory, and dramatically longer time-to-close.


Palm Beach SFR
+7.7%

Palm Beach SFR median price appreciation over two years — the strongest gain in the tri-county region. Miami-Dade SFR is up 7.0% over the same period to $685,000.

Condo days on market
174 days

Median days on market for Miami-Dade condos in February 2026, up from 85 days in 2024. Broward: 171 days. The average condo now takes nearly 6 months to close.

Broward condo prices
−7.0%

Broward County condo median price decline since 2024, from $285,000 to $265,000. Price per square foot in Broward condos fell 8.5% — the largest per-foot decline in the dataset.

Pool premium — SFR
+103%

Pool premium on single-family homes in Palm Beach County. A pool home sells for double the price of a non-pool home. Miami-Dade: +80%. Broward: +64%.

Distressed sales
1-in-36

Miami-Dade condo distressed listings in February 2026 — up from fewer than 1-in-200 just two years ago. A quiet but accelerating leading indicator.

Cash buyer premium
+35%

Premium that cash buyers pay over financed buyers on Miami-Dade SFR. In Palm Beach, 62% of all SFR transactions and 76% of all condo transactions were all-cash.

Seller concessions
31%

Share of Miami-Dade and Broward SFR closings that included seller concessions in February 2026. Average concession: $16,263 in Miami-Dade, $11,138 in Broward. Palm Beach: just 7.1%.

New construction premium
+227%

New construction (2023+) SFR premium over existing stock in Broward — median $1,995,000 vs $610,000. Miami-Dade: +146%. Palm Beach: +147%.
