Every fall, the same question comes up: is the market actually shifting, or does it just feel that way once the kids are back in school? Heading into the last few months of 2026, there’s a real answer. Price growth in Miami-Dade County has continued, but it has slowed from the pace of the past few years. Inventory has been building. And homes, broadly speaking, are taking longer to sell than they did at the peak of the post-pandemic run. For Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest and Cutler Bay, that shift shows up as more options for buyers and a market that rewards sellers who price with the current moment in mind rather than last year’s numbers. Where Prices and Inventory Stand […]

Pinecrest has built its reputation on a simple formula: low density, oversized lots, and some of the strongest public and private school options in Miami-Dade. That reputation is not marketing. It shows up directly in how this market behaves, from how quickly well-priced homes move to how rarely inventory sits long enough to soften on price. Here is what the current data actually says, and what it means if you are buying or selling here in 2026. KEY DATA (As of August 2026) Average Sale Price: $4,386,000 Current Number of Listings: 127 Average Days on Market: 79 Why Low Density Keeps Pinecrest’s Market So Competitive Pinecrest was zoned from the start to stay low density, and that has not changed […]

By Drew Kern, #1 Agent in Palmetto Bay by Homes Sold in 2025, The Kern Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty Palmetto Bay does not need to sell itself with a marketing campaign. Tree-lined streets, some of the largest standard lot sizes in Miami-Dade, and pockets of true waterfront access have made it one of the most consistently in-demand family neighborhoods in the county, and the resale numbers back that up year after year. As the agent who closed more homes here than anyone else in 2025, I get asked constantly what makes this market different. Here is the honest answer. KEY DATA (As of July 2026) Average Sale Price: $1,517,000 Current Number of Listings: 102 Current Days on […]

By Drew Kern, The Kern Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty Cutler Bay doesn’t get the headlines that Coral Gables or Pinecrest do, and honestly, that has worked in its favor. While buyers bid up the more talked-about zip codes, Cutler Bay has quietly become one of the better value plays left in South Miami-Dade, and the buyers who have figured that out already are not eager to broadcast it. KEY DATA (As of July 2026) Average Sale Price: $809,000 4.2 Months of Inventory Average Days on Market: 74 Who Is Actually Buying In Cutler Bay Right Now The buyer profile here has shifted over the past several years. First-time buyers priced out of Palmetto Bay and Pinecrest are […]

Coral Gables asks something of the buyers who come looking here. It is not the neighborhood you settle for. It is the one people spend years working toward, whether they are trading up from a starter home in South Miami or relocating from out of state and want a foundation that will hold its value for decades. If you are in that move-up stage right now, here is what actually matters before you start touring. KEY DATA (As of July 2026) Average Sale Price: $3,956,000 4.7 Months of Inventory Average Days on Market: 78 What makes Coral Gables different from a standard move-up Market Most move-up markets are defined by square footage. Coral Gables is defined by permanence. The banyan […]

Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay sit just a few miles apart in southern Miami-Dade County, share the same general corridor, and pull from many of the same buyer pools. But they are distinct communities with different price points, different housing stock, and different lifestyle profiles. For buyers trying to figure out which one fits their budget and priorities, the comparison is worth making carefully. Here is a straightforward look at how these two markets compare heading into the back half of 2026. How Do the Price Points Compare Between Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay? This is where the two communities separate most clearly. Palmetto Bay is one of the higher-price markets in southern Miami-Dade. The inventory is dominated by single-family […]
