State of the Market: Cutler Bay

Cutler Bay had a strong run in 2025. Strong enough that by mid-year, it was one of the more talked-about family-friendly suburbs in Miami-Dade. Then the market started to cool.

That’s not necessarily bad news — it depends on which side of the transaction you’re on.

Here’s a clear-eyed look at where things stand right now.

There are roughly 230 homes for sale in Cutler Bay as of February 2026 — about the same number as spring 2025. But the comparison stops there.

Back then, that inventory represented around 5 months of supply. Today, that same number of homes represents nearly 8 months of supply, because far fewer sales are closing each month. That’s a meaningful shift. It means buyers have more options and real leverage — this is a buyer’s market.

Sales peaked in Cutler Bay last July and have been declining since. In February 2026, fewer than 30 transactions closed — the lowest monthly total of the past year.

With inventory staying high and sales slowing down, homes are sitting longer. The average listing is spending just over 90 days on the market right now, compared to under 60 days last summer. If you’re a buyer, that extra time works in your favor. It gives you room to look carefully, compare, and negotiate.

Asking prices have been drifting down since summer 2025. In February, the average asking price came in just under $650,000.

Selling prices are a different story — they’ve been volatile. From January to February alone, the average sale price dropped from around $655,000 to just under $560,000. Month to month, that kind of swing is worth paying attention to.

On a per-square-foot basis, homes sold for just over $300 in February — lower than any month in 2025 except January. For buyers keeping an eye on value, that’s a number worth noting.

If you’re buying: the conditions right now are about as favorable as they’ve been in a while. Plenty of inventory, motivated sellers, and prices that have come down from their peaks. It’s a good time to take your time, see what’s out there, and make an offer with confidence.

If you’re selling: patience may be your best strategy. The market tends to pick back up in late spring and summer, and waiting a few months could mean a better outcome. Pricing aggressively right now is an uphill battle when buyers have this many choices.
