We’ve worked South Miami Dade and its key residential markets since 1985, long enough to see more than one full cycle play out.

A Miami Dade homeowner who bought a single family home 15 years ago now holds a median of $570,300 in equity. For the typical 15 year owner, that represents 84% of the home’s value.

That changes the conversation.

For many longtime owners, today’s interest rates are not the deciding factor. The bigger question is what that equity makes possible.

Across South Florida, twelve municipalities now exceed seven figures in 15 year housing wealth. Three of them are markets we know especially well: Coral Gables, Pinecrest, and South Miami.

But substantial equity doesn’t change one important reality: the market still sets the price. Equity simply gives sellers more options.

The county average tells one story. Your street may tell another.

Let’s look at what your home is actually worth today.

Starting October 1, Florida is cracking down on people who fraudulently get into apartments using fake financial documents. Under the state's new HB 1293, knowingly using forged, fictitious or counterfeit documents like fake paystubs or bank statements to fraudulently enter into and take possession of a residential rental can result in a third-degree felony.

That charge can carry up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. The law also covers certain false identity statements and impersonating another person on a rental application.

Landlords will also be able to terminate a rental agreement for fraudulent entry without giving the tenant an opportunity to fix the violation. The tenant can be given seven days to vacate after receiving the termination notice.

The law officially takes effect October 1, 2026.
