MIAMI, FL Two-speed market: the 30-year mortgage rate just hit 6.95% — its highest since early 2025 — and existing-home sales slid below 4 million in August. But South Florida isn't reading the same script: Miami-Dade is on track to beat its 2021 record for $10M+ sales, Palm Beach already set its 2026 record, and Miami active listings are down 15% year over year while the national count keeps climbing. High rates are squeezing buyers — but in Miami, scarcity is still doing the talking. Buying or selling this fall? The numbers reward the well-positioned.
