A new WalletHub report shows that nearby housing markets can look very different on the same scorecard. In the Aug. 19 study of 300 cities using 17 metrics, Miami ranked 38th overall with a total score of 60.28, while Miami Beach ranked 294th with a total score of 39.33. Miami’s real-estate market rank was 30, compared with 293 for Miami Beach. The report also measured affordability and economic environment, where Miami ranked 167 and Miami Beach ranked 228. For buyers, sellers, and homeowners, the useful takeaway is that one regional label does not tell the full story. City-by-city differences can be significant, even within the same part of South Florida.
