Miami Real Estate Market 2026: 47,000 Homes for Sale and a Score of 13

PropertyIQ scores Miami a 13 out of 100 as of February 28, 2026 — one of the lowest scores of any major metro in the country.

Here is the data.

47,114 Homes for Sale

That is the defining number. For context: the entire Chicago metro has 11,833 listings. The Denver metro has under 10,000. Miami has more than four times Chicago's listings in a metro a fraction of Chicago's size. Inventory has fallen 3.24% year over year — a marginal improvement that does not change the structural picture.

Demand Has Nearly Disappeared

Miami's demand score is 5.7 out of 100 as of February 2026. The pending-to-active ratio is 0.2185 — only 22% of active listings are going under contract. Homes average 83 days on market. Sellers receive 96.3% of asking price as of November 2025.

Overvaluation Is Extreme

Miami is approximately 81.5% overvalued relative to local fundamentals as of February 2026. The income needed to buy is approximately $132,898. The median household income is $73,481 (2023 Census). The gap is among the widest of any major metro.

Home Values Are Declining

Down 2.91% year over year as of February 2026. Zillow forecasts +2.5% near-term as of December 2025. Home sales volume is up 10% year over year as of February 2026 — the one favorable signal in the current data.

What a 13 Means

The PropertyIQ Score measures current supply-demand conditions. Miami has a genuine long-term case: international demand, climate migration, no state income tax, diversifying economy. But the current conditions — 47,000 listings, 22% absorption rate, 81.5% overvaluation — reflect a market where supply dramatically outran demand.

This does not mean Miami is a market to avoid permanently. It means the current entry point requires careful underwriting and a longer time horizon than markets with stronger near-term fundamentals. Similar dynamics are visible across Florida, with Tampa scoring 47 and Orlando scoring 44 on the same index.
