What's the Average Time on Market for Homes in Miami-Dade?

As of late summer 2026, single-family homes in Miami-Dade are taking a median of about 52 days to go under contract (roughly 94 days to close), while condos are taking closer to 85 days to go under contract (around 124 days to close).

Why This Number Matters

Days on market is one of the clearest signals of how "hot" or "cool" a market is. A rising number, like Miami-Dade has seen over the past year, generally means buyers have more time to shop and negotiate, while a falling number signals more competition and less leverage.

Single-Family Homes

At roughly 52 days to contract, single-family homes are taking noticeably longer than the prior year's roughly 42-day median, but inventory remains relatively tight (under 5 months of supply), which keeps this from being a true buyer's market.

Condos

Condos are moving much more slowly, at roughly 85 days to contract and over four months longer to fully close. With over 12 months of supply on the market, sellers in this segment need to be especially realistic about pricing and timeline expectations.

What Affects an Individual Listing's Time on Market

Price relative to comparable sales, condition, location within the neighborhood, and (for condos) building financial health and insurance costs all move a specific listing's timeline up or down from the county-wide average.

What This Means If You're Selling

A longer average time on market isn't a reason to panic, but it is a reason to price accurately from the start rather than testing the market high — homes that sit too long often end up selling for less than if they'd been priced correctly from day one.

FAQ

Q: Why are condos taking so much longer to sell than houses in Miami?
A: Condo buyers are doing more extensive due diligence on building reserves, special assessments, and insurance costs, and condo inventory is significantly higher than single-family inventory, giving buyers more options and less urgency.

Q: Does a longer time on market mean I'll get a lower price?
A: Not necessarily, but homes that sit on the market far longer than the area average often do end up selling below their original list price — accurate initial pricing is the best way to avoid this.
