Home Prices in Bay Harbor Islands
Over the last 90 days the median single-family home in Bay Harbor Islands sold for $12,100,000 ($2,302 per square foot) and the median condo or townhome for $665,000 ($544 per square foot). Against the same 90 days a year earlier that is +313.9% for single-family homes and +46.6% for condos. Homes on the market now are asking a median $7,249,990 (single-family) and $1,124,500 (condos and townhomes). Medians describe the middle of the market; a waterfront estate and a garden condo pull in opposite directions, which is why the two segments are reported separately.
Inventory and the Pace of Sales
165 homes and condos are for sale in Bay Harbor Islands today, 9 of them listed in the last seven days, and 25 are under contract. 11 sales closed in the last 30 days. Single-family homes carry 13.5 months of inventory and condos 14.6 months, which makes the single-family side a buyer's market: under four months favours sellers, over six favours buyers. Active single-family listings have been on the market 120 days on average, condos 171 days.
Single-Family Homes vs. Condos and Townhomes
The two halves of the Bay Harbor Islands market move differently. Single-family sellers achieved 90.1% of their asking price on the typical sale in the last 90 days after 22 days on market; condo and townhome sellers achieved 95.3% after 129 days. 2 single-family homes and 32 condos and townhomes closed in that window. Condo pricing also carries the building's fees, reserves and rental rules, so a low list price in an older tower is not the same deal as a low list price on a lot.
The Last Twelve Months
134 residential sales closed in Bay Harbor Islands over the last twelve months. The whole-market median sold price moved from $860,000 in Nov 2025 to $775,000 in Sep 2026, a change of -9.9%. The month-by-month table below shows closings, median price, price per square foot and days to sell; the current month is partial until it closes.
Selling a Home in Bay Harbor Islands
A Bay Harbor Islands condo is priced by its building and its water before its square footage: a new boutique building against a mid-century one, a bay or Indian Creek exposure against a street view, a deeded boat slip, the floor, the terrace and the building's fees, reserves and assessment history. A West Island house is priced by its lot: bay or canal frontage, the seawall and dock, the elevation, and whether a buyer will keep the house or replace it, which is why two houses on the same canal can be worth very different amounts. Your buyers compare the town with Bal Harbour, Surfside, Miami Beach and Aventura, so we price from the closed sales that match your building or your lot. Begin with a free valuation drawn from recent MLS closings, move to a full comparative market analysis when you are ready to list, or ask for a guaranteed cash offer when you need to sell fast and as-is.
Investing in Bay Harbor Islands
Investors in Bay Harbor Islands usually buy one of three things: a unit in an older East Island building to renovate or lease, a residence in a new boutique building bought before or at completion, or a West Island house on the water or an interior lot to rebuild. The East Island's redevelopment is the long story here, because assembled lots of old garden apartments keep becoming new buildings and each completion resets what the older buildings beside it are measured against. A rental depends first on the building's rules: how often a unit may be leased, any minimum term and the association's approval of tenants, and then on the town's own rules on short-term rentals. A rebuild depends on the town's zoning and permits, the flood zone and the FEMA substantial-improvement rule, which requires an older home below flood elevation to be brought up to current standards once the work passes half its value. The rental pages show live Bay Harbor Islands rents, the new construction page tracks the buildings being built, and the price-reduced page tracks sellers who have cut the price.

Sellers achieved 90.1% of their asking price on the typical single-family sale and 95.3% on the typical condo sale. Well-priced homes go under contract in the first few weeks; the average is pulled up by listings that started too high.

- Over the last twelve months the whole-market median sold price in Bay Harbor Islands moved from $860,000 (Nov 2025) to $775,000 (Sep 2026), -9.9%. Comparing the last 90 days with the same 90 days a year earlier, single-family medians are +313.9% and condo medians +46.6%. Monthly medians swing with the mix of homes that happened to close, so the direction over several months matters more than any one month.

- Where do these numbers come from?
- Every figure is computed from BeachesMLS: active listings are counted as of the refresh date (October 20, 2026), sold figures cover closings in the last 90 days compared with the same 90 days a year earlier, and the monthly table buckets closed sales by closing date. Statistics refresh once a day and are cached; inventory over time comes from our own daily snapshots. Nothing on this page is typed by hand, and none of it is an appraisal.
