About This Edition
- Closed sales are residential sales with a closing date in September 2026, grouped by BeachesMLS property subtype: single-family homes, and condos and townhomes. Other residential subtypes count toward the totals only.
- Month-over-month changes compare September 2026 with the month before. Year-over-year changes are compared with September 2025.
- Inventory, months of supply, luxury and waterfront counts and rents describe the market on the publication day, not on the last day of the month.
- Only sales recorded in BeachesMLS are counted. Where some agents in a county list with another multiple listing service, as happens on the Treasure Coast, the counts cover part of that county's market, so compare counties by their medians and direction more than by their totals.
- Medians are not averaged across counties, so the region is described by its totals and by each county's own medians.

- What was the median home price in South Florida in September 2026?
- BreakThru Realty reports medians by county and by property type rather than one regional figure, because the counties' markets differ too much to average. In September 2026 the median single-family sale was $695,000 in Miami-Dade County, $645,000 in Broward County, $710,000 in Palm Beach County, $642,500 in Martin County, $400,000 in St. Lucie County, $390,000 in Indian River County.
- How is this report different from the county housing market reports?
- The county and city housing market reports update every day and always show the market today. The monthly report freezes one month's figures when it is published, so each edition can be cited and compared with the ones before it.
- Who publishes the South Florida Housing Market Report?
- BreakThru Realty Research, the market research of BreakThru Realty, a South Florida real estate brokerage. The methodology and the written guidance are reviewed by Tyson E. Sam, founder and broker of record. The figures are computed from BeachesMLS and never edited by hand.
