Single-family sales were up more than 4%, and existing condo sales were up nearly 15%.<\/p>\n<p>The data showed sales were up at both the luxury and affordable ends of the market. Sales of properties over $5 million were up 11% year-over-year, and sales of condos priced between $400,000 and $500,000 were up 19%. Median prices for single-family homes in Miami-Dade rose by more than 4% year-over-year.<\/p>\n<p>The Miami Association of Realtors has named South Florida the No. 1 ultra-luxury market in the U.S., with a home sale over $10 million happening every day in the region on average.<\/p>\n<p>Miami\u2019s ultra-luxury market has drawn particular attention this year, as a few big-name tech billionaires have purchased waterfront properties in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Google co-founders <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"Follow nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/news\/local\/community\/miami-dade\/article314295649.html\">Sergey Brin and Larry Page have both reportedly purchased<\/a> megamillion homes in recent months.

A housing market balanced between buyers and sellers usually has around six months of available inventory.<\/p>\n<p>A buyer\u2019s market keeps prices low, and it may be a good time to score a deal on a condo in Miami-Dade County.<\/p>\n<p>But that may be changing. The county saw condo inventory decrease year-over-year in February for the first time since July 2023. Decreasing inventory means buying a condo in Miami-Dade may be getting more competitive, and that may also push condo prices up.<\/p>\n<p>Broward housing market<\/p>\n<p>Broward County saw a slight decrease in total home sales in February compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Total home sales were down 0.8%, and existing condo sales were down nearly 3%. But single-family transactions were up about 1%, and sales of homes over $1 million seemed to buoy the market. Million-and-up transactions rose by nearly 20% year-over-year.<\/p>\n<p>But this relatively slow housing market may not last. Inventory for both single-family homes and condos has decreased since last February. Single-family inventory was down around 8% from the previous year, and condo inventory was down 7%.<\/p>\n<p>Still, even as inventory decreases, it\u2019s a buyer\u2019s market for condos. There\u2019s over 11 months of available condo inventory in Broward.<\/p>\n<p>                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/profile\/275974746\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1774273093_841_Headshots AGS 013_.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Profile Image of Catherine Odom\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n                    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                <a class=\"author-name\" href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/profile\/275974746\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Catherine Odom<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    Miami Herald<\/p>\n<p>            Catherine Odom covers real estate for the Miami Herald.
