Total home sales rose in Miami-Dade County last month compared to the previous March.<\/p>\n

Miami<\/p>\n

Looking to buy or rent? Or wanting to protect your home?<\/p>\n

If so, North Miami is hosting a Fair Housing Fair on Sunday, April 26, at the Griffing Community Center.<\/p>\n

The event is free, and it\u2019ll feature banks, mortgage lenders, legal experts and city representatives who can answer questions on all things housing \u2014 be it buying a home, renting a place or protecting the home you live in.<\/p>\n

Greater Miami has one of the lowest homeownership rates among the country\u2019s major metropolitan areas. Last year, roughly 58% of Miami metro-area residents owned the home<\/a> they live in, down from 63% the year before \u2014 a drop that reflects years of rising costs and incomes that haven\u2019t kept pace.<\/p>\n

And of those Miami-Dade residents who rent \u2014 roughly 45% of the population \u2014 nearly two-thirds are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30% of their monthly income on housing, while 36% spend at least half of their paycheck on rent, Census data shows.<\/p>\n

Hosted by North Miami Councilwoman Mary Estim\u00e9-Irvin, the Fair Housing Fair will be held from noon to 4 p.m. at 12220 Griffing Blvd.<\/p>\n
