Who Has the Largest? | Real Estate"},"content":{"rendered":"

Miami\u2019s real estate market might be in constant growth, but their size definitely isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

According to a recent RentCafe.com<\/a> report, Miami has some of the smallest new apartments in the nation.<\/p>\n

An Miami apartment now averages less than 900 square feet, shrinking 28 feet within the past decade. Conversely, the average apartment size on a national level has grown by 13 square feet.<\/p>\n

The downsizing has come naturally as developers have prioritized building a larger quantity of smaller apartments, with one-bedrooms now making up almost half of new supply. Three-bedroom units are becoming increasingly rare, decreasing from 13% to just 7% of new construction.<\/p>\n

And as Miami apartments are shrinking, other cities in Florida are balancing the tills. Three Florida states made the top five markets in the nation with the largest new developments.<\/p>\n

Tallahassee and Gainesville took the first and second-place spots. The college towns totaled well past 1,000 square feet each.<\/p>\n

Tallahassee still came in first place despite a decrease in 27 square feet since 2016, now averaging apartments that measure 1,156 square feet. Gainesville apartments are an average of 1,126 square feet.<\/p>\n

Fort Myers came in at number five on the list, with apartments averaging 1,032 square feet.<\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, all but three of the cities among those with the largest apartments in the nation have seen a decrease in their average apartment size over the last decade.<\/p>\n

The pattern points to a larger trend within the national market\u2013the pool of potential renters is getting bigger, and units are getting smaller.<\/p>\n
