Condo Market in Miami, FL
Median price, HOA fees, insurance, energy mandates, and hidden costs for Miami condos in 2026.
Miami Condo Market Overview
Miami's condo market is ground zero for the post-Surfside insurance and structural inspection crisis. Florida's SB 4-D now mandates milestone inspections at 25 and 30 years, revealing billions in deferred maintenance across aging towers. Special assessments of $50,000–$200,000+ per unit are increasingly common. Insurance premiums have tripled in many buildings since 2020, with some complexes losing coverage entirely. Inventory is surging as owners flee rising carrying costs.
Energy Mandate Status
Deadline: N/A
Miami does not currently have a mandatory building energy performance standard, but state-level legislation is under discussion. Even without mandates, aging building systems and rising energy costs contribute to increasing HOA fees and special assessments in the Miami market.
