Here are key takeaways:

• Nearly 38% of Miami-Dade home purchases and 37% of Broward transactions were completed without financing, well above the national average of roughly 25%. Almost half of Miami-Dade condo purchases and more than half of Broward condo sales were all-cash deals.
• Miami Realtors Chief Economist Gay Cororaton said the million-dollar segment continued to outperform other price tiers, calling it “a clear indication of the acceleration in wealth migration to South Florida.”
• Miami-Dade total home sales climbed 14.3% year-over-year, marking 10 consecutive months of growth. Broward sales rose 21.1%, driven by a 26% jump in single-family sales.
• Median single-family home prices reached $695,000 in Miami-Dade (up 3.7%) and $645,000 in Broward (up 2.4%). Condo prices slipped slightly as inventory remains elevated following new state safety requirements after the Surfside collapse.
• June home sales generated an estimated $271 million in local economic activity in Miami-Dade and $302 million in Broward, according to National Association of Realtors estimates.
