Miami Multifamily Memo

Current trends and opportunities

2023 is behind us.

  • How did pricing and transaction volume compare to years prior?
  • Where will it go from here?

Let's dig in.

**if you’d like this data broken out by Miami Dade, Broward, & Palm Beach County, please reach out ​via email​ for the excel**

Most headlines will point out that transaction volume is down roughly 60%, year-over-year.

However, as predicted in my 2023 mid-year update, South Florida is back to a pre-pandemic average number of deals traded (82 vs. 87) and sales volume closed ($3.14B vs. $3.28B), highlighted above.

The only difference being that the price per unit was +50% more in 2023 than 2019 ($212K/door vs. $318K/door). Why? Because rents have grown 50 - 100% since.

So where do we go from here?

As the uptick of new supply begins to deliver and loan maturities start coming due, my guess is in 2024 and 2025 we'll start averaging:

  • 4 to 5 billion dollars of sales volume
  • +/- $300K/door pricing on average
  • +/- 100 deals sold

I like to keep these memo's short, so I'll leave you with the most bullish chart for the transaction activity coming to South Florida:

Construction activity means deals will be delivering and need to be sold, recapitalized, or refinanced (i.e. capital events).

How this may hinder rent growth will vary by submarket, which I will get into as I start sharing "submarket reports" starting February.

In a nutshell, however, once you fast forward 3, 5, 7 years from now, Miami will continue dominating capital and migration patterns as we offer an even better value proposition for current and future residents alike as one of the most dense, rewarding, and feasible cities in America.

Virtuous cycles.

Miami Multifamily Monthly Current trends & opportunities Market Pulse The Fed / FOMC seem to be cementing the “higher for longer” narrative as it relates to interest rates going forward. That’s bad news for real estate valuations. Despite the amount of dry powder seemingly in the space, buyers have shown to be more judicious than most sellers & brokers expected coming into 2023. Every deal has its nuances, but by and large we are seeing sellers hoping to sell multifamily properties in South...
