says <a target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/author\/joel-berner\/\" type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/author\/joel-berner\/\">Realtor.com senior economist <strong>Joel Berner<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 eAPYSB\">Geographic limitations<\/h2>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Experts agree that when it comes to new construction, land scarcity is Miami&#8217;s Achilles&#8217; heel relative to the rest of the state. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;There isn&#8217;t much room for Miami to grow except up, which is why we see a large share of condos on the market there generally and a large share of luxury condos in the new-construction space,&#8221; says Berner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">This severe land constraint directly dictates the economics of residential development in Miami. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;Land is expensive, construction and labor costs are high, financing is still costly, insurance has become a major expense, and permitting and approvals can add significant time and uncertainty to a project,&#8221; <strong>Daniel Ickowicz<\/strong>, CEO of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/eliteinternational.com\/\" type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/eliteinternational.com\/\">Elite International Realty<\/a> in Miami, tells Realtor.com. &#8220;When you put all of that together, developers may still build, but it becomes very difficult to deliver new housing at lower price points.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">To put it simply, because the baseline cost of building in Miami is so high, developers watching their bottom line naturally focus on delivering luxury units at the expense of budget-friendly options. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;That&#8217;s part of the reason you can look around Miami and see cranes everywhere while still having an affordability problem,&#8221; says Ickowicz. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Data analysis confirms the divide: Miami leads the 100 largest metros in its new-construction premium\u2014the extra market cost of buying a brand-new home versus an existing one. Today, the typical new build in Miami carries a price tag 248% higher than the median-priced resold home. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 eAPYSB\">Miami as a global market<\/h2>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">On the affordability front, Miami&#8217;s emergence as a magnet for global wealth plays a defining role for better or worse. Ickowicz notes that the city&#8217;s real estate is increasingly priced for international buyers, detaching housing values from local incomes. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;Local buyers are competing with people and capital coming from Latin America, the Northeast, Europe, and many other markets,&#8221; says the CEO. &#8220;That is very different from many other cities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">The median earner in Miami currently spends nearly 47% of their $74,274 median annual income on a monthly payment for the median-priced home of $507,237, well above the recommended 30% affordability threshold, effectively putting homeownership well beyond reach for average working families.   <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 eAPYSB\">City vs. state <\/h2>\n<div class=\"Boxstyles__StyledBox-rui__sc-1p1qqov-0 cGIhfE sc-1d9c28t-0 dVWipe\">\n<figure><figcaption class=\"sc-1d9c28t-3 kUNXdc\"><span class=\"image-caption\">Miami&#8217;s poor performance on homebuilding and affordability is partly caused by its geographic constraints. <\/span><span class=\"sc-1d9c28t-2 nMMWW image-credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">So why is Miami dramatically underperforming compared to the rest of Florida? Both Ickowicz and Berner  largely attribute the gap to land availability and cost. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;If you go to Central or North Florida, there are areas where developers can still acquire larger parcels and create entire communities,&#8221; points out Ickowicz. &#8220;Miami has much less room to expand, land is considerably more expensive, and demand is coming not only from the local population but from buyers around the country and the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Berner notes that Miami&#8217;s new-home inventory also has to contend with location-specific affordability challenges that inland suburban new builds escape, including skyrocketing coastal property insurance and heightened scrutiny over condo building reserves in the wake of the <a target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/real-estate-news\/surfside-condo-collapse-cause-nist-investigation-report\/\" type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/real-estate-news\/surfside-condo-collapse-cause-nist-investigation-report\/\">deadly Surfside building collapse<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;We are dealing with a different combination of land, development costs, and demand,&#8221; confirms Ickowicz. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Elsewhere in Florida, the picture looks different. In fact, two markets\u2014<a target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/Jacksonville_FL\" type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/Jacksonville_FL\">Jacksonville<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/Palm-Bay_FL\" type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/Palm-Bay_FL\">Palm Bay<\/a>\u2014scored above 70 points overall, driven by high homebuilding marks that secured them A- grades and top 10 national rankings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/Lakeland_FL\" type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/Lakeland_FL\">Lakeland<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/Cape-Coral_FL\" type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/Cape-Coral_FL\">Cape Coral<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/North-Port_FL\" type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/North-Port_FL\">North Port<\/a>, and <a target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/Orlando_FL\" type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/Orlando_FL\">Orlando, FL<\/a>, likewise acquitted themselves well on affordability and homebuilding, each receiving a grade in the B range. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">According to Berner, these metros owe their impressive performance to rapid suburban expansion on low-cost land that Miami simply cannot replicate. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 eAPYSB\">A path forward for Miami <\/h2>\n<div class=\"Boxstyles__StyledBox-rui__sc-1p1qqov-0 cGIhfE sc-1d9c28t-0 dVWipe\">\n<figure><figcaption class=\"sc-1d9c28t-3 kUNXdc\"><span class=\"image-caption\">Developers opt to build luxury units on Miami&#8217;s scarce and expensive land instead of affordable housing.<\/span><span class=\"sc-1d9c28t-2 nMMWW image-credit\">Universal Images Group via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Despite the bleak report card, Berner emphasizes that the state has done well to preempt local zoning codes to allow for taller and denser\u00a0residential construction in commercial areas through the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"https:\/\/www.floridahousing.org\/live-local-act\" type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.floridahousing.org\/live-local-act\">Live Local Act<\/a>, and he believes that more creative solutions like this one are needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;When land is scarce, building tall and dense affordable inventory is the only solution. So rezoning parts of the metro for multifamily homes and continuing the push for accessory dwelling units will make the biggest difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Ickowicz agrees, arguing that while there is no one policy that would solve affordability in Miami overnight, the key to unlocking more budget-conscious housing is greater density around transit and employment hubs. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Other crucial levers include making it easier to redevelop underused properties and reducing unnecessary delays in permitting and approvals to make the process more predictable and streamlined.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;For a developer, time is money. If a project takes significantly longer because of uncertainty in the approval process, those additional costs eventually become part of the price of the housing,&#8221; says the CEO. &#8220;Miami is always going to have some natural limitations on supply and very strong demand. We can&#8217;t change that. What we can do is make sure we&#8217;re not making housing even more expensive by making it unnecessarily difficult or costly to build.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Miami continues to attract deep-pocketed transplants and institutional capital from across the globe, beneath the surface, the city&#8217;s housing market is failing on two key fronts: new construction and affordability.
