Just Buy: Miami-Dade County Rents Skyrocket, Leaving Locals Frustrated

Rents are simply getting out of hand in Miami-Dade County and throughout South Florida, which makes purchasing the best option for your short-term budget needs and long-term potential. Why pay your landlord’s mortgage when you can pay your own and build wealth through real estate ownership? A new report from The Real Deal details how monthly rents are jumping by up to 24% at different South Florida apartment communities. “That has left tenants who get a 10% uptick feeling lucky,” the article states. The Real Deal cites a Florida International University study that concluded Miami-Dade had record absorption of 11,000 apartment units over the past year. Another report, from The Next Miami, notes that as of Aug. 25, no one-bedroom apartments are available in Brickell for under $2,000. The publication believes this is a first in the history of the city’s financial district.

Other reasons why purchasing at Merrick Manor makes significantly more sense than renting include:

· Not having to deal with a landlord

· Certainty of knowing where you’ll be living for the long term, as opposed to signing a one-year lease and restarting the process a year later

· Avoiding annual rental rate increases that are at the discretion of the owner
