The Case for Buying: Miami Rents Continue to Surge

Miami is one of the most expensive rental markets in the nation, and monthly rents are only getting higher, a new report shows. Would-be buyers are making a costly mistake by renting.

The Miami MSA moved up to the No. 7 (from No. 9) priciest rental market in the U.S., according to Zumper’s annual National Rent Report. The research firm studies median rents for one and two-bedroom apartments in 100 cities to determine its rankings.

Median one-bedroom rents jumped by 18.3% to $2,070/month from October 2020 to October 2021. Two-bedroom rents experienced a similar year-over-year surge, climbing 18.2% to $2,730/month.

“We are seeing a significant year-over-year increase in rents in Miami because we are in the midst of a tremendous flow of capital to the city and region,” analyst Ana Bozovic told the Miami Herald in an article summarizing the findings of the Zumper report.

Avoid being at the mercy of a landlord who undoubtedly will increase your monthly rents and build future wealth by purchasing instead of renting.
