Most families budget the Miami move off the home price. That's the number they get wrong. In 2026 the Miami-Dade median sits around $680,000, up from roughly $370,000 six years ago, but the list price is the part most budget tools show you and the smallest part of what you'll actually pay. This breakdown covers what the sticker leaves out, so you can plan the real number before you sign. Families planning a Miami move usually budget off the home price and stop there. The costs that decide whether the move actually works sit underneath it: the property tax reset when you buy without a Save Our Homes cap, insurance that prices differently here than almost anywhere else, private school tuition, and the everyday costs that run higher than people expect coming from out of state. This video walks through each one and ends on the income math, what it takes to carry a Miami home comfortably rather than just qualify on paper. If you're looking at Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, or Palmetto Bay, these are the numbers to run first.
