The Miami-Dade market right now

In September 2026 the median single-family home in Miami-Dade sold for $692,000, up 4.1% from a year earlier, and the median time to contract was 41 days (time to sale was 80 days). A clean, updated house sells. A house with an open permit, an unpaid violation or a tenant who won’t leave often doesn’t, because buyers’ lenders won’t close on it. That’s the gap a cash sale fills.

Selling with code violations or liens in Miami-Dade

In unincorporated Miami-Dade, violations go through the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER). Appeals of a civil violation notice are heard by a county Hearing Officer through the Clerk’s Code Enforcement Division, and you have 20 days to appeal. Each city (Miami, Hialeah, Miami Beach and so on) runs its own code department and its own hearings.

Under Florida law (Fla. Stat. 162.09), a recorded fine order becomes a lien on the property and on any other real estate the owner holds. A county or city with 50,000+ residents can impose up to $1,000 a day for a first violation and $5,000 a day for a repeat, so balances grow fast. A lien can’t be foreclosed on a homestead, but it still has to be dealt with before a normal sale closes.

RER’s Lien Section sells a lien payoff letter for $80.03 per folio (up to 3 business days) and a full violations search for $320.12. When we buy, we order the search, get the payoff or negotiate the compliance path, and pay it out of the purchase price at closing. You don’t have to fix the violation first. We’ve closed Miami-Dade purchases under a county compliance consent agreement for exactly this situation.

Facing foreclosure in Miami-Dade

Florida forecloses through the courts. Once a judge enters final judgment, the sale has to be set 20 to 35 days later (Fla. Stat. 45.031), and in Miami-Dade it’s held online at miamidade.realforeclose.com, run by Clerk of the Court and Comptroller Juan Fernandez-Barquin. The winning bidder puts down 5%; ten days after the certificate of sale, title passes. Until that sale happens, you can still sell. A cash buyer who can close in days is often the only way to beat the date.

Inherited a house in Miami-Dade

Probate in Miami-Dade runs through the 11th Judicial Circuit’s probate court. If the estate in Florida, minus exempt property, is worth $150,000 or less, or the owner died more than two years ago, the family may qualify for summary administration, which is faster and cheaper (Fla. Stat. 735.201). We can buy from the personal representative once letters of administration are issued, or work with your probate attorney on the timing.

Older condos and the recertification rule

Miami-Dade requires buildings to be recertified at 30 years of age and every 10 years after; coastal condo and co-op buildings of three or more stories built since 1998 start at 25 years. It’s still called the “40-year recertification”, but the county now uses 30. Single-family homes and duplexes are exempt. Missed recertifications draw a $510 citation, penalties up to $10,000 per violation, and liens. If your condo’s association is facing a recertification assessment, we buy those units too.

Florida’s new homestead amendment and what it means in Miami-Dade

Florida voters approved Amendment 3 on November 3, 2026. Starting January 1, 2027, it raises the homestead exemption on non-school property taxes to $150,000 for the 2027 tax year and $250,000 for 2028, with inflation adjustments after that. School taxes keep the current exemption. What a Miami-Dade homeowner actually saves depends on the home’s assessed value and the tax rates where it sits, and lawmakers still have to pass implementing rules in 2027, so details may change. For your own property, start with the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser’s homestead exemption page, and read our full Amendment 3 guide.

The exemption only helps a home that is someone’s permanent residence. A Miami-Dade house that is vacant, rented out, or inherited and not lived in usually does not get it, and the same amendment lowers the yearly assessment cap on non-homestead property from 10% to 5%. If you own a house like that in Miami-Dade and the taxes, repairs or liens are piling up, we can help. We buy as a cash investor and not as a real estate brokerage, so there are no commissions, and we pay the standard title and closing fees.

What we buy and how it works

What we buy. All residential and commercial property: single-family homes, townhomes, condos, multifamily (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and apartment buildings), mobile homes on land you own (not in land-lease parks), vacant lots and land, and commercial property (retail, office, industrial and mixed-use), as-is, in any condition. That includes the hard ones: code violations and liens, foreclosure, probate and inherited property, hostile holdover occupants, hoarder houses, and sinkhole, storm or flood damage.

How it works. 1) Tell us about the property online or call (786) 753-8500. 2) We look at it with you, in person or by video, and make a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours. 3) You pick the closing date: as soon as 7 days, or later if you need time. We pay the standard seller closing costs, and you pay no commissions. We buy directly; in some sales we close alongside a partner investor, but you sign one contract with us and get one closing date either way.

Miami-Dade FAQ

Can I sell a Miami-Dade house that has an open code violation? Yes. We get the RER payoff or the city’s lien amount and pay it at closing, or close under a compliance agreement and handle the repairs after.

How long does a cash sale take in Miami-Dade? Usually 7 to 14 days once title is clear. Liens or probate add time, and we’ll tell you how much up front.

Do you buy condos facing a recertification assessment? Yes, as long as the unit can be transferred under the association’s rules.
