The pull holds 181 folios in all. The ones not counted as homes are 21 cabanas and 1 reference folio for the common elements. They are real property with their own assessments, but they are not residences, so every figure on this page leaves them out.
Home sizes run from 486 to 2,920 square feet, with a median of 1,260. The roll records 104 one-bedroom, 47 two-bedroom, 4 three-bedroom and 1 four-bedroom; 3 folios carry no bedroom count on the roll. The median 2026 assessed value is $410,232; an assessment is set for tax purposes and is not a market price.
What have homes sold for since 2023?
Qualified arm’s-length sales only. Transfers the county flags as disqualified are excluded, a deed that covers several homes is not counted as one sale, and 2026 is a part year.
| Year | Qualified sales | Median price | Median $/sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 6 | $507,500 | $411 |
| 2024 | 4 | $555,000 | $440 |
| 2025 | 5 | $515,000 | $418 |
| 2026 | 3 | $600,000 | $397 |
Pooled across all 18 qualified sales since January 2023, the median is $523,250, or $420 per square foot. With 159 homes, that is about one home in 33 changing hands per year. Median price moves with the mix of floorplans that sold in a given year, so the per-foot column is the better like-for-like guide.
How owners did when they resold
A resale pair is the same home recorded as a qualified sale twice. The county record holds 461 such pairs at Crystal House. In 53 of them (11.5%) the later price was lower than the earlier one. Across all pairs the median change was +50.0%, over a median hold of 7.7 years. These are recorded prices only: they leave out closing costs, improvements, assessments and carrying costs, so a small recorded gain can still be a loss in cash.
The highest recorded sale
The highest qualified sale on the record is $1,275,000, on 8 July 2015, for a folio the county describes as a combined residence. Because the folio’s size may have changed when the units were combined, this page does not divide that price by its square footage.
Other Mid-Beach buildings on the same record
The same 12-month measure, taken the same way from the county record, for other buildings this site covers. Each number is the one on that building’s own page.
| Building | Sales, 12 months | Median price | Median $/sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crystal House | 6 | $555,000 | $397 |
| Capobella | 4 | $2,100,000 | $1,064 |
| Blue & Green Diamond | 7 | $2,000,000 | $1,187 |
| Fontainebleau Miami Beach | 12 | $953,000 | $1,562 |
Each building’s 12 months run to the date its county record was retrieved (15 September 2026, 23 September 2026), so the windows differ by days, not months.

What to check before you sign
- Confirm the folio, not just the unit number. Ask for the folio and read its own sale history and assessment on the Property Appraiser’s site.
- Ask the association for its milestone inspection status and its reserve study. Both can change what an owner pays after closing.
- Check any comparable you are shown against the county record. A deed that covered more than one unit, or a combined residence, can make a price per foot look far higher or lower than the building really trades.
- Ask what the monthly maintenance covers and whether any special assessment is approved or proposed. Get it in writing from the association.
