If Miami maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 1.8%, median prices could reach $2,407,712 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Miami pull back 10-15% from $2,093,663, with vacancy rising to 4.5% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

• Flood risk: HIGH (qld_elevation_proxy) — order a flood certificate for the specific address before commit
• - Premium price point limits buyer pool and increases interest rate sensitivity
• - Distance from CBD may limit long-term capital growth potential

Monitor vacancy trends and price movements over the next 6-12 months. Only enter if a property can be acquired at or below median pricing with yields exceeding 4.0%.

• Entry range: $1,884,297 – $2,303,029
