Studios in Miami: Prices, Meter, and Rental Threshold, 2026
| Segment and Floor Area | Lot Price and Meter | Who It Suits and the Investor's Calculation |
|---|---|---|
| Micro-studio on the secondary market 25–30 m² older stock, unfurnished |
$90,699–120,000 meter $3,600–4,000 |
First entry into the U.S. market, rental to a single occupant on a yearly basis. The lowest threshold: to reach 6% gross, $453 per month in rent from the lower price of the segment is enough. |
| Spacious studio on the secondary market 36–39 m² with an alcove or junior-1 |
about $152,000 meter $4,222 |
Housing for oneself or a student, long-term rental to a couple. The best resale in the segment: the alcove reads as a bedroom, and the circle of buyers is wider. The threshold for 6% is $760 per month. |
| Studio in a new build 25–39 m² Downtown, Wynwood |
from $450,000 meter $11,538–18,000 |
Personal housing in a new building, short-term rental where both the building and the city permit it. The same floor area as on the secondary market, but for 6% you need $2,250 per month — four times more. |
| Branded studio and condo-hotel 25–39 m² with service and management |
up to $781,000 meter $20,026–31,240 |
Personal vacation plus rental management without your involvement. The income is shared with the operator, so add their share to the threshold of $3,905 per month. A purchase for the lifestyle, not for the yield. |
The meter was calculated by dividing the lot price by its floor area; the rental threshold — as the lot price multiplied by 6% and divided by twelve, before fees, tax, and insurance. The lot price in each segment is taken from active listings of autumn 2026.

Sale of Studio Apartments in Miami
Discount House has collected Miami studios from owners and developers on the page. The filter searches by price, floor area, area, year the building was constructed, size of the fee, and the minimum rental term permitted by the building's rules — for a studio, the last key decides whether it is possible to earn on rental at all. Lots with furniture, with an existing tenant, and with a management program are marked separately. Leave a request — the manager will send the building rules, the association budget, and the size of the fee for the specific lot.
How a Studio Differs as a Product
A studio is the only format where the meter is the most expensive in the residential market, and this is not the seller's markup but arithmetic. The bathroom, kitchen zone, and entrance occupy approximately the same floor area in any layout, and the smaller the lot, the larger the share of the meter they consume. The proof is visible right in the search results: two lots, 25 and 30 m², are on the market at one price — five meters of difference cost the buyer of the smaller lot a fifth of the overpayment per meter.
Hence the selection rule: in studios, one compares not the price but the meter and what is included in that meter. Clarify whether the balcony is included in the stated floor area: in a large apartment this is a trifle, in a studio — a tenth of the floor area. Four types of studios differ precisely in the usability of the area: an alcove gives a separated sleeping place, a junior-1 — a solid partition, a classic studio — a single space, a condo-hotel — a room with service that cannot be remodeled to suit oneself.
Two Studio Markets Under One Request
The floor area is the same; the price differs three- to tenfold. A secondary studio costs like a mid-range car; a studio in a new building — like a two-bedroom apartment in a bedroom district. For the surcharge you get new utilities, a pool, a gym, and a concierge, an address in a new building, and the absence of mandatory inspections in the coming years. What you do not get is a proportional growth in rent: the rate for a studio in one city holds in a narrow band, because it is paid by a single tenant with a single salary, not by a family.
Therefore, the rental calculation for studios separates the segments rigidly: the secondary market is an investment story; a new build and a brand are a lifestyle story. There is no third option in this format, and a seller who promises "both a new building and a high yield" is calculating without the cost of ownership.
What to Check Before the Deposit
Four points that in studios decide more than the price.
- Minimum rental term. The building rules may require a lease no shorter than six months or a year, while the city separately prohibits short-term rental by zoning. Both levels are checked: a studio is most often bought for short-term rental — and it is precisely that which is restricted.
- Mortgage. For a studio, the bank lacks comparable transactions for the appraisal, so approval takes longer, and the down payment is required higher than for a regular apartment. With cash, the deal closes noticeably faster.
- Resale. The circle of buyers is narrow: an investor and a single occupant. Families do not look at studios, so it takes longer to list, and negotiation runs deeper.
- Maintenance. The fee is calculated per square foot, so in absolute money a studio is the cheapest lot in the building. But a one-time assessment for capital repairs is distributed by shares, and for a small budget it hits harder.
Transaction, Costs, and the Foreigner
A foreigner can buy a studio in Miami without citizenship and residency; there are no restrictions on housing type. The procedure: an offer with a deposit, an inspection period with the right to exit and take back the money, a request for the association documents, a title search and title insurance, board approval of the buyer, and closing. On your side, the documents required are a passport, confirmation of the origin of funds, and an application for the board, and for rental — a U.S. tax number. Registration is to an individual, in joint ownership, to a trust, or to a company.
Beyond the price, count the registration fee, title insurance, the services of the title company and attorney. Property tax — 1.7–2.0% of appraised value per year, and for the buyer it is calculated anew: the previous owner's exemption does not pass. On sale, 15% of the transaction amount is withheld from a foreigner against federal tax. The commission is paid by the seller.
