September 2026 numbers are based on MLS data for closings September 1–30, 2026 (September 1–30, 2025 for comparison), retrieved in November 2026. Cities are defined by the County municipal code recorded with each sale. Data is entered in the MLS by listing agents; it is deemed reliable but not guaranteed and may contain errors. Includes all brokerages’ sales, not only ours.
Based on information from the Southeast Florida Multiple Listing Service (SEFMLS) / MIAMI Association of REALTORS® for the period September 1–30, 2026, retrieved in November 2026; compiled by The Fragomeno Group, not by the MLS.
The gap compares the final sale price, less seller credits, with the original list price. Includes sales that closed with no days on market. Past sales do not predict the price of any home. Brickell here means zips 33129, 33130 and 33131 (condos); it excludes Downtown buildings north of the river and includes Brickell Key. September 2025: 85 sales, same area rules. The county comparison is all Miami-Dade condo sales in September 2026, not single-family. Excluded as outside Brickell: 350 S Miami Ave, 151 SE 1st St, 700 NE 24th St, Biscayne Boulevard addresses, and the One Miami and Millennium Tower buildings.
That is what Brickell homes sold for last month. Here is how Brickell got here.

News reports, not our transactions; The Fragomeno Group was not involved. Prices as reported. Listings are asking prices, not sales.
LAST CHECKED: NOVEMBER 6, 2026 · NEWS COVERAGE AND PUBLISHED OFFICIAL PAGES, AUG 7 – NOV 5; PROJECTS, LAST 36 MONTHS. ITEMS MARKED “REPORTED” COME FROM NEWS COVERAGE. COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS ARE DRAWN FROM PUBLISHED REPORTS AND PUBLIC POSTINGS.
SCHOOLS & COLLEGES
Schools are listed by name, as the sources below describe them. We do not rate or rank schools. Public school assignment depends on your address, so confirm it with the district. The Florida Department of Education says it does not verify the data private schools submit, and a listing is not an approval.
School assignment depends on the exact address, so use the district’s locator. The public school pages are the district’s 2024–25 dashboards. Private school details come from public directories; please confirm with each school.
Private schools within about five miles are included because many families drive to school and work across city lines. Distances are measured from the center of the neighborhood, using the Miami-Dade County municipal boundary map and each school’s street address. The private schools were chosen from Niche’s list of top private schools in Miami-Dade County and are shown in no particular order. Catholic parish schools also come from the Archdiocese of Miami’s Catholic Schools Directory. A listing is not a recommendation, ranking or endorsement; check each school’s own site for current grades and admissions.

To see which public school serves an address, use the school locator and enrollment information on the Miami-Dade County Public Schools site. Third-party school ratings and reviews also exist, for example Niche and GreatSchools. We do not produce, endorse or verify them, and they are not a substitute for visiting a school and checking with the district.
