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. With 18 sales, a few homes can move the figure.
That is what Pinecrest homes sold for last month. Here is how Pinecrest got here.

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.
Public schools are listed as they appear on the Village of Pinecrest schools page; the private schools are among those it names. Addresses come from the Village’s 2022–23 brochure and directories, not all confirmed on each school’s own site.
Private schools within about five miles are included because many families drive to school and work across city lines. Distances are measured from the city limits, 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.
