Building a mid-range home in Miami comes with specific expectations, from quality construction materials to smart technology integration.
In 2024, a typical mid-range house includes concrete masonry unit (CMU) exterior walls, a concrete slab for both the second floor and roof, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, large-format porcelain tiles, a comprehensive smart home system, and custom cabinetry and millwork. These elements combine to create a durable, stylish, and functional residence that reflects modern living.
Cost Overview
For a home with these specifications, construction costs range between $500 and $550 per square foot. A typical mid-range home in Miami, measuring around 5,000 square feet, would therefore fall in the ballpark of $2.5 million to $2.75 million for construction alone.
Additional Costs to Consider
Beyond construction, two additional expenses are important to consider: the cost of the land and the “soft costs.” The cost of land in Miami varies widely and depends on the specific location you choose, which can significantly impact the overall budget. Additionally, soft costs—typically 10% to 15% of the construction cost—cover design fees, permit expeditor fees, City and County permits, surveys, soil studies, and other essential services.
