How is the Doral real estate market performing in Q2 2026?
Q2 2026 (April through June) saw 98 single-family homes close across ZIPs 33178 and 33166. The Doral core (33178) posted a median sale price of $1,025,000 with 43 days on market and 3.7 months of supply. The Miami Springs edge (33166) posted a median sale price of $860,000 with 37 days on market and only 1.1 months of supply, indicating a much tighter seller's market. Sale-to-list price ratios sit at 95-96% across both ZIPs, suggesting sellers are pricing close to market rather than reaching for premium above ask.


The Doral single-family market ran on two clocks in Q2 2026. Inside the core Doral ZIP of 33178 — home to Doral Isles, Doral Commons, Doral Breeze, and the newer master-planned communities — the market moved in balanced territory with a healthy pipeline of active inventory. Along the eastern edge in 33166, where Downtown Doral South Phase meets Country Club Estates and the older Miami Springs housing stock, the market ran significantly hotter: less than half the DOM in some segments and a fraction of the months-of-supply.

I'm Elizabeth Costa, a Realtor with The Keyes Company based in Doral. This report reflects the actual MLS data closed in the April 1 through June 30, 2026 window for single-family homes only. Every number below comes directly from that dataset — no forecasts, no borrowed estimates, no invented context.


Q2 2026 at a Glance

Combined single-family activity across the two Doral ZIPs (33178 and 33166) during Q2 2026:

Q2 2026 SFH Combined (ZIPs 33178 + 33166)

  • Closed transactions: 98 single-family homes
  • Currently active listings: 83 single-family homes
  • Under contract (pending): 35 single-family homes
  • Combined pipeline: 216 SFH transactions or pipeline entries in Q2

The two ZIPs diverge sharply once you separate them. Here is the side-by-side of the closed transactions:

Metric (Closed Q2 2026) ZIP 33178 (Doral core) ZIP 33166 (Miami Springs edge)
Closed transactions 53 45
Median sale price $1,025,000 $860,000
Median price per sqft $393 $486
Median living sqft 2,580 1,846
Median days on market 43 days 37 days
Sale-to-list ratio 96.2% 95.7%
Sale-to-original-list ratio 94.4% 95.3%
Months of supply 3.7 months 1.1 months

The single most striking pattern is not the price gap — it is the price-per-square-foot inversion. Homes in 33166 sold for $486 per square foot at the median while homes in 33178 sold for $393. The Miami Springs edge sits 24% higher on a per-square-foot basis despite lower absolute prices, driven by smaller lot sizes, older established inventory, and land scarcity along the corridor.


ZIP 33178 — Doral Core Deep Dive

The 33178 ZIP encompasses Doral's core master-planned communities and the newer developments west of the Palmetto Expressway. Median year built for the closed Q2 2026 sample was 2001, with construction ranging from 1987 to 2019.

Pricing and speed

  • Median sale price: $1,025,000 across 53 closed transactions
  • Mean sale price: $1,095,500 (the pull upward from luxury sales)
  • Sale range: $580,000 low, $3,650,000 high
  • Median price per square foot: $393
  • Median days on market: 43 days

Price bracket distribution (Q2 2026 closed sales)

Price Bracket Closed Share
Under $700,000 5 9%
$700,000 to $1,000,000 20 38%
$1,000,000 to $1,500,000 23 43%
$1,500,000 to $2,000,000 3 6%
$2,000,000 and above 2 4%

Over four in five sales in 33178 during Q2 2026 fell between $700,000 and $1,500,000. The luxury tier ($2M and above) accounted for only 4% of transactions, but the mean price of $1,095,500 sitting above the median of $1,025,000 confirms those luxury sales pulled the average upward.

Most active subdivisions (Q2 2026, closed sales)

Subdivision Closed Median Sale Median PPSF
Doral Commons Residential 6 $1,395,000 $416
Doral Breeze 5 $1,025,000 $316
Doral Isles Cayman 4 $960,000 $445
Doral Isles North Sec One 3 $1,080,000 $378

Doral Commons Residential led both in transaction count and median price. Doral Breeze delivered five transactions at the exact median for the ZIP ($1,025,000), giving it strong pricing anchor status. The Doral Isles communities represented multiple sub-neighborhoods that together account for a meaningful share of Q2 closings.

The pool premium in 33178

Among the 53 closed sales in 33178:

  • 15 homes with a pool sold at a median price per square foot of $447
  • 38 homes without a pool sold at a median price per square foot of $373

The pool premium in 33178 works out to roughly 20% higher price per square foot compared to comparable homes without a pool. For seller strategy conversations, this is a meaningful data point — but it should be weighed against the actual maintenance cost, insurance implication, and neighborhood expectations rather than treated as automatic pricing math.

Waterfront and financing profile in 33178

  • 13 of the 53 closed transactions (25%) were waterfront homes
  • Financing mix on closed sales: 60% Conventional, 23% Cash, 6% FHA, 6% Non-Qualified Mortgage, 2% VA

The 23% cash share is notably higher than typical residential markets and reflects the international and investor buyer profile Doral consistently attracts. For sellers, this means offer strength is often less about DTI and more about proof-of-funds and timeline flexibility.


ZIP 33166 — Miami Springs Edge Deep Dive

ZIP 33166 covers the eastern edge of the Doral corridor, running into Miami Springs and Country Club Estates. The single-family stock here is significantly older than 33178 — median year built for closed Q2 2026 sales was 1953, with construction dates ranging from 1926 to 2024. This is established South Florida housing stock with mid-century architectural character.

Pricing and speed

  • Median sale price: $860,000 across 45 closed transactions
  • Mean sale price: $931,958
  • Sale range: $530,000 low, $2,325,000 high
  • Median price per square foot: $486
  • Median days on market: 37 days

Note the DOM: 37 days versus 43 days in 33178. Combined with the months-of-supply metric below, 33166 is running as a meaningfully tighter market despite the lower absolute price point.

Price bracket distribution (Q2 2026 closed sales)

Price Bracket Closed Share
Under $700,000 11 24%
$700,000 to $1,000,000 18 40%
$1,000,000 to $1,500,000 13 29%
$1,500,000 to $2,000,000 2 4%
$2,000,000 and above 1 2%

Nearly one in four sales in 33166 fell under $700,000 — a bracket that represents only 9% of activity in 33178. The center of gravity in 33166 sits in the $700K to $1M range (40% of transactions).

Most active subdivisions (Q2 2026, closed sales)

Subdivision Closed Median Sale Median PPSF
Downtown Doral South Phase 8 $1,057,500 $467
Country Club Estates Sec 6 $1,150,000 $416
Rev of Rev FEC Addn Hialeah 5 $700,000 $526
Golf Course Addn Hialeah 4 $792,500 $491

Downtown Doral South Phase led activity at 8 closed transactions — this subdivision straddles the ZIP boundary and reflects the newer Downtown Doral inventory even when the ZIP designation reads 33166. Country Club Estates delivered the highest median at $1,150,000. The older established communities (Rev of Rev FEC Addn Hialeah, Golf Course Addn Hialeah) trade at lower absolute prices but at higher PPSF, consistent with the smaller lot pattern.

Financing profile in 33166

  • Financing mix on closed sales: 69% Conventional, 16% Cash, 4% VA, 4% Non-QM, 4% FHA
  • Waterfront share: 3 of 45 (7%)

Cash share in 33166 is meaningfully lower than 33178 (16% versus 23%), consistent with 33166's older, more owner-occupant profile compared to Doral core's international and investor mix.


Months of Supply and Absorption

Months of supply is calculated as (active inventory) divided by (average monthly closed sales during Q2). A value of 6 months is generally considered a balanced market. Above 6 months tips toward buyer's favor. Below 6 months tips toward seller's favor.

Q2 2026 Months of Supply — SFH

  • ZIP 33178: 66 active listings, average 17.7 closings per month, 3.7 months of supply — balanced-to-seller's-market territory
  • ZIP 33166: 17 active listings, average 15.0 closings per month, 1.1 months of supply — strong seller's-market territory

This is the single most important divergence between the two ZIPs. In 33178, buyers currently have 66 active options to choose from and homes are moving at a pace that gives negotiation room. In 33166, buyers have only 17 active options against nearly the same monthly demand, producing a much tighter market where well-priced listings tend to move quickly.

For sellers, this changes the strategy conversation. A seller in 33178 typically prices to compete against active inventory. A seller in 33166 typically prices to test demand, because the inventory competition is thinner.


June 2026 Highlight

Isolating June closings from Q2 shows the trajectory heading into summer:

June 2026 SFH Closings

  • ZIP 33178: 14 closings in June (down from 21 in April, 18 in May) — a modest slowdown into summer
  • Median June sale price 33178: $962,500 (below the Q2 median of $1,025,000)
  • Median June PPSF 33178: $399 (essentially flat versus the Q2 median of $393)
  • ZIP 33166: 18 closings in June (up from 10 in April, 15 in May) — accelerating through the quarter
  • Median June sale price 33166: $882,000 (slightly above the Q2 median of $860,000)
  • Median June PPSF 33166: $501 (above the Q2 median of $486)

The two ZIPs finished the quarter moving in opposite directions on volume: 33178 cooling modestly, 33166 accelerating. Price levels remained roughly consistent in both, meaning the change is happening on transaction count rather than pricing power.


What Q2 2026 Tells Sellers

Three practical takeaways for homeowners considering a listing in either ZIP:

1. Price close to market, not above. Both ZIPs are closing at 94-96% of the original list price. That means sellers who priced with a "test the top" cushion of 5% or more spent longer on market and often adjusted before selling. Pricing within 2-3% of expected sale is delivering faster closings and stronger negotiations.

2. In 33166, use inventory scarcity carefully. With only 1.1 months of supply, sellers have meaningful pricing leverage. But the sale-to-original ratio of 95.3% shows that overpricing still costs time. The "leverage" is not about pushing higher — it is about attracting multiple qualified offers at a fair market price.

3. In 33178, feature curation matters more. With 3.7 months of supply and buyers seeing 66 active options, staging, professional photography, updated finishes, and pool marketing become more consequential to standing out. The 20% pool PPSF premium in the closed data is a data point worth understanding before pricing.


What Q2 2026 Tells Buyers

Three practical takeaways for buyers active in the Doral area:

1. Cash-buyer competition is real in 33178. Nearly one in four Q2 closings was a cash transaction. For financed buyers, this means offer strength matters more than a slight price stretch — pre-approval quality, loan officer credibility, and appraisal contingency handling can all influence the seller's decision beyond the number.

2. In 33166, act on well-priced inventory quickly. With 37 median days on market and 1.1 months of supply, well-priced listings do not sit. Buyers who are pre-approved and available for immediate showings have a structural advantage over those still in the pre-shopping phase.

3. The PPSF difference is real, not noise. Paying $486 per square foot in 33166 versus $393 in 33178 reflects lot size and land-scarcity dynamics, not equivalent value. Compare on total sale price and living area rather than PPSF alone when evaluating options across the two ZIPs.


Data Methodology and Sources

All data in this report comes directly from Miami-Dade MLS records exported at the end of the second quarter 2026 (window: April 1 through June 30). Universe:

  • Property type: Single-family homes (SFH) only. Condos, townhomes, and multi-family are not included in this report.
  • ZIPs covered: 33178 (Doral core) and 33166 (Miami Springs edge and eastern Doral corridor). ZIP 33172 was reviewed but excluded — the single-family universe for that ZIP was below 10 records across active, pending, and closed categories, which is insufficient for statistically reliable trend analysis.
  • Sample sizes: 66 active, 24 pending, 53 closed in 33178. 17 active, 11 pending, 45 closed in 33166.
  • Calculations: Medians are used rather than averages wherever possible to resist outlier distortion. Months of supply is calculated as active inventory divided by average monthly closings during Q2 (closings divided by 3).

For deeper context on Miami-Dade market data across all property types, the Miami Association of Realtors statistics library publishes monthly summaries at the county level. For further context on national single-family trends, the National Association of Realtors research library is the standard reference.

This report is not a formal appraisal. Nothing here should substitute for a professional Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) tailored to a specific property. If you need pricing context for a specific address in Doral, I am happy to prepare a full CMA based on same-subdivision comps and recent activity.


Frequently Asked Questions

The median sale price for single-family homes in Doral core ZIP 33178 was $1,025,000 across 53 closed transactions during Q2 2026 (April through June). In the adjacent ZIP 33166 covering the Miami Springs edge, the median sale price was $860,000 across 45 closed transactions.

How long do homes take to sell in Doral in 2026?

Median days on market for closed single-family sales during Q2 2026 was 43 days in ZIP 33178 and 37 days in ZIP 33166. Well-priced listings tend to move faster in 33166 due to tighter inventory (1.1 months of supply versus 3.7 months in 33178).

Is the Doral real estate market a seller's market or a buyer's market in 2026?

It depends on the specific ZIP. Doral core ZIP 33178 sits at 3.7 months of supply, which is balanced-to-seller's territory. The adjacent ZIP 33166 sits at 1.1 months of supply, which is a strong seller's market. Both ZIPs are closing at 94-96% of original list price, indicating pricing discipline is required from sellers to move inventory efficiently.

What is the price per square foot in Doral?

Median price per square foot for closed single-family sales in Q2 2026 was $393 in ZIP 33178 and $486 in ZIP 33166. The higher PPSF in 33166 reflects smaller median lot and living-area sizes rather than higher absolute prices. Homes in 33178 had a median living area of 2,580 square feet, while 33166 had a median of 1,846 square feet.

Which Doral subdivisions had the most sales in Q2 2026?

In ZIP 33178, Doral Commons Residential led with 6 closed transactions at a median of $1,395,000, followed by Doral Breeze with 5 sales at $1,025,000 median, Doral Isles Cayman with 4 sales at $960,000 median, and Doral Isles North Sec One with 3 sales at $1,080,000 median. In ZIP 33166, Downtown Doral South Phase led with 8 closings at $1,057,500 median, followed by Country Club Estates with 6 sales at $1,150,000 median.

Do homes with pools sell for more in Doral?

Yes. Among closed sales in ZIP 33178 during Q2 2026, homes with a pool sold at a median of $447 per square foot compared to $373 per square foot for homes without a pool. That works out to roughly a 20% price-per-square-foot premium. This is a general market signal, not a guarantee for a specific home — pool maintenance, insurance impact, and neighborhood expectations all factor into whether the premium holds for a specific property.

How many cash buyers are there in Doral in 2026?

Cash accounted for 23% of closed single-family sales in ZIP 33178 during Q2 2026 and 16% of closed sales in ZIP 33166. Conventional financing was the most common financing type in both ZIPs (60% in 33178, 69% in 33166). For financed buyers, this level of cash competition means offer strength, pre-approval quality, and contingency structure matter as much as the offer price.

Are Doral home prices going up or down in 2026?

Within Q2 2026, price levels stayed roughly consistent in both ZIPs. In ZIP 33178, the June median sale price of $962,500 was slightly below the full Q2 median of $1,025,000, though price per square foot remained essentially flat at $399 versus $393 for the full quarter. In ZIP 33166, the June median of $882,000 came in slightly above the Q2 median of $860,000. Full-year 2026 trend context requires data beyond this 90-day window.

Why is ZIP 33172 not included in this Doral market report?

ZIP 33172 covers Sweetwater and portions of eastern Doral, but the single-family home universe in that ZIP during Q2 2026 was below the threshold for statistically reliable analysis — 6 active listings, 5 closed sales, and 4 pending during the 90-day window. Sweetwater's residential inventory skews toward condos and multi-family rather than single-family homes. A separate report covering the Sweetwater condo and multi-family market would provide more meaningful data for that ZIP.

When will the next Doral market report be published?

The next Doral market report will cover Q3 2026 (July through September) and will be published in early October 2026. For interim updates or specific property questions between quarterly reports, I am available directly.
