The focused cut

Same twelve months, ZIP by ZIP

A city median hides a lot. This is as fine as the data goes before a median stops meaning anything.

Each row is the whole ZIP, not this city’s slice of it, so the rows add up to more than the 672 sales in Sunny Isles Beach itself. Showing the 1 ZIPs where Sunny Isles Beach is the majority of sales and at least 25 homes changed hands.

Renting

What tenants actually signed for

Closed leases, never asking prices. Bedroom counts are never blended — a studio median and a 3-bedroom median are different markets.

2 bedroom498$3,500

A premium is a price difference, not proof the feature caused it — waterfront homes are often bigger and newer too.

The economy figures are county-wide — that is as fine as the federal data goes. The Census figures are for the city itself, and lag by a year or two because that is when the survey lands.
