Compared to much of Miami-Dade, no — the median list price is $399,000 and the average price is about $263 per square foot. Listings currently range from $195,000 to $899,000, and there are no homes priced over $1M in the active pool, so this is one of the more attainable zones in the county.

How is the market right now?+
There are 170 active listings and 268 homes sold in the past 12 months, so it's active but not frantic. Homes take a median of 65 days to sell and sellers receive about 98% of their asking price on average, which means buyers generally have a bit of negotiating room.
