Redfin's May 2026 reading put Hialeah's median sale price at $526,685 across all home types, up 9.7% year-over-year ($325/sqft, up 0.5% YoY). A separate, active-listings/MLS-sourced July 2026 figure instead cited a lower $451,750 median sold price -- sources disagree by roughly $75,000 on the precise figure even while agreeing Hialeah prices meaningfully below Coral Gables and Doral (base record).
Dense, older housing stock -- single-family homes and duplexes on small lots
Hialeah's housing stock is a dense grid of single-family homes and duplexes built up rapidly in the mid-20th century around industrial and manufacturing jobs, rather than a planned or master-designed community -- meaning smaller, closer-together lots than the newer, more spread-out suburbs in this batch (base record).
Standard Florida closing rules and the 2026 homestead exemption apply
Standard Florida closing costs run roughly 2%-5% of the purchase price, including the state's documentary stamp tax on the deed ($0.70 per $100 of sale price, customarily seller-paid). File for the homestead exemption promptly after closing on a primary residence -- $51,411 for 2026, up from $50,722 in 2025 -- which enrolls the property in the Save Our Homes assessed-value growth cap going forward.
