Housing in Kendall

Redfin's May 2026 reading put Kendall's median sale price at $549,671 across all home types, up 6.7% year-over-year. Because Kendall is a large, unincorporated CDP rather than a chartered municipal government, its informal boundaries vary by source -- Redfin also tracks a separate 'Kendall West' market -- so this figure is best read as broadly representative of the area rather than a single precisely-bounded city statistic (base record).
Established resale subdivisions, not new-construction communities
Unlike newer Miami-Dade suburbs built around master-planned communities, Kendall's housing stock is overwhelmingly resale -- single-family homes and townhouses in subdivisions built mostly from the 1970s through the 1990s. That means more mature landscaping and established neighborhoods, but less move-in-ready new construction and more likely need for updates on an older home.
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.
Key takeaways
- Median sale price: $549,671 (Redfin, May 2026), up 6.7% YoY -- though Kendall's informal, unincorporated boundaries mean this figure blends what other sources sometimes split into separate Kendall/Kendall West markets.
- Housing stock is dominated by resale single-family subdivisions built mostly 1970s-1990s, not new construction.
- Standard Florida closing costs (2%-5% of price) apply; the 2026 homestead exemption is $51,411.
- Expect more established landscaping and mature neighborhoods, and correspondingly less move-in-ready new-construction inventory, than in newer Miami-Dade suburbs like Doral.
