How these figures are calculated

* Market condition. Market condition compares a county's share of active listings with a price reduction and its median days on market with the Florida statewide figures Realtor.com publishes for the same month. Both above the statewide figure: leaning buyer's market. Both below: leaning seller's market. Anything else, including a tie or one missing metric: balanced. Both metrics missing, or no statewide figure for that month: shown as —. This is a read of asking-side listing data only; it is not months of inventory or a measure of closed sales. Florida statewide, September 2026: 20.1% of listings with a price cut, 81 median days on market. Methodology · Data dictionary

Residential. Realtor.com® Economic Research, monthly. Listing counts, days on market and listing prices come from the monthly history; price-cut share and $/SF are stored for the latest month (September 2026) only. Earlier months show the snapshot for that month, not an average. YoY compares a month with the same month a year earlier; for September 2026 it uses Realtor.com's published YoY figures.

Commercial. Florida Department of Revenue tax roll (NAL/SDF) and Florida Department of State (Sunbiz), via LGData; Linton Global calculations. Commercial (DOR 010-039) and industrial (040-049) parcels. Sales and $/SF = arm's-length single-parcel sales (DOR qualification codes 01-02) on the current roll, excluding hotels/motels (DOR 039, which in resort counties includes condo-hotel and vacation-rental units). Areas with fewer than 5 parcels, and $/SF medians from fewer than 5 sales, are suppressed.

Work the numbers

What is the average building area per parcel in Airport West & Medley (ZIPs 33126, 33166)?
63.7 million SF ÷ 3,801 parcels ≈ 16,753 SF. An average can hide a few very large buildings.
Hypothetical: a 17,000 SF building in Airport West & Medley priced at the ZIP 33126 median of $326 per SF. What is the price?
17,000 × $326 = $5.54 million. That is arithmetic on a median, not an appraisal or an opinion of value.
Same hypothetical 17,000 SF building, with an assumed 7.5% cap rate. What NOI would $5.54 million need?
$5.54 million × 7.5% = $415,650 a year. The cap rate is an assumption for practice, so check the actual rent roll and expenses.
With $415,650 of NOI, what is the most annual debt service an assumed 1.25 DSCR allows?
$415,650 ÷ 1.25 = $332,520 a year. Lender terms vary, so treat 1.25 as an example.
ZIP 33126 has a median of $326 per SF and ZIP 33166 $323. What is the gap on a 17,000 SF building?
$3 × 17,000 = $51,000. ZIP medians can rest on few sales, so check what actually sold.
About how many industrial parcels are in Airport West & Medley (ZIPs 33126, 33166)?
ZIP 33126: 24.2% of 1,171 ≈ 283; ZIP 33166: 73.7% of 2,630 ≈ 1,938.

Airport West & Medley: Market Overview

Medley is a small town that is almost entirely industrial, with large outdoor storage, building-materials yards and manufacturing. The Airport West area holds mid-size distribution and freight buildings tied to air cargo.

Industrial outdoor storage (IOS), truck parking and container yards are in high demand because little land remains for them anywhere in the county.

Many buildings are older and owner-occupied, which makes owner-user sales and sale-leasebacks common.

Economic Drivers

Air Cargo
Miami International Airport freight operations
Outdoor Storage & Truck Yards
Scarce land for IOS and logistics
Manufacturing & Building Materials
Concrete, aggregates and fabrication
Highway Access

Why Invest in Airport West & Medley?

Industrial land is scarce in Miami-Dade, and this is where most of it is. Owner retirements, sale-leasebacks and environmental clean-up sites create opportunities for prepared buyers.
