“South Florida by the numbers” is a web feature that catalogs the most notable, quirky and surprising real estate statistics.

It’s summer in the Magic City, and we all know what that means: not much is going on. Oh sure, the Marlins hosted baseball’s All Star Game this month (yawn), South Miami just became the first city to mandate solar panels on all new homes (sexy!), and with much fanfare, All Aboard Florida launched the Brightline … (oops! Sorry, delayed until fall). So in lieu of the usual action, how are we to dazzle you with this month’s edition? Where do we turn for that fascinating Miami real estate data that makes your pulse pound and your head spin? Celebrities! Bright and shiny and always moving to and from our dynamic region. So join us as we reach for the stars in this month’s edition of South Florida by the numbers.
