About our information

Data sources and methodology

This page explains where the information on Miami Condo HQ comes from, how figures are calculated and how often each source is refreshed. Miami Condo HQ is published by Eltherion, LLC; Nick McCandless is the author of record. We are not a licensed brokerage. Content is not reviewed by a licensed real estate agent or broker and is not professional advice.

Listings

Miami does not currently have a live MLS feed on this platform. The unit listings shown are illustrative samples. They are labeled as samples, set to noindex, left out of the property sitemap, carry no listing structured data and are excluded from market statistics. Their prices and availability are not market evidence.

Building profiles

The building directory combines profiles inherited from earlier versions of the site, named residential buildings mapped in OpenStreetMap and buildings from the MiamiCondos.com floor plan collection. Not every directory entry has received an individual source review. Profiles add three kinds of checked information where they exist:

  • County record (379 profiles). A match to Miami-Dade County’s condominium and property address records, attached only when the record’s street address matches the profile’s. A tax or address record does not establish current building policies.
  • Municipality (419 profiles). The mapped point checked against Miami-Dade County’s municipal boundaries. This is a boundary lookup for the mapped point, not a legal survey, and it is dropped if the building’s mapped location changes.
  • Source notes (421 profiles). Field-specific research with linked sources, a note of the facts each source supports, and the date the notes were reviewed. That date applies to the cited facts only, not to prices, association finances, inspections or insurance.

A profile’s “Updated” date is the latest of these review and check dates. Profiles without any of them carry no date.

Condominium associations register

The condo associations pages are built from the Florida DBPR condominium public records, Dade and Monroe Counties, last checked . A record identifies the association the state has registered for a condominium, the declaration’s recorded date and the unit count. It says nothing about finances, rules, inspections or current management. Condominiums with at least 20 units have their own page.

A register record is linked to one of our building profiles only on address evidence; a name match alone never links them. Miami Condo HQ is an independent research site, not an association or its management company.

Walkability

Neighborhood walkability pages count everyday places mapped in OpenStreetMap within about 1 km of the neighborhood’s center: places to eat and drink, grocery stores and markets, everyday shops, transit stops, pharmacies and clinics, schools, and parks and recreation. The counts are collected with a script we run manually and store with the site, most recently on October 7, 2026, and currently cover 19 Miami neighborhoods. We do not calculate a walkability score, and the counts are not the trademarked Walk Score. A neighborhood that has not been measured shows no counts rather than zero.

Floor plans

Floor plans are published for 61 buildings. Each plan file is published only after it has been individually approved: we record its source document, the basis on which we may publish it, the review date and a fingerprint of the exact file, and we check it visually for third-party watermarks.

Photographs and illustrations

A daily job looks for a real photograph of each building, in order of preference: a freely licensed Wikimedia Commons image and, where enabled, street-level imagery. Where a license requires credit, the photograph shows its author, source and license. Photographs and floor plans are generally displayed with this site’s domain mark; we never add any other brand’s mark. Curated building photographs and downloadable documents are checked visually for third-party watermarks before publication. Images labeled as illustrations are representative artwork and do not show a specific building or residence.

Calculators

The calculators produce estimates from the assumptions shown on each page and the figures you enter. They are not advice and do not replace a lender, title company, tax professional or attorney.

  • Closing cost calculator: government transfer and recording taxes and Florida’s promulgated title insurance premium, using rates read on official pages; each source and the date it was checked is listed on the page. A cost we could not confirm on an official page is named but not estimated.
  • Ownership cost calculator: a monthly scenario built only from your entries, with a fixed rate, fully amortizing loan. A cost you leave blank is not treated as zero.
  • Rent vs. buy calculator: compares owning and renting under your assumptions. Home value and rent growth default to 0%, and closing costs, selling costs, maintenance, tax effects and the return on the down payment are excluded.

How often information changes

  • Building photographs: a daily job.
  • County, boundary and research records, the condominium register, walkability counts and floor plans: updated when we re-run or review them, with the check date shown beside the information.
  • Articles: each shows its publication date and, when revised, an updated date. Dates reflect actual content work, not site deployments.

This site covers 19 Miami neighborhoods and 433 building profiles. Coverage is limited, and a missing value is not evidence that a fee is zero or that nothing is available.
