Home values
The typical home value in ZIP 33139 was $464,044 in August 2026, up 0.04% from $463,844 in August 2025, according to the Zillow Home Value Index. In ZIP 33140 it was $684,957, up 2.4%. The index is a modeled typical value for the middle third of homes, single-family homes and condos together, not a sale price, and it covers each whole ZIP code, so it says little about single-family homes on the islands. Zillow’s figure for Miami Beach as a whole was $522,429, up 1.0% on the year. More in our home prices guide.
