Fisher Island may be one of the easiest luxury real estate markets in Miami to misunderstand.
The address itself carries enormous weight.
But “Fisher Island” is not one condominium product.
A residence in 1980s Bayside Village can trade in the $3 million range.
An Oceanside residence can sell above $10 million.
A newer Palazzo home can exceed $20 million.
Six Fisher Island introduces another generation of ultra-luxury product entirely.
And all of these properties compete inside the same private island market.
That’s why a single Fisher Island average price can tell buyers surprisingly little.
The latest 2026 MLS data makes that distinction exceptionally clear.

The Fisher Island Condo Market at a Glance
Using the condo and villa records in the 2026 SEFMLS data (closed sales from January 1, 2026 to August 20th, and excluding the single-family estates in the same export, I calculate:
| 2026 Fisher Island Condo Market | Current Dataset |
|---|---|
| Active condos/villas | 38 |
| Median active asking price | ≈ $9.78M |
| Closed condo/villa sales | 15 |
| Closed sales volume | ≈ $133.0M |
| Median closed price | $7.4M |
| Median sold $/SF* | ≈ $1,970/SF |
| Highest closed condo sale | $28M |
Median sold $/SF is based on the 14 conventional closed records in the dataset that report a sold price per square foot.
The active condominium market currently stretches from approximately $3.75 million at Bayside Village to $39.95 million in the Palazzo collection. Six Fisher Island appears in the active MLS inventory at $17.1 million for a 3,872-square-foot residence.
The question isn’t simply:
“What does a Fisher Island condo cost?”
It’s:
“Which generation of Fisher Island real estate am I buying?”
38 Active Condos, But Inventory Is Not Evenly Distributed
The 38 active condominium and villa listings in the MLS data break down approximately as follows:
| Fisher Island Product | Active Listings |
| Palazzo Del Sol / Della Luna / Del Mare | 10 |
| Bayside Village | 9 |
| Bayview | 7 |
| Oceanside | 6 |
| Seaside | 5 |
| Six Fisher Island | 1 |
| Total | 38 |
This matters because 38 active listings does not mean a buyer has 38 realistic alternatives.
Someone considering a $35 million Palazzo residence probably isn’t deciding between that property and a $4 million Bayside condo.
Likewise, a buyer seeking a renovated three-bedroom in established Fisher Island inventory may not consider paying the premium attached to the island’s newest product.
The inventory needs to be segmented before it becomes useful.
Market One: Palazzo, Fisher Island’s Established Ultra-Luxury Benchmark
Palazzo Del Sol, Palazzo Della Luna and Palazzo Del Mare occupy the highest tier of Fisher Island’s established condominium market.
The current active dataset includes Palazzo asking prices from roughly $10.9 million to nearly $40 million, with several residences offered above $30 million.
And buyers have demonstrated that this isn’t merely aspirational pricing.
The 2026 closed records include:
- $28.0M: Palazzo Del Sol/Della Luna
- $15.0M: Palazzo Del Sol/Della Luna
- $14.425M: Palazzo Del Mare
- The $28 million sale closed at approximately $3,670 per square foot.
The $14.425 million Palazzo Del Mare sale closed at approximately $2,053 per square foot. That is about 44% less per square foot than the $28 million sale, in the same Palazzo tier and in the same year. It is also less per square foot than two 2026 Oceanside sales in older buildings. The Palazzo name did not set the price. The residence did.
That transaction is important because it establishes a real executable benchmark at the top of the delivered condominium market.
But it doesn’t establish the value of every Palazzo residence.
- Floor.
- Exposure.
- Terrace.
- Renovation.
- Residence size.
- Building.
- View.
- All still matter.
Fisher Island Miami Real Estate Guide 2026→
Market Two: Oceanside, Older Buildings With Serious Trophy Pricing
This is where Fisher Island becomes especially interesting.
The active MLS inventory includes Oceanside residences asking approximately $7.8 million to $27.5 million.
Yet the best Oceanside real estate continues to command extraordinary pricing.
The 2026 closed sales include:
$12.7 million at approximately $3,208/SF
$10.2375 million at approximately $2,660/SF
$8.55 million at approximately $3,379/SF
That’s an important lesson.
Building age alone does not determine Fisher Island value.
A desirable Oceanside residence may combine direct water orientation, generous floor plan, renovation quality and a location that a newer property cannot simply duplicate.
This is precisely why I wouldn’t tell a buyer:
“Just buy the newest building.”
Newness has value.
So does established scarcity.
Market Three: Bayview, Where the Middle Ground Can Be Extremely Wide
Bayview presents another layer of the market.
Current asking prices in the MLS data range from approximately $3.89 million to $18.25 million, depending on the residence.
Two 2026 closed sales demonstrate that spread:
$11.35 million for a 6,300-square-foot residence
and
$7.4 million for a 3,790-square-foot residence.
The lesson is similar:
Fisher Island building names aren’t enough.
The residence itself has to be evaluated.
A large, highly renovated Bayview home can operate in an entirely different competitive set from smaller or dated inventory in the same general product generation.
Market Four: Bayside Village, the Relative-Value Entry Point
“Value” and “Fisher Island” don’t usually appear in the same sentence.
But every luxury market has relative value.
On Fisher Island, Bayside Village is one place where that conversation becomes possible.
Current active asking prices in the MLS data generally range from approximately the high-$3 millions into the $7 million-plus range.
And Bayside was the most active segment of the conventional 2026 closed-sale data.
Five recorded closings occurred at approximately:
- $5.35M
- $4.70M
- $3.80M
- $3.604M
- $3.216M
Sold pricing for those transactions generally fell around $1,472 to $1,987 per square foot.
Compare that with a top Palazzo closing around $3,670/SF or an Oceanside sale above $3,300/SF.
That’s a very significant spread.
For a buyer who primarily wants the Fisher Island lifestyle and island access, rather than the newest or most prestigious condominium product, the older inventory deserves serious consideration.
That doesn’t make it inexpensive.
It makes it less expensive relative to Fisher Island’s upper tier.
Market Five: Seaside, Smaller Scale and a Different Price Threshold
Seaside creates another entry into island ownership.
The active MLS data includes residences from approximately $4.1 million to $5.5 million, although individual properties differ materially in size and condition.
The 2026 closed records include:
$3.0 million for a 2,049-square-foot Seaside residence
and
$1.65 million for a 690-square-foot Seaside Villa.
That $1.65 million closing is especially useful because it illustrates how misleading statements such as:
“You need $5 million to buy on Fisher Island”
can be.
There are exceptions.
But the residence obtained at that price point is obviously very different from a 7,000-square-foot Palazzo residence.
Price tells you where the search begins. Product tells you what you’re actually buying.
Six Fisher Island: The New-Construction Premium Enters the Market
Six Fisher Island is the major variable buyers now need to consider when evaluating established inventory.
The active MLS data includes a Six Fisher Island residence offered at approximately $17.1 million for 3,872 square feet, or roughly $4,416 per square foot at the current asking price.
That creates a fascinating comparison.
At approximately the same broad price level, a buyer may be able to consider:
- newest-generation construction at Six Fisher
- larger established Palazzo inventory
- substantial Oceanside residences
- extensively renovated older product
Those aren’t cosmetic differences.
They’re fundamentally different investment and lifestyle choices.
The buyer considering Six Fisher is paying for characteristics including new construction, current design, current building systems and scarcity of new product.
The buyer considering established inventory may receive more square footage, immediate occupancy, known operating history or a different waterfront position.
The right answer won’t be universal.

What Sold on Fisher Island in 2026? $133 Million Across 15 Condo Sales
The 15 conventional condo/villa transactions in the supplied report total approximately:
$132.98 million
That’s an average closing price of approximately $8.87 million.
But I would not use the average as the primary measure of Fisher Island.
The median is approximately $7.4 million, which better represents the midpoint of this very small transaction sample.
Even that needs context.
The 15 conventional condo/villa transactions in the MLS data total approximately:
| Product | 2026 Closed Sales |
| Palazzo | 3 |
| Oceanside | 3 |
| Bayview | 2 |
| Bayside Village | 5 |
| Seaside / Seaside Villa | 2 |
| Total | 15 |
The difference between the segments is enormous.
That’s why Fisher Island’s market should be analyzed property by property before it is analyzed statistically.
Why Fisher Island’s Average Price Per Square Foot Can Mislead Buyers
Among the 14 conventional closed transactions with sold $/SF reported, the median is approximately:
$1,970 per square foot
At first glance, that might appear to provide a convenient benchmark.
It doesn’t.
Consider the range contained in the same dataset:
Bayside: approximately $1,472/SF
Seaside: approximately $1,464/SF
Bayview: approximately $1,802–$1,953/SF
Oceanside: up to approximately $3,379/SF
Palazzo: approximately $2,053/SF (Palazzo Del Mare, $14.425M) to $3,670/SF ($28M closing)
A buyer using the island-wide $1,970/SF median to value a Palazzo residence could be badly wrong.
And someone applying Palazzo pricing to older Bayside product could make the opposite mistake.
Fisher Island is a collection of micro-markets inside a micro-market.
How 2026 Compares With 2024 and 2025
The $1,970/SF median above includes every 2026 condo and villa sale, including Bayside and Seaside sales below $5 million. My Fisher Island guide reports a higher median, approximately $2,660/SF. That figure uses only condo sales above $5 million, from January 2024 to September 2026. The two numbers measure different samples. They do not conflict.
For Fisher Island condo sales above $5 million, the MLS shows:
| Year | Closed Sales | Median Sold Price | Median Sold $/SF |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 19 | $9,165,000 | $2,604 |
| 2025 | 17 | $10,900,000 | $2,680 |
| 2026 (through September) | 9 | $11,350,000 | $2,357 |
The median sale price in 2026 is higher, but the median price per square foot is lower. Do not read that as a price decline. The 2026 figure comes from only eight sales that report $/SF, and one Palazzo sale at $2,053/SF pulls it down.
The more important signal is timing. All nine 2026 sales above $5 million closed between January 5 and May 28. The MLS shows no Fisher Island condo sale above $5 million from June to mid-September 2026. In a market this small, a four-month gap is not a trend by itself. But it is a reason for buyers to check each listing’s price history before they make an offer.

Why I Would Be Careful With Fisher Island Days on Market
The active MLS export contains listings showing very long cumulative days on market, with some exceeding 500, 900 and even 1,500 days.
I would not interpret that as evidence that every such property has simply been sitting untouched at one price for years.
At this level of the market, listing histories can include:
- withdrawals and relistings
- substantial price changes
- changes in representation
- unusual marketing strategies
- properties marketed while owners remain relatively indifferent to selling
- extremely small buyer pools
That doesn’t mean DOM should be ignored.
Quite the opposite.
Long exposure can create negotiating leverage.
But the listing history needs to be examined rather than reduced to one number.
Buyers Have More Leverage Than “Fisher Island Scarcity” Suggests
This is perhaps the most interesting takeaway from the current data.
Fisher Island is scarce.
But scarcity doesn’t mean every seller controls the transaction.
Several closed 2026 sales show meaningful differences between prior asking prices and final execution.
Examples in the MLS data include:
Palazzo Del Mare: $16.98M list → $14.425M sold
Bayview: $12.75M list → $11.35M sold
Bayview: $9.4M list → $7.4M sold
Bayside: $5.1M list → $4.7M sold
Seaside: $3.49M list → $3.0M sold
That doesn’t mean buyers should simply offer 15% below asking.
Every residence is different.
But it does mean:
Fisher Island’s scarcity premium does not eliminate price discovery.
Sellers can still overprice.
Buyers can still negotiate.
And a unique address doesn’t automatically make an aspirational asking price executable.
What Fisher Island Sellers Should Take From the 2026 Data
There is real demand.
The $133 million in conventional closed condo volume proves that buyers are transacting at substantial price levels.
But the market is selective.
A seller isn’t competing only with another unit in the same building.
Depending on the price, the competition may include:
Palazzo
Oceanside
Bayview
Six Fisher Island
South of Fifth
Bal Harbour
Surfside
or even a waterfront single-family estate elsewhere in Miami.
At $15 million or $20 million, the buyer’s geographic options expand enormously.
The seller’s argument therefore cannot simply be:
“This is Fisher Island.”
The property itself still has to justify the price.

Fisher Island vs. South of Fifth in 2026
This comparison becomes especially interesting because the two markets are physically so close.
South of Fifth offers:
- walkability
- restaurants
- South Pointe Park
- direct integration with Miami Beach
- significant oceanfront and bayfront condominium options
Fisher Island offers something fundamentally different:
controlled access and deliberate separation.
That separation is either the point or the problem.
A buyer who wants to leave the building and walk to dinner may find South of Fifth substantially more appealing.
A buyer who views separation from the public realm as part of the luxury proposition may strongly prefer Fisher Island.
At comparable multimillion-dollar budgets, this becomes a lifestyle decision before it becomes a spreadsheet decision.

Fisher Island vs. Miami’s Other Private-Island Markets
Fisher Island also shouldn’t automatically be compared only with Miami Beach condominiums.
Some buyers are really deciding between different forms of island living.
The underlying real estate is dramatically different, but the buyer may share the same initial objective:
water, privacy and separation from conventional city living.
The key difference is that Fisher Island delivers that privacy through a condominium-and-club ecosystem rather than conventional street-access single-family ownership.
What I Look for When Evaluating a Fisher Island Condo
1. Product Generation
Bayside, Oceanside, Palazzo and Six Fisher are fundamentally different products.
I establish that distinction before comparing price.
2. Renovation
Older Fisher Island inventory can be extraordinary when renovated properly.
It can also require substantial additional capital.
The purchase price is not necessarily the final cost basis.
3. View and Exposure
Ocean.
Bay.
Marina.
Island interior.
Miami skyline.
Different exposures command different buyer demand.
4. Residence Size
At this level, price per square foot can distort value when comparing a 2,000-square-foot residence with one exceeding 7,000 square feet.
5. Outdoor Space
Terrace size and usability matter enormously in South Florida.
6. Association Economics
The building’s carrying costs need to be evaluated alongside the broader costs associated with Fisher Island ownership.
7. Listing History
Long DOM deserves investigation.
Not automatic rejection.
8. Resale Competition
How many genuinely comparable residences exist?
Scarcity should be measured at the residence level, not simply the ZIP code.
9. The Alternative Purchase
This may be the most important question:
What else can the same amount of money buy in Miami?
At $5 million, $10 million and $20 million, the answers are dramatically different.
Who Has Leverage in Fisher Island in 2026?
The answer is:
it depends on the property.
Buyer Leverage Is Stronger When:
- the listing has substantial cumulative market time
- multiple comparable residences are available
- the residence needs significant renovation
- the seller has already reduced the price
- newer inventory creates a compelling alternative
Seller Leverage Is Stronger When:
- the residence is genuinely unique
- the floor plan is difficult to replicate
- renovation quality is exceptional
- the exposure or view is unusually desirable
- very few comparable properties exist
The ZIP code creates scarcity.
The individual residence determines leverage.
The Fisher Island Investment Thesis
Bull Case
Fisher Island’s controlled access, limited geography, established luxury identity and finite high-quality residential inventory continue to support substantial premiums, while Six Fisher adds a new benchmark at the top of the market.
Base Case
The island remains strong but increasingly segmented.
Best-in-class residences outperform.
Older or less differentiated inventory must compete more aggressively on price, renovation and value.
Risk Factors
Buyers should consider:
- substantial acquisition premiums
- high ownership and association costs
- renovation expenses in older inventory
- extended marketing periods
- competition from new luxury development elsewhere
- very thin comparable-sale samples
- the possibility of overpaying simply for the Fisher Island address
Scarcity is valuable.
Scarcity at any price is not.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Fisher Island condos are currently for sale?
As of August 2026, the MLS showed 38 active condominium and villa listings on Fisher Island, not including single-family estates. Current inventory changes continuously.
What is the median asking price for a Fisher Island condo?
The median asking price among the 38 active condo/villa listings in the supplied dataset is approximately $9.78 million.
How many Fisher Island condos have sold in 2026?
The MLS shows 15 conventional closed condo and villa sales on Fisher Island from January 1, 2026 to [EXPORT DATE], totaling approximately $133 million. Nine of those sales closed above $5 million, all between January and May 2026.
What is the median Fisher Island condo sale price in 2026?
The median asking price among the 38 active condo and villa listings in the MLS data is approximately $9.78 million.
What is the median price per square foot on Fisher Island?
An island-wide average can be misleading because product varies dramatically. Among the conventional closed records with sold $/SF reported, the median is approximately $1,970/SF, but individual transactions in the dataset range from the mid-$1,400s/SF to more than $3,600/SF.
Which Fisher Island condos are the most expensive?
The highest-priced active condominium inventory is in the Palazzo buildings, with asking prices approaching $40 million. The highest 2026 sale was $28 million in the Palazzo collection. Six Fisher Island represents the newest generation of ultra-luxury development.
Is older Fisher Island inventory still worth considering?
Absolutely, depending on the residence. Older Oceanside, Bayview and Bayside properties may offer attractive size, orientation or relative value compared with newer construction. Condition and renovation requirements need to be evaluated carefully.
Is Fisher Island a buyer’s market in 2026?
I wouldn’t label the entire island with one market condition. Inventory and negotiating leverage differ significantly by building and price level. The current data shows both substantial asking prices and meaningful negotiation in several closed transactions.
Should I buy at Six Fisher Island or an existing Fisher Island condo?
That depends on how much you value new construction relative to residence size, immediate occupancy, established building history and specific views. Buyers should compare the alternatives directly rather than assume newer automatically means better.
Is Fisher Island better than South of Fifth?
They serve different lifestyles. South of Fifth emphasizes walkability and integration with Miami Beach. Fisher Island emphasizes controlled access, privacy and an island-club environment. Neither is universally better.
Ready to Analyze Fisher Island at the Property Level?
Fisher Island’s biggest advantage is scarcity.
Its biggest analytical danger is also scarcity.
When very few properties trade, one extraordinary sale can distort the apparent market.
One dated residence can make another look expensive.
And one $28 million closing doesn’t automatically establish a new value for everything around it.
That’s why I would never advise buying Fisher Island from a ZIP-code average.
I want to know:
Which building?
Which residence?
Which view?
What renovation?
What listing history?
And what does the same money buy elsewhere?

About the Market Data
This analysis was calculated from Southeast Florida MLS (SEFMLS) data for Fisher Island, covering closed sales from January 1, 2026 to August 20th, 2026 and active listings as of that date. The 2024 to 2026 comparison table uses a separate MLS export of Fisher Island condo sales above $5 million, from January 2024 to September 2026.
The source export contains both condominium/villa inventory and single-family residences. To avoid distorting the condominium analysis, the market statistics above use condo and villa records only and exclude the single-family estate listings.
The conventional closed condo/villa sample contains 15 transactions. Fourteen provide a reported sold price per square foot; one closed record does not. The report states that MLS information is believed accurate but not guaranteed.
Current inventory, pricing, listing status and comparable sales can change at any time. Property-specific analysis should be performed using the latest MLS and public-record information.
Information is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change without notice. Real estate statistics, listings and sales information should be independently verified.
