Report shows Miami drivers spend 6.1 days per year stuck in traffic

While Miami is known for its vibrant beaches and lively nightlife, drivers would say the the city is also known for its unbearable traffic.

In a new report by injury lawyers at Bader Scott who analyzed TomTom data, Miami ranks as the eighth city in the U.S. with the worst rush hour traffic.

Hours per week on the road

If drivers feel like they spend days behind other cars as they commute to work or try to navigate the city, then they’d be right.

According to the report, drivers spend an average of 3.20 hours per week in rush hour traffic, equaling to 6.1 days.

Those 3.20 hours spent on the road combine to be 147 hours over a 230-working day year, the report said.

“Ultimately, rush hour traffic is inevitable as people travel to and from work or school,” said Seth Bader, a spokesperson for Bader Scott. “While it can be frustrating, the most important thing is to set off in plenty of time and drive safely. Being patient and prepared not only helps reduce stress, but also ensures a safer journey for everyone on the road.”

Dealing with traffic

Bader also provided some tips on what drivers can do to avoid traffic.

“The best way of avoiding the traffic is to travel during off-peak hours, however, this isn’t always possible for most people,” he said. “Instead, try taking different routes or using public transportation and carpooling to reduce the number of cars on the roads.”

The city with the worst rush hour traffic was New York City, where drivers spent 9.9 days on the road, the report said.

“It is fascinating to see how much time drivers in major cities across the US are losing to rush hour traffic,” Bader said. Widely considered as one of the busiest cities in the country, New York unsurprisingly leads the ranking by a significant margin, at 5.17 hours per week.”

Former Titans GM mock Miami right tackle to the Cleveland Browns at 6

The Cleveland Browns traded for an extended right tackle, former Houston Texan Tytus Howard, at the start of free agency as they began their rebuild of the offensive line that was awful in 2025. But Howard has played every position on the offensive line except for center, so if it’s all about getting your best five on the field, which it should be, there’s a chance Howard doesn’t play at right tackle in 2026.

While doing a mock draft on Peter Schrager’s podcast, former Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon had the Browns drafting Miami (FL) right tackle sixth overall. He talked about the issue with Howard, but said Mauigoa could either take over the tackle spot or be a really good guard.

Carthon said he knows that Mauigoa would be one of their best five, whether it is at guard or tackle. Some will say that a guy who may be best at guard isn’t worth the sixth overall pick, and I have to disagree. You should draft the best football players, and Francis Mauigoa is my highest-rated offensive lineman and seventh overall. It might be at guard, but I have a good feeling that Mauigoa will find a home in the NFL as a high-quality offensive lineman.

Inventory drops for first time since 2023 as sales rebound across coastal Miami, beaches

Inventory of homes and condos across the coastal Miami mainland and Miami Beach and the barrier island markets fell in the first quarter, marking the first big inventory drops since 2023.

The Corcoran Group’s first quarter reports don’t cover all of Miami-Dade County, but they offer insight into how the coastal markets, which have a higher share of luxury properties, are performing.

In Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, Miami Beach, Fisher Island and Key Biscayne, single-family home inventory dropped 15 percent annually to 398 listings, and condo inventory was down 13 percent to 3,919 listings.

On Miami’s coastal mainland markets, which include Aventura, Miami Shores, Upper East Side, Edgewater, downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove, inventory slipped 4 percent to 4,584 condo listings and 555 single-family listings, down 6 percent year-over-year.

Here’s a closer look at the market:

Miami Beach and the barrier islands

Single-family sales rose 13 percent year-over-year to 85 closings, the first time they have increased since the second quarter of 2024. Condo closings rose 15 percent to 693 closings, the first increase since the last quarter of 2024.

Pricing dropped, with the median price of single-family homes down 4 percent to $3.5 million and the median condo price down 9 percent to $640,000. The average price per square foot was nearly flat at $1,119.

Still, buyers set records with their purchases. Billionaire Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg paid $170 million for the waterfront mansion at 7 Indian Creek Island Road, and Starbucks billionaire Howard Schultz paid $44 million, or $7,949 per square foot, for a penthouse at the Four Seasons Residences at The Surf Club.

Coastal mainland

Sales of single-family homes on the coastal mainland rose 16 percent to 220 closings. While markets like Coral Gables experienced declines in condo and single-family home sales, Coconut Grove home sales surged — up over 100 percent for single-family homes to 47 closings and up 55 percent to 87 condo closings. Condo sales rose 13 percent to 759 closings.

The median price of single-family homes across the coastal mainland rose 11 percent to just over $2 million. The median price of condos increased slightly, up 1 percent, to $602,000.

The priciest deals in the first quarter were the $32 million trade of 12 Tahiti Beach Island Road in Coral Gables, and the $19.8 million sale of a penthouse at Vita at Grove Isle.
