House-hunting in Miami, scored and shared

Miami's high-rise condos, mid-century homes and new builds spread across a city of water and sun, with HOA fees and insurance to match. Scoring each the same way is how you compare a Brickell condo against a Coral Gables house without losing the thread.

Compare Miami homes on what matters to you

Whether you're weighing up Brickell, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove or anywhere else around Miami, the hard part is the same, with too many listings and not enough clarity. Groundwork lets you score each place against your own priorities and ranks the shortlist automatically, so the standouts rise to the top instead of getting lost in a tab graveyard.

A local angle worth scoring

Flood and storm-surge zones, hurricane rating, HOA and insurance costs and which way the balcony faces all swing a Miami home , so bake them into your scoring.

Buying with a partner or renting with housemates across Miami? Invite them by email and you all score the same shared shortlist, so the decision gets made on what you rated together, not on who saw the last place. It updates live, right there at the inspection.
