Thinking about a move? Whether you’re relocating for work, lifestyle, or simply curiosity, understanding how Miami stacks up against other cities is key. Thanks to Coldwell Banker’s Move Meter®, comparing cost of living, housing affordability, and quality of life has never been easier.
What is the Move Meter®?
Coldwell Banker created the Move Meter® as a complimentary tool that helps you compare two U.S. cities side by side. By analyzing cost of living, average home prices, job market trends, and lifestyle data, it provides an overall “Move Score” to help you weigh your options with confidence.
For Miami residents or anyone considering South Florida, the tool is especially valuable. With Miami’s vibrant culture, strong real estate market, and growing job base, how does it really compare to other destinations?
Step 1: Select Your City
The Move Meter® compares two cities at a time.
Each result shows how the cities differ across:
• Overall cost-of-living index
• Housing affordability
• Grocery, healthcare, and transportation costs
• Employment and job market data
• Lifestyle and quality-of-life factors
Step 2: Analyze the Results
Let’s say you’re deciding between Miami, New York, Austin, and Los Angeles. You can run comparisons and easily spot the trade-offs.
For example, New York may offer a deeper job market but at a higher cost, while Austin provides affordability but a different pace of life.
Step 3: Weigh What Matters Most
The real power of the Move Meter® is personal. If your priority is housing affordability, the tool highlights where your dollar goes further. If you value career opportunities, you’ll see which cities have stronger job markets. And if lifestyle is your deciding factor, Miami’s beaches, international culture, and year-round sunshine may tip the scales in its favor.
Why It Matters for Miami
Miami continues to attract buyers and renters from across the U.S. and abroad. By using the Move Meter®, individuals considering a move can clearly see why Miami is competitive: strong cultural amenities, a thriving luxury market, and a lifestyle that blends business with leisure.
For homeowners and investors, these comparisons also underline Miami’s relative value—especially when stacked against other coastal metros like Los Angeles or New York.
✅ Bottom Line: Coldwell Banker’s Move Meter® makes relocation decisions smarter. Whether you’re deciding on Miami or simply curious about how far your money goes, this tool gives clarity where it matters most.
