Housing market in Miami — is it worth buying?

Median home value here is around $475,200. Prices are steep but there are pockets of affordability. For those renting, typical rent is $1657. Is now a good time to buy in Miami? Or better to keep renting? Looking for opinions from both homeowners and renters.
