Key Points & Themes
- Luxury and $1M+ single-family and condo markets are still showing resilience in Miami, even as mid-market segments soften. MIAMI REALTORS®+1
- Price appreciation over the past decade has been strong: for example, median condo prices in Miami-Dade rose significantly over the last 10 years. MIAMI REALTORS®
- Global demand, foreign buyers, and buyers shifting wealth out of stocks into real estate contribute to continued strength at the upper end, even amid broader market cooling. MIAMI REALTORS®+1
- That said: financing, insurance (especially in hurricane-prone zones), maintenance costs, and supply of high-end/new-construction homes all affect luxury buyers differently — requiring careful due diligence. Miami Legal, P.A.+2sold.com+2
- Advice for high-end buyers: evaluate long-term investment value (equity, rental potential, appreciation), pay attention to building quality / HOA status (for condos), and consider how global economic shifts could impact demand.
The luxury segment may weather shifts better — but it’s not immune. Smart luxury buyers stay informed, cautious, and strategic.
