    Waterfront premium vs. non-waterfront properties.

    Waterfront properties command a 190% premium over non-waterfront. The gap continues to widen.

    Buyer Origin (2024)

    Where Miami's luxury buyers are relocating from.

    New York remains the #1 source of luxury buyers, driven by tax migration and remote work flexibility.

    Days on Market by Price Point

    Luxury properties over $5M take longer to sell due to a smaller buyer pool, but well-priced homes in the $1-2M range are moving quickly—often within 60 days.

    Strategic pricing remains critical. Overpriced listings languish while properly positioned properties generate multiple offers.

    2026 Market Outlook

    Continued Appreciation

    Billionaire migration from California and New York, combined with tight inventory, suggests 8-15% appreciation in prime neighborhoods through 2026.

    Emerging Neighborhoods

    Watch Edgewater, Allapattah, and Little River. Early adopters are finding value before the next wave of development.

    Rate Sensitivity

    Cash buyers dominate the luxury market, insulating it from rate fluctuations. Entry-level luxury ($500K-1M) remains rate-sensitive.
