11 Hard Truths About Miami’s Luxury Real Estate Market (2025)

In this solo episode, I share 11 laser-focused truths about Miami’s 2025 luxury real estate market.

The data is clear:

• At the $2,000/SF+ level, only 17–22% of deals are financed — the rest present as cash.
• The $5M+ resale condo market is a buyer’s market with 312 listings and 179 expired.
• HOA + insurance fees are up nearly 60% since 2019, hitting older condos hardest.
• Brickell has 4,469 new condos in the pipeline, pressuring resales.
• Miami holds two national records for most expensive neighborhoods (Fisher Island & Gables Estates).

If you’re buying or selling in Miami’s top tier, this is the actionable roadmap you don’t want to miss.
