Myth vs. Reality: Debunking Common Myths About South Florida Luxury Real Estate

Miami’s luxury market gets labeled a bubble, yet its structure looks materially different from the leverage-led cycle many buyers remember. Today, cash-heavy closings, deeper ultra-luxury demand, and migration-driven fundamentals have become stabilizers.

For sophisticated buyers, the question is less “Is it a bubble?” and more “Where is risk hiding, and how do you price it?”
