South Florida enters 2026 with ultra-luxury momentum that is broad-based but not uniform: $10M-plus closings remain frequent, Miami Beach condo pricing is pressing higher on a per-square-foot basis, and trophy transactions are resetting expectations without necessarily rewriting everyday comps.

Guest-Ready Luxury Condos in Coconut Grove: Boutique Service, Bayfront Amenities, and the Details That Matter
