South Florida’s Trophy Home Market in 2026: Records, Global Cash, and the New Luxury Baseline

Alana vs. Origin in Bay Harbor Islands: The Luxury Buyer’s Guide to Deposit Strategy, Timing, and Certainty

In Bay Harbor Islands, boutique waterfront living often comes down to one decisive variable: when your capital is required, and what that timing buys you in certainty. Alana and Origin Residences by Artefacto both advertise a familiar 40 percent pre-closing deposit and 60 percent due at closing, yet the cadence differs meaningfully.
