Mediterranean vs. Modern in South Florida: Which Style Protects Resale Best Right Now

In South Florida, architectural style is not just taste; it is a pricing signal, a maintenance profile, and a proxy for how today’s luxury buyers actually live. New national style data shows Mediterranean homes command the highest median listing prices, yet recent appreciation has been flat, while modern and contemporary product has posted stronger multi-year gains. For Miami Beach and adjacent coastal submarkets, the most resale-resilient choice tends to be the one that aligns with indoor-outdoor living, feels authentic to place, and minimizes renovation friction in a low-growth market.

South Florida Ultra-Luxury Real Estate Outlook 2026: Where Liquidity, Scarcity, and Lifestyle Converge

South Florida’s ultra-luxury market is moving into 2026 with near-record momentum, but the decision set for buyers has matured: less about chasing headlines, more about underwriting lifestyle, certainty, and long-term optionality. From Miami Beach price discovery and Fisher Island scarcity to Brickell’s shifting listing landscape and Palm Beach’s cash-heavy stability, this is a market where micro-location, building quality, and long-horizon conviction matter more than broad metro medians.
